You would not want one which gets too hot, worst case someone holds down your doorbell button for a long time.

What kind of resistor do I need for Ring doorbell?

While the directions above may recommend a 20-50 Watt and 25-33 ohm resistor, that may be overkill if you are going to keep the wired chime in the circuit. Some experimentation or calculation may be required to determine the lowest voltage and current allowed by the wired chime for operation.

How is the one button doorbell system wired?

Wired into the doorbell circuit at a junction box, the junction box steps down the voltage level form the regular 120 volt circuit to the 6-24 volt circuit. The drawing at the top shows how a one-button doorbell system is wired.

Why does my Ring doorbell keep ringing the doorbell?

Sure, when the visitor rings the bell, the Ring shorts the two wires to simulate a doorbell push, and then it lets go of that correctly. And then, it needs to recharge its internal battery – transmitting video over WiFi is hard work. So it allows current to flow at that lower rate. Unbeknownst to the Ring, that is enough to ring the chime.
