Why you need a timer for your table lamps ? Where you place your table lamps?

There is a weekday weekend timer too in the market.

anyone has experience in smart doorbell like Ring Doorbell Pro? I have recently bought one and Ring said it is compatible in MY. Any ideas of how to connect it? It uses a existing wired doorbell.

has your Ring doorbell arrived? any instructions?
It requires a 16-24 VAC transformer, does it comes with one?
I think our wiring are 240V AC
very interesting, we were talking about it last time

I am still in US but planning to move back and bought a ring doorbell pro.

Yeah MY is 240V AC, however most doorbells don't use 240V AC as it will be dangerous and it only needs a low VAC. So most doorbell has a step down transformer built in.

I was wondering can I just buy a step down transformer and add it to the circuit at the doorbell?

I'm not sure if ring doorbell has a built in transformer, thats why it requires 16-24VAC or a existing doorbell connection.

Any doorbell pros out there to clarify?
