Logitech Circle and Compatible Chimes
AnsweredIn the installation process, Logitech runs through a number of questions about whether one has a compatible chime. My chime is not compatible. But I have been unable to identify what kind of chime I should purchase that would be compatible with the Circle doorbell.
Can you suggest a brand name or at least the minimum characteristics that make a doorbell chime compatible with the Logitech Circle doorbell?

Hello Jim,
We do not have a list of compatible chimes however these are the key things to look for when purchasing a chime for the Circle Doorbell:
Make sure the transformer is not built into the wall chime
It must be a wired chime
It should operate between 8-24V and 10A
The chime can be Analog or DigitalAs long as you follow the above points then the chime should work with the Circle doorbell.
Please let me know if you require further assistance.
Best regards,
Chris

Thanks, Chris. This is very helpful in helping me understand which characteristics the chime should have to be compatible with the Circle Doorbell. I am confused by one part. I understand that it must operate between 8-24 V[olts] [I assume DC], but I do not understand the "10A" reference. Does "10A" refer to amperage of the electrical current? If so, that seems really high to me. Could you help me understand?

You would need to go by the markings on the transformer.
For what it's worth, I ordered a 16 volt, 10 volt-amp, and it's not enough to ring my old chimes from the 80s. That's fine though, as it 'rings' through my HomePods.
If I had it to do over, I would probably buy this one:

Although I have yet to install it, I purchased Newhouse Hardware CKIT2 Two-Note Electric Modern Door Chime Kit,
