Those WAGO connectors work really well ~ You need to open the internal clamp by pulling back the orange lever into the vertical position, insert the stripped wire end the press the lever back to its original position ~ Great connection made!!
Were you able to stop from ringing on the home 2 base ? I will like it to just ring normally if I’m going to install it wired. Thank you for making this video
Lol. Those connectors that didn't work really do work. You need to lift the little orange levers all the way up so that they are at a 90 degrees angle to the connector, then insert the wire and push the orange lever down flat again. They are really stiff to prise all the way up and back down again.
If I have a battery-powered doorbell and I connect the doorbell to a transformer, does it charge the battery or does it just switch automatically to the wire? thanks
Thanks for the video, very useful. Apologies if this is obvious, but what does the resistor bring to the party? I'm planning on doing a very similar installation. If the transformer is bringing the voltage down I'm struggling to see what the resistor is for? Cheers
Thanks for the video. I have a 8V AC transformater already installed and connected to the Eufy. The app shows a charging symbol, but after a few days the battery drains from 100% to 90%. Are 8V to low? I cant a data sheet from Eufy. Thank you.
Not sure about the voltage. But think of it this way... you are replicating a cell phone battery charger by putting the transformer plus resistor in the circuit. I am not sure if only 8v is enough after the resistor. But then again, a quick survey of cell battery chargers show 5v, 2 amps.
@@kjones60625 Thanks for your response. I also heard, that the battery will only start to charge when it is below 60% SOC. Can you confirm this? Thank you and merry christmas from Germany.
@IngobertHolz: Could you please share your experience with an 8V AC transformer? I have that as well and I am considering to buy a Eufy 2k doorbell (T8210). I saw at timestamp 8:31, at the back of the bell says "input 1 is 8-24v (from doorbell wires). I assume it should be sufficient, but I would like to hear from an existing user of the doorbell.
You need to open the Wago connector, lift the orange lever 90 degrees its not easy, and that's for good reason, so when its closed it does not just fall out after.
Hi, i got a doorbell with transformer installed. It gives 6v output only. Can I step it up to 12v? Or shall I remove the transformer and put new 12v one? Or it’s better to buy new doorbell with 12v transformer installed?
6 volts is too low to adequately charge a video doorbell. The optional Wasserstein Solar Panel only puts out 12v which is barely enough to trickle charge. Eufy recommends 8v to 24v max but 8v is way too low. I suggest a 16v to 24v transformer like this one. amzn.to/3nIjHN7
First of all thank you so much for your detailed video. I do have a quick question / issue on Homebase2 connection to my router. I do have tp-link Deco X20 mesh system, when I try to connect my homebase2 with the internet , it has blue blinking light only and then I could see error message "Network Exception, please try again later." With an error screen titled "Unable to add HoemBase2". Could you please help me out? I tried everything reset, unplug power cable, router restart, reset button on homebase2 but it just keep blinking blue led.Help would be highly appreciated 🙏🏼
Wow, so easy in US to drill everywhere, but in UK most old/new buildings are Concrete/brick, that's why brits are so stubborn :) My guess- I'm from europe

what if there is no bell wire in your house like mine?
hm... if no wire.... than use it as its supposed to ... wireless.

Agree, curious about this as well
I did my installation without using the resistor. It works without problem at all.
I think it's for EOLR (End of line Resistor) that helps to troubleshoot if something happens to the circuit or if cables are disconnected.
Is this still compatible with HomeKit after hardwiring?
Hi! Thanks for the video!
Is the resister really needed for the hardwired installation or can you do it without it?
It is needed if you don't have chimes wired inside.

You need 18v. 8v is too low
AC or DC
So 18v what about amp's ?

THE BIG QUESTION IS if my door phone in NOT AC will it work from say 12v DC ? Most aussie door phones and bells use DC
Has to be AC. I'm in Melbourne and connected it to my old doorbell wires and works fine, so I must have AC
Anyone knows the size of the connector screws? Thanks😊

You dont need to connected a resistor, Only if your transformer output is greater than 24v
This model still doesn't have the 3 second preroll feature though.

The "wired " model doesn't come with homebase.
You talk so slow
This didn't age well...
Why? Care to elaborate.

Don't judge- really love UK and have no "beef" apart from double taps on sinks...
