Batteries got good enough and electronics efficient enough that for a doorbell it makes more sense to use a battery than to run a dedicated 12v wire.
My dumb doorbell has a little coin battery.
I couldn't be bothered to regulary take down my doorbell to charge it. I'd probably tell people to just text me, when they're at the door.
I have one, it's once every 3 months. Mostly it's about being notified of packages for me, and those guys will absolutely not message me.
My doorbell generates the necessary electricity when someone pushes the button.
Interesting. What kind is that?

I got this doorbell and it works great
I didn't know they made anything like this! That's ingenious. I might get one.
