QUOTE(ozak @ May 11 2021, 11:22 AM) Since it is already wiring, it would be headache to rewiring again. 2 option to solve the problem I can think of. Option 1. Take away the L wire from the DB and extend it to the doorbell. Now the 2 yellow wire can join to the low voltage transformer side of door bell and the switch. (safe) Wire another L (240v) to the doorbell main side. This can use back your purchase door bell.  Option 2. Get a wireless door bell with come the remote switch that run on battery. (Some new doorbell even don't need a battery for the remote switch) Join the 2 yellow wire in the outdoor hub. Makesure the join doesn't expose to water. Now the internal yellow wire is L. Join the wire to the door bell.  Both are safe to use the switch. Great suggestions. Thanks!👍 Hopefully there are no misaligned/disconnected conduit pipes then..😖😖 This post has been edited by drew86: May 11 2021, 12:15 PM |

QUOTE(chyanjiun @ Jul 6 2021, 03:09 PM) Hi All Sifu, may I know how I going to install this door bell as per pic attached. Thank q very much.  the power goes in the top two terminals as per Fig 2 and the switch wires go in the middle two terminals.  identification of the switch wire colours as a rough guide can be done by turning off whole DB box and opening the doorbell switch. use a test pen to figure out which is the live wire for the power side.

(pic 2) I only can guess the switch outside wire should be both yellow. Judging from the 2nd pic. You need multimeter to confirm the wiring. Or get an electrician to help you.

I am shocked all of you are not aware that there is already a WIRELESS door bell and it does NOT use any battery or house electricity for the Transmitter!.
Stick the wireless Transmitter on the house gate pillar.... and plug in the receiver into your wall 3 pin power point.
No need to drill anything at all. How come you all dont know this??

You are assuming everyone has same house or requirement like you??? First many houses have door bell wiring built in so it is easier to just get the wired set up. Moreover wired door bells are far more reliable than wireless ones especially for houses with a lot of glass or signal absorbing materials. Second, does your wireless door bell has illumination at night? Some people may want that and this requires power. |

Hi sifus, I want to ask about the doorbell switch on the outside. I want it to be like when I press, my Apple Home will detect the press and open live feed, which means the switch needs to be smart.
My question is, can I just replace the switch with any smart switch and then add weatherproofing? (My guess is no because of the amps maybe but thats why im asking).
If not, got any recommendations to make the doorbell switch a smart switch? (like add wifi module)
