Abstract

In one aspect, an example method includes drawing a current through a doorbell circuit. While drawing the current through the doorbell circuit, the example method includes determining, by the doorbell device, a maximum doorbell circuit current that will not activate a doorbell chime. Based on determining the maximum doorbell circuit, the example method includes configuring a doorbell device to draw the determined maximum doorbell circuit current through the doorbell circuit. Determining the maximum doorbell circuit current that will not activate the doorbell chime further includes: (i) determining whether the current being drawn through the doorbell circuit has activated the doorbell chime, (ii) if the current being drawn through the doorbell circuit has activated the doorbell chime, decrementing the current drawn through the doorbell circuit, and (iii) if the current being drawn through the doorbell circuit has not activated the doorbell chime, incrementing the current drawn through the doorbell circuit.
