Pro 1 doesn't have head to toe. Pro 2 does. The battery doorbells are probably the cheaper way to get head to toe as they can still be hooked up to the bell wiring

For the simplest possible option: Ring Wired Plus for the doorbell + Amazon Echo 8 or Echo 11 for the doorbell screens (Avoid all cheaper doorbells with batteries if you can. They are unreliable.) You can have as many screens as you want. Once through initial up… it’s set and forget it.

The ring wire doorbell is under 2 in. I only know this cuz I also had a tight spot where others wouldn't fit. Want to say it's like 1.75. You might have to trim a little bit of that trim there, but it'll use the existing wiring you won't have to update batteries or anything. I don't know if ring is on your list or not. Various people have issues with various companies, and some of them are valid. But physically it looks like it would fit.

I had the pro and would consider it overpriced and not worth it.

If you use a Ring be aware that you need the model that runs on power. I had a battery model that was connected to power to charge the battery. The battery often was drained and I needed to remove it and recharge outside the doorbell. Use the powered model without the battery to feed from the old 24vac feed.

It’s tough that you don’t have wiring for a doorbell, because no battery-powered option is going to match a wired one for reliability. I’ve been using a Ring wired doorbell along with a few wired Ring outdoor cameras, and they’ve been rock-solid when it comes to alerts and notifications. I’m not a fan of paying a subscription, but in Ring’s case I keep it because the reliability makes it worth it. I tried the Eufy doorbell in the past and the notifications were hit or miss. Until something else can match Ring’s consistency, I think they’ll stay at the top of the doorbell game.
