Product Information

If you don’t have a doorbell, install your doorbell about 1.2 m(4 ft) high,where most doorbells are located. If you are plugging the transformer in, then a 3A fuse in the plug is needed. The cable from the plug to the transformer needs to be able to carry 3amp, so anything 0.75mm² or larger will be fine. eg such as that used for a table lamp. Once your doorbell is connected to Wi-Fi and the app, the app shouldtest the video. 3. Turn the chime off and test Once the ceiling hole is drilled both the electrical supply cable and the push button cable can be run up through the ceiling. Once pushed up in place the electrical supply cable can then run over to the location where it will be connected to an existing lighting circuit or electrical feed up in the loft or in the ceiling. Note: If you have more than one home in your account, make sure that you’ve first selected the Nest home where you want to install your doorbell.

Push Button: The push button unit is the part of the system that allows visitors to sound the door chime in the chime unit. Normally located next to an entry door, a visitor would press the button, which would then sound the chime and notify residents that there is someone at the door. They are either wired to the chime unit via a transformer or are wireless with their own onboard power normally supplied by batteries. Again they are available in a range of different styles to suit most homesWith the push button in place the next job is to find a suitable location for your chime unit. In most cases this will need to be installed in a fairly central location in the home so that it can be heard by anyone in the home, regardless of what room they may be in. However if you are installing a wireless unit, this will only require batteries and can be installed by anyone. In general, wireless units do tend to be a little more expensive than wired units mainly due to the fact they are easier to install as with mains supplied units you do need a qualified electrician to install them.

For full help and advice on how to use a junction box and wire one up, see our project here. Step 6 – Turn on Power and Test For the purposes of this guide we are going to run through the steps that are involved in installing a mains-fed door bell system. If your home doesn’t have a doorbell, or if your current doorbell system is incompatible with Nest doorbells, you can use an Indoor Power Adapter to installa Nest doorbell instead. If you already have a Nest product installed in your home, your doorbell shouldtry to get your Wi-Fi info from it. Try to moveit closer to your doorbell if possible, or temporarily uninstall your doorbell and plug it in closer to the assisting product while you try to connectto Wi-Fi again.

Another very useful feature is that most smart systems also have a built-in microphone and speaker meaning that 2-way communication with the person standing on your door step is also possible. This is particularly useful if you are away from your property.Additionally one of the major disadvantages with wireless units is the fact that they rely on batteries and as we all know, batteries run out! One of the main gripes that people have is that the batteries for either the chime/control unit run out and you may not notice this until you try in yourself or someone tells you. The first job is to find a suitable location for your push button to go. In most cases this will be at either side of your front door, or the door you are installing your doorbell for. As our unit has the transformer built in all that was needed was to run a live feed from the existing circuit down and connect it to the transformer in the chime unit.

Drill pilot holes for the screws with a 2 mm(3/32") drill bit. Use the included masonry bit and wall anchors if you need to drillinto stone, stuccoor other hard materials. All mains wired systems will have these 3 main components, while wireless units (wireless push button) systems won’t have a transformer as they are not needed. As we are installing in a bungalow in this instance access via the loft area is easy. However if you are installing in a house then access down from the first floor will involve pulling up floorboards, unless you want to run trunking between each floor and up to the loft space, but this can look untidy.

Use the included USB-C cable to fully charge your doorbell for battery-powered installation. Keep it plugged in during setup so that it can connect to the app and the Wi-Fi network. Old thread but I have just bought a Ring Doorbell Wired and Byron 776 to do the same thing as in the video. The Byron chime is powered, it works with a standard bell button, but when connected to the Ring, the chime won't work. As mentioned above as we are using a unit with the transform integrated into the chime we don’t need a separate transformer, however in some cases the transformer comes as an individual unit that is either installed next to the junction box or power source or as a unit that installs within a consumer unit on the Din bar along with existing MCB’s and RCD’s.
