gen2 doorbell with no chime

[luckiep]

if my house does not have a physical chime, do i even need the chime puck?  i want to connect gen2 wired directly to 20V transformer and use the home app for notifications only.   seems like a simple question, but can't find a straight answer.

As I noted on another thread where you asked this question, Google Nest does not seem to document whether the chime connector is needed with a wired Google Nest doorbell if you do NOT have an indoor doorbell chime, and none of their sample wiring diagrams show wiring WITHOUT an indoor doorbell chime.

Maybe Google Nest Support will step in and clarify.

We have a 1st gen Google Nest Hello Doorbell wired directly to an OhmKat Video Doorbell Power Supply and did NOT use the chime connector because OhmKat's website (https://www.ohmkat.com/products/ohmkat-video-doorbell-power-supply-compatible-with-nest-hello-no-exi...?) says "You do not nee the chime connector with OhmKat power supplies, even when installing a chime. We have built the necessary protections into our power supplies which makes the chime connector redundant."
