Can an Essential Wire-free Video Doorbell be connected to a Smart Hub AND a Chime 2 simultaneously?

[AlexVi]

I already have a multiple camera and Smart Hub (VMB4540) set up and operational (including multiple camera Secure subscription).  I have purchased an Essential Wire-free Video Doorbell (AVD2001) and a Chime 2 (AC2001) to complete the system.

Can I install the doorbell such that it records to the cloud and to the Smart Hub (just like the cameras do) AS WELL AS simultaneously communicate to and annunciate on the chime when the doorbell button is depressed?  If so, please describe the installation process to achieve this dual communication.  Thanks!

You can certainly pair the doorbell to the smarthub - and if you do that, recordings will be saved as your other cameras.

You are still supposed to be able to pair the chime 2 with the doorbell after you do that.  Though I don't own that chime, so I have no direct experience with the install.
