I recently upgraded a 2016 pro wired one for the latest pro model (not the brand new 4k one) and it solved all my problems. The old one would never give me motion notifications, connect to live extremely slowly, and shut off randomly. Something might be wrong with yours.
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.
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.
I wonder if these new devices will improve overheating now that 24/7 recording is being added (to the Pro model.) My current Wired Pro is really warm to the touch even on cool days. I had constant “Doorbell is trying to cool down” messages this summer.
