QUOTE(Unbelievableme @ Sep 1 2015, 11:11 AM) any wireless doorbell recommended for landed house (waterproof)? 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. |

QUOTE(Unbelievableme @ Sep 1 2015, 02:32 PM) oh ya... battery really is the issue when explore under hot sun. I think we should go for this type---> No baterry Wireless DoorbellNever tried that before. Not sure if it is reliable.  The other thing to consider is the signal range. For landed, the distance between the remote and the receiver is normally much further than a condo unit. |

QUOTE(NelsonBoy @ Sep 1 2015, 11:36 PM) why a hassle buying door bell ? 1) your hse should supply 5 wires , 2 wire ( from outside switch ) 2) 3 wires ( L / N / E ) then u buy legrand bell(build in transformer) . has 4 connection. 2 input for L/N (polarity does not matters here and it is used to convert 240 to 12V dc ) and 2 input for switch ( for connectivity ) legrand bell vs door bell, what's the difference ? Is it legrand bell a door bell too ? Why you consider door bell a "hassle" ? This post has been edited by tmc: Sep 2 2015, 09:02 AM |

QUOTE(VeeJay @ Sep 2 2015, 09:39 AM) 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). Maybe you are right. Could be I happened to use a lousy battery which cannot withstand the heat from the Sun ?  But 3-6 months changing battery, I think it's too often already. This post has been edited by tmc: Sep 2 2015, 09:43 AM |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Sep 2 2015, 11:14 AM) 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. Yeah, really strange that nobody is coming up with wired door bell with electronics which play more choices of sound. For ages, people still stuck with the electro-magnetic ding dong boring design.
