If you can not locate your transformer because it was buried in the wall or something just get a ring pro 2 it comes with a power supply kit, you wire that to the trans and front screws like he shows and you don’t need to replace the transformer. Works with 16v 10VAC just like he has. That was my exact case and works just fine

Hi...my current doorbell transformer puts out 15.9V @ the transformer...will that work, or does that 0.1v's make that much of a difference? I did order a Ring Pro2 and acording to what i see online, it does have the Power Pro Kit 3 in the box, but i thought i still needed to have 16v's minimum to make it work? If i can just hook the Pro kit to my trans and be good..i'm surely happy with that!

Thank you very much! Very clear concise short. My problem was 5 year old house, wife heard buzzing in closet wall. Nothing in there. When I held plastic db cover in kitchen it buzzed less. Got larger transformer as u suggested. Hidden in behind doorbell like yours. I replaced old smaller tf. Works great. No buzz. Our dog started barking like yours so I knew it was fixed.

Ok, I am still not understanding if you are only changing the button, or the doorbell unit and the transformer. Ok, so the power at the button is low voltage. You can feel it but it is not dangerous. The same for the power at the doorbell unit. The power at the transformer is full 110/120. You asked what do you need to do with the voltage detector. Well, detect voltage... You wanted to know how to find the right breaker for the doorbell. So, have someone hold the voltage detector by the wires. It will beep. When the second person flips the right breaker the voltage detector will stop beeping.

@AroundTheHome1
2 жыл бұрын
Voltage and Amperage are two different things. The second number that I read off in the video was the amperage output. And if you have the Ring doorbell, I don't know their exact requirements or exact install. I know this isn't helping very much. I would suggest to first find your transformer, which may be behind the doorbell like mine, or in your heater closet. They have also been found in attics, but that sucks to find. And then when you find it check it's output and check with your ring doorbell and see if it fits the requirements. Or, you can just install it and see if it works right. My Arlo camera that I started with didn't have a diagnostic to check the voltage and amperage, but the Eufy does, and that's when I found out that I didn't have a good enough transformer. I don't know if Ring has a diagnostic check or not. Good luck with your project. Thank you for watching. Check out hundreds more of our videos at www.aroundthehome.org

This is how it has been from the previous owners. I know that high voltage wires must be inside the junction box, and the low voltage wires must be outside. I have no idea how to attach the transformer, which looks very similar to yours, to this junction box. My chime is in a different location and I do not have the junction box covered at all. Is there a cover that can be used, too?

This is a good one with 1080p resolution. Here is a better one with 2K resolution and longer battery life. www.amazon.com/dp/B081C4JN51?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B081C4JN51&pd_rd_w=bGUh2&pf_rd_p=5d846283-ed3e-4512-a744-a30f97c5d738&pd_rd_wg=dIe0F&pf_rd_r=JGM0X3V6SM87TXYWAG3Z&pd_rd_r=e3066e1b-2ab7-4e95-a596-d18bd335894f&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMkJSS1g3MUJLOEtOJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTY3NjQ0MUY3N0hRS0JaNjFBQSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjYyMzEyTkpZMVEwWDZKU0YyJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ%3D%3D&linkCode=ll1&tag=greatwhitenin-20&linkId=5ad7a003f7ccc0cd49c7cb6515b7da28&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl But if you want to know where I would put it, then I would put it behind the chime unit like in this video. Much closer to the front door then the mechanical room / heater closet.

Shouldn't the transformer be in an accessible place? I.e. not covered?

What if the house was built in 1950?

?? I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking does it have a transformer? Or maybe where it may be? Is your home in the US? Which state? Do you have a wired doorbell?

@@AroundTheHome1 apologies. I was asking if a house built in 1950 would have a transformer, not sure now why I thought you might know. You never indicated to be an expert on all homes transformer status. Lol. That was my intention at least, sorry for not being specific, and you might not know my answer, but I live in Oklahoma. I have a wired doorbell. I purchased a ring wired doorbell. I know where the chime is, I installed the ring doorbell as per the instructions and got a notification: “ Upgrade to a Ring Hardwired Transformer or Plug-In Adapter, or install a doorbell transformer that meets the requirements for your Ring doorbell. “ I came to KZitem and found your video and in a rush posted that question thinking you might know if a home built in that era might utilize a transformer or not. My mistake.

It's not a mistake to think that I might know, I just didn't have enough information from your first question. The transformer for homes in that age would typically be in one of two locations. First in the mechanical room, or the heater closet. It might be located right between the water heater and the heater. If it is there most of the time is was mounted right on top of the on/off switch for the heater. The second place would be the attic. Many times if it is in the attic it would just be screwed to a random support. Hope that helps at least a little.
