Since we carry our iPhone everywhere, or wear the Apple Watch everywhere, I can always hear the chime
I then bought a ring accessorie that plugs in anywhere in the house and sends out the rings and warnings
Even if you have new technology, I still recommend connecting the Ring to the old chime button. This will keep the Ring battery charged, and it will provide a backup system if your wifi is down (I think).
