Details

We have a Ring doorbell that we'd like to permanently wire in and fix to our front door. Right now, it's mounted on a wooden plate on the door frame, but has no electrical connection and runs on battery only. We'd like to have it wired to the old doorbell circuit (old doorbell button is just above). We really want BOTH to work; ie. The Ring draws current from the doorbell circuit, but still rings independantly over Wifi. Meanwhile, leave the old doorbell in-place as a fallback, in case the Ring wifi isn't working, etc. (Also, the old doorbell is recessed into the frame and we don't want the effort of removing, filling, re-painting the old doorbell). Hence - good electrical knowledge of "old-style" doorbells as well as how the Ring (original) doorbell can draw power off the circuit is requred.
