Would a diode allow for a digital doorbell to work with a C4 Wifi Chime?

I've posted a few threads exploring a few different ideas in order to get a Westminster Chime digital sound when the C4 Wifi Chime button is pressed.  Through my research I've found that with other video doorbells, a simple diode installed on the doorbell itself allows the button to seem to be pressed for a longer amount of time to allow the digital doorbell enough power for long enough to complete playing the full Westminster Chime sound I'm looking for out of the digital doorbell device.

I have some 1N4001's and 1N4004's but don't know much of anything about this so I wanted to ask first if it would hurt anything to try using one of these to see if it will allow the digital doorbell to play the whole Westminster Chime.

Right now, it will play about 1 second of the Westminster Chime on the digital doorbell, so if I could just get it to have power to play for another 5 seconds, I'd have it working.

I'm just scared to try this without someone with some electrical knowledge confirming I won't hurt anything or damage the C4 Wifi Chime unit in any way by adding a diode.

Thanks for your input.
