This is the second home in which ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).
I am a professional doorbell installer now!!! Thank you so much for this video!! Your video totally made this so simple!!! 1st time trying and success!!
Can someone please explain to me how a doorbell button's light can be *powered* (like the one shown above) when there is only a hot wire (no neutral) feeding into and out of it? I know it works, but can't wrap my head around why. TIA
Yes, exactly. I found lots of complicated diagrams before finding this. Got my old doorbell re-installed and working with my new Ring doorbell with a good visual from this.
My chime plays a tune but as soon as the button is released the tune stops. How can you allow the tune to finish without holding the button down? Thanks
I have four wires, two white, two red coming from the wall. One of each is live/hot, the whites are twisted together and capped-off, and the reds are on "trans" (live/hot), and "front", and I only have a front doorbell. I've installed a doorbell camera and a 24V/40VA transformer, but now the chime inside does not ring. I'm wondering if the chime is not getting enough power because of the draw from the new camera/bell which requires 24V, and may be hogging all the current. Question: if I attach the live/hot white wire (which I assume is for a rear doorbell(?) ) along with the live/hot red wire to the "trans" screw will that provide more power to the chime?
You move the "rear" wire to the "front" screw. If you have two doorbells, the rear dings, the front ding-dongs. If you only have the front bell, the wires should be on "front" and "trans" only.
I have 2 door bell buttons (1 front, 1 rear and 2 chimes) in the front door bell chime box are 4 red and 4 white wires and 1 Green attached to the Rear screw. The rear chime terminal box has 3 wires, 1 Red attached to Trans, 1 Green attached to Rear & 1 White attached to Front. How do I wire the wires in the front chime box?
What gauge blue wire are you using? Doorbell wire I have purchased is white and red together. Do I separate the white and red and wire them like you have with using your blue wire?
I purchased an Utilitech transformer (#0063548) that has three voltage settings (8V, 16V, & 24V) to replace a Nutone C905 transformer with one voltage setting (16V) for my doorbell. No matter what setting I put them on, both transformers only produce just over 4 volts when they are tested with my volt meter. I'm assuming something is screwy with the power source leading to the receptacle. Also, there's another wire leading out of the receptacle, but I have no idea what it leads too. Can you give me some advice on what possibly could be the reason why my transformers are not producing the correct voltage??? Supposedly, per the electrician who wired my townhouse, 120 volts is coming off the voltage source leading to the receptacle. He wants to charge me $120 to replace the transformer plus the cost of a new transformer. It sounds like the electrician has a real good extra moneymaking scheme going on here, especially with people who are replacing low voltage devices that require a little more voltage that the original device.
I'm planning to install a similar kind of a button but need some check how to wire it. It is Ulincos Momentary Push Button Switch U19D1 1NO @ Amazon. Can I use this one in your set up? Thank you
If you making new wiring this video is very helpful, but if you going to change old unit, you will see four wires out from the wall and when you connect them to Unitech unit it start making continuous sound zzzzzzz... If push button, unit makes right sound and then again - zzzzzzzz

Thank you for getting to the point, unlike some of these other ridiculous elongated productions that take forever to say the same thing.
The simple and clear explanation. You are the best. Thanks.
Thanks for keeping it simple and easy to follow!!

Hmm, dunno but maybe like the old-fashioned cheapo-Xmas-tree light bulbs connected in series?
Thank you for the simple video, I took my doorbell down prior to remodeling and this helped me re-connect it in no time!
That was the best and simplest explanation yet! Thanks so much
Yes, exactly. I found lots of complicated diagrams before finding this. Got my old doorbell re-installed and working with my new Ring doorbell with a good visual from this.
Thank you. Best diy online.
I have this same chime. How do you make it "ding-dong" rather than just "ding"? Thanks.
Simple and too the point thank you Buy is there a positive and negative? If so which one is which
Si the best explain ,never see ,tanks sr God bless yo you and familia grettins desde México..
I have unmarked wired by the bell and front door , all unmarked
Does it matter which wires go into front and trans ?
I agree - straight forward - no nonsense - thank you very much!
Simple in clear English. ..
Love it! Quick and right to the point! Thank you for this post!!!

I bought a ring doorbell with the security video and i wanted to know from you if there is a way for me to turn off my indoor door bell chime?
I have 2 door bell buttons (1 front, 1 rear and 2 chimes) in the front door bell chime box are 4 red and 4 white wires and 1 Green attached to the Rear screw.

What model is that doorbell? I have the same one and am trying to figure it out.

Hooked up a wired Musical Carlon wth 30 tunes .Followed their diagram on package but it will still only do the ding-dong.
Great video
My doorbell did not come with a transformer. CAN I still supply it with 120v and would it work properly?
No
@@irmadominguez6477 ...not a good idea if it's only meant to operate with batteries.
very helpful!! BUT,still don't get it, it be more help if you could pop over!!!
I am not a "techie" person......
And then run to circuit breaker?
...especially if you smell smoke from a shorted out transformer hidden somewhere by a cheapskate contractor.
Thanks sir

How the hell are we supposed to know the hot wire.
Red
Cold!? Dude come on. That's the Neutral. Which can still carry voltage. Don't give people the wrong idea.

Is it still ringing after 8 months?
@@Unicorns sure hope the transformer didn't short out in the wall and burn up the place...
