Every time I lose power I have to rip the unit off the wall and disconnect the wires and reset it which is extremely difficult.  Before I buy a ring camera and give up, did they ever figure out a competent way to reset the wired doorbell?  Like no one thought to make an easy reset?  Guess this was better than removing it and throwing it in a bucket of water for 24 hours.  Such crap tech

How long was the outage? There's a small internal battery that may have discharged so you'd have to wait for ~15 minutes for it to charge back up again to be able to work.

 

The wireless doorbell doesn't need the  transformer to be connected so doesn't have this problem.

I had 20 hours of no power.  I've had power for 48 hours since.  I know the routine.  Remove the unit completely.  My wires are very small and brittle and this is pathetic tech.  The reset button should suffice
