Re: ACNC Doorbell Fon question

As listed on their site, it draws 0.1amps at 117vac. IOW, it doesn't use
much power.
As far as taking installed HA things with me if I sell my home, I really
don't care. The time it takes to remove something and put in something
else - be it a switch or a doorbell - makes it hardly worth the trouble.
I'd rather just get new/better stuff for a new house.  With prices as
high as they are for homes today the cost of replacing the HA stuff with
new is generally less than 1% of the price.
 But, if you do want to take something, just be clear in the listing and
the counteroffer as to what's in/excluded.
