Ring doorbell owners are obsessed with £16 money-saving accessory after secret code discount slashes usual £40 price tag
The popular Amazon -owned brand offers a number of additional kit to boost your video doorbell.

One of the biggest nuisances is having to charge the battery, which can leave you without any visibility from your front door for a number of hours.
An accessory that helps get around this is the solar charger.
And with weather starting to brighten up across the UK this week it could be the best time to consider one.
"I've had mine since the end of February and I've not had to charge mine since," one buyer wrote on HotUKDeals.
"Really made a difference for me."
Another said: "This is decent.
"Extends battery but does not stop need for recharge especially in winter. It's worth it for the money."
The device works with selected Ring doorbell models, including:
Ring Doorbell 3
Ring Doorbell 3 Plus
Ring Doorbell 4
Ring Doorbell Plus
Ring Doorbell Battery Pro
The Ring Solar Charger usually costs £40 to buy from Ring directly.
But currently a highly-rated eBay seller is listing the official device for £20.
You can save even more money with a discount code at the moment.
Selected accounts can add the code LOOPY20 at the checkout for 20 per cent off.
Will the Ring Solar Charger work for me?
According to Ring, battery-powered doorbell can stay charged even longer than before with just three to four hours of direct sunlight every day.
"For best results, install facing south if located in the northern hemisphere; install facing north if located in the southern hemisphere," the company says.
That will bring the device's total cost down to £15.96.
The LOOPY20 code is only valid until May 2 so there are only a few days left to take advantage of the offer.

Amazon rolls out Gopuff ultra-fast grocery deliveries across UK
The launch means shoppers can order thousands of grocery products including alcohol, snacks and fresh food at any time of day. Gopuff promises same-day delivery from local 'micro-fulfilment centres' – with orders arriving in under an hour and as fast as 15 minutes, available all day, every day. The Pennsylvania-based company was one of a clutch of ultra-fast grocery delivery companies that expanded quickly during the Covid-19 pandemic when lockdowns heightened consumer demand. Turkey-based rival Getir pulled out of the UK, Europe and the US last year after its finances came under pressure and it kickstarted a cost-cutting drive. Amazon's UK roll-out of Gopuff follows an initial launch to residents in Birmingham and Salford in May. The service is now available in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chessington, Coventry, Derby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Salford, Sheffield and Swansea. It joins grocery retailers Morrisons and Iceland, which are available to Amazon's UK customers. Russell Jones, Amazon's director of grocery partnerships, said: 'We are always working to give customers more choice and more convenient options to have their groceries delivered. 'The new launch with Gopuff brings our customers access to a convenient and affordable way to access their everyday groceries.'

Amazon is handing out free Echo speakers this week and here's how to get yours
Amazon is offering an early Prime Day deal ahead of the main event and it means you can get an Echo for free. It's a massive week for bargain hunters. From tomorrow, July 8, Amazon's big Prime Day sale begins, and that means there will be a flurry of bargains to be bagged. We already know that products from Bose, Sonos and LEGO will be discounted, but ahead of all those money-saving deals going live in the morning, there's a mega bundle that's already available for eager shoppers. Right now, you can head to Amazon's pages and pop two Echo Pop speakers in your online shopping basket for just £45.98. That's already a good deal, but things get even better as the offer also includes a smart light bulb as well. The total price for this huge bundle of smart devices usually costs a whopping £109.97 (NOIW £45.98). So, that basically means you are getting one Echo Pop for free. The only thing you'll need to claim is a Prime account (£8.99 per month). If you don't already subscribe to Prime, don't panic, as Amazon is currently offering a month of access for free. SEE THE ECHO POP DEAL HERE Never heard of the Echo Pop before? As a quick reminder, this smart speaker offers bright and loud sound in a compact design. Of course, because it's made by Amazon, there is also full access to the firm's Alexa smart assistant so you can ask questions, play music and control other devices via voice commands. As we mentioned earlier, along with the speakers, there is also that smart device thrown in as well. The bulb included is the clever Tapo L530BA which can connect to the Echo Pop and be switched off and on via Alexa. Its colour can also be changed to millions of different shades from the rainbow which makes it perfect for setting scenes in your room. If this offer sounds enticing, you can see full details below. As an example of how good it is, Argos currently has just one Echo Pop for £44.99. It's a tempting promotion, just remember that Amazon is sure to announce even more discounts on Tuesday, July 8. That's the date when this major Prime Day showcase kicks off and expect a swathe of lower prices to be unveiled across all of the big tech brands and Amazon's own devices.
