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.

after moving here two years ago, i like to report that i still dont have a doorbell
cant find one that plays star trek intercom beep

got lah but i too lazy to mess with it. in china (from aliexpress, etc) can find those wav/mp3 doorbell. then you put your own file in it, tada....
but problem is my wiring is 240V, need to think about where to put the transformer etc

I dont mind something like this - I want only the mechanism to pull the bell. I dont want the bell. I want to use my wind chimes and attach to the puller/control unit
Any ideas? like some kind of servo

I wait a few more years then complain

heaven is a good place
btw my doorbell wires are still there hanging out from the wall. (3 years already moved in)

Ya not using the wires but still left hanging there kena scold by boss everyday 😭
One day I will convert to 3 pin socket. Already bought the box and socket but lazy to do.

The wires are hanging out from my indoor wall.
I think maybe got Earth wire

Dowan. Too high. Cannot reset the light. Next time maybe install for Wi-Fi

I win 👆🏻😅

Di mana you jumpa dua wayar ni?
Di dalam rumah atau luar?

I think you bought the correct doorbell
Now you got to find which wire goes to where - you got 5 wires inside your house
L, N, E and two wires from the push switch.

i cant see properly but at the wall there i think 3 black, 1 red, 1 green?
first isolate the Live. You said Red is Live which seems weird to me because your switch got 1 red and 1 black. How did you determine it as Live?

I think this case only ozak can help you. I suggest you take a picture of the doorbell and post here as well so he can tell you which wire connect where

not as reliable as hard wired ones
for condo ok lah, for landed props - better to use wired door bells.
wiring problems only surface when you try to DIY. If you know how or willing to hire someone to do it then no wiring problems.

both got pros and cons

One thing good about wireless - they are cheap to replace
