I tried to use a wireless doorbell for landed house, but it failed miserably.

Not due to waterproof issue.

I sealed the button press unit with glue and it is waterproof as far as I can see.

But the problem I had was the battery. After using for a while, the dry cell voltage got out of operating range for the remote. I suspect it's due hot sun, the battery loses too much liquid and therefore the circuitory refused to work. When I open up the remote unit and change the battery, it works again. Multimeter the battery shows the voltage too high. It's not a case of voltage too low.

Interesting...thus far I have not encountered any problem with cheapo wireless door bell (RM30). Obviously, the battery need to be changed from 3-6 months time (depending brand).

I think I decided not to put a doorbell. Mine is hardwired. Push switch is already in place. Wiring for the doorbell also in place. The problem is I cant find a wired doorbell that is not the two tone "ding dong" type.....

anyway mine is an apartment. I should not have anyone ringing my doorbell since nobody can come up anyway.

legrand bell vs door bell, what's the difference ? Is it legrand bell a door bell too ?

Why you consider door bell a "hassle" ?

legrand is a brand of door bell.

door bell is not a hassle but it become a hassle for some ppl here

Guys..

My door bell wiring system as follows:

Bell (inside) - 2 red 2 black 1 green 2 naked wires
Switch (outside) - 1 red 1 black 2 naked wires (red and black are wired to the switch)
Door chime - built in transformer. 2 port for switch & 2 port for 220v

Can you please assist me on installing this wired door chime?

If your house is land property and the switch is outside, do not use this type. You have to get the 4 wire type.

This type will connect the 240v to the switch. Which is dangerous.

If for condo, than connect as follow
[attachmentid=3754562]

240v is dangerous but switch is not 240v, we based it on 6A. power socket is 20A. Hence, 6A is like ant bite

I don't care the switch is 20A or 100A. It is not important.

What I care is the safety. When 240v with outdoor, makesure it waterproof, weatherproof or whatever proof. To makesure it don't kill you.

Safety first.

u still dont get it. dont u.

240v is dangerous but switch is not 240v, we based it on 6A. power socket is 20A. Hence, 6A is like ant bite

You try 240v 6A, see got ant bite. even 1A of 240 enough to kill you. 240v AC with small amount of Amp will be enough to kill you. even with 0.5A

My condo already have the switch outside for doorbell but no bell inside. The wiring for bell has 5 wires. 3 blue, 1 green, and 1 black. From post here, there are only 4 points for doorbell. So which extra wire i dont connect or should i get doorbell with 5 wires? Thanks in advance.

sorry to bump old thread as i have the same question.
This is my current door bell.

it's spoil, and I wish to ask whether I can replace with this one from taobao?

If yes, whats the correct way to wire it?
Thanks all!!

Can. But not advice. Cause the outdoor switch will running on high voltage. Which probably the switch not waterproof.

Get back the original wiring.

after moving here two years ago, i like to report that i still dont have a doorbell
