On a side note not sure why you need to turn this off, the voltage to the door bell and the switch is less than 24 vac, and typically around 18 vac which is very easy to work with and if you accidently short the door bell switch wires all that happens is the door bell rings.
Probably because all of the smart doorbell instructions say to turn off the breaker to the existing doorbell before installation. Although it really isn’t necessary.
