Ring doorbell

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

Hello, just wondering if anyone's ever hardwired an ring doorbell?

i fitted a 24 volt transformer module and just found out I have to add an wirewound resistor I bought from online 25ohm 50 watt

the bell wire runs about 5 meters. I checked and the voltage is around 10 volts

the ring requires between 16-24v.

I have not fitted it yet but will try again

there was no existing bell wire. I ran a new one and I've brought an wirewound resistor it 25 ohms 50 watt. I have to connect that to one leg after the transformer it says
