Bought for use with RING WiFi doorbell.Despite comments here suggesting otherwise, this unit works perfectly with a Ring WiFi doorbell and as well as providing a sounder inside the house (the Ring doorbell itself also chimes) this provides a hard wired solution to keeping the doorbell charged up, and therefore eliminating the need to keep removing to charge it via USB.My purchase came without any instructions which I feel is a bit poor for an electrical item that does require electrical wiring connection however simple. I attach a copy of the instructions that I found online in case anyone else needs this. The key bit is that the doorbell wire needs to be connected to terminals 0 and 2 ,

Like others I installed this to keep my RING doorbell charged and to provide an internal chime. It has been working hassle free for 12months just as you'd expect. However for some strange reason 2 weeks into it's second year it has stopped chiming. Using a volt meter I can test that it still has power and that the ring doorbell is still receiving power from the transformer but on inspection it looks like one end of the hammers that hits the chimes is missing and possibly the spring that makes the hammer hit both bars has broken as there's no resistance. You could say at this price I was lucky to get 12 months. Originally wasn't happy 2 stars.ADDED: Reviewed the product description and noted it came with a 2 year guarantee.

Having bought two different types of Hard Wired Bell Units over a period of 3 years, top brand names as well, both failed early within the 13/14 months for one reason or another.I purchased this Byron 230V hard wired wall unit for my mothers house more than a year ago and it's still working 100%.So because I was installing the new Ring Video Door Bell system and I wanted it hard wired, I had to look not only for reliability but a reliable built in transformer. This Byron 230V ticks all the boxes. The main wall unit has space internally for any upgrades you may want or require for the new Ring Video Door Bell or Pro. The transformer within the unit can be easily replaced in the unfortunate event that it fails,

I didn't like taking the battery out of my Ring doorbell to recharge it every few months so decided to hardwire it. I bought this Byron doorbell chime as it was recommended that it works with the Ring doorbell and has a built-in transformer. I took a feed from a porch light into the transformer and then a feed to the Ring doorbell. I also took a feed to another buzzer at the back of my house. The Byron chime now trickle charges the Ring doorbell. I had a Ring chime which I had loads of problems with, particularly connection to my Wifi, but I now no longer need that. The chime is loud and has a classic ding-dong chime. I was so impressed with it,

I bought this as the model is listed by Ring as a compatible product for their video doorbell. It works well and keeps the Ring at about 90% power constantly. Nice loud “ding dong” when you press the button on the Ring. Fitting - a little bit of a faff but mostly down to the Ring. You need a suitable mains cable and power supply - I used 0.75mm 3A lighting flex fitted with a standard mains plug with a 3A fuse fitted. I used the same wire to connect the Ring to the bell unit. There are no cable entry points on this product you have to make your own. I wanted a wire-free finish so brought the two cables in from behind the unit - there is plenty of room to get the cables through the casing either from behind or through top or bottom.

Product arrived yesterday, and I installed it today in around one hour. I had trouble because the mains wiring and doorbell wiring was taped together by the previous installer, and I had to split this and cut back plasterboard to get the existing wiring in the right place. The instructions are very simple. You wire in the neutral and live wires at the bottom of the unit as shown, and the bell push wires at the top, in contacts referenced as '0' and '2'. I screwed the new bell box to the wall, wired it up as shown (remember to cut the mains to the existing doorbell, if relevant, before starting) and it worked the first time. The ding dong sound is a bit faster than I was expecting,

First one arrived faulty, but this is why we order from Amazon - replacement was dispatched on the same day I reported the problem and the old one has been popped in an Amazon locker today. I am always impressed by this service!As others have commented, I bought this to act as an internal sounder for a Ring doorbell - it's much cheaper than their wireless version, keeps it charged and enables live view.Please look at the wiring diagram carefully, as another reviewer pointed out, it seems from the text that the mains input is not worried about the polarity - this is not true, but you can only see in the diagram - also the bell wire is attached to 2 points diagonally across from each other,

Easy to fit, like many others I got this to power and chime with my Ring Doorbell 2.Just wanted to mention a few things other reviews don't:Powers the doorbell and charges it perfectly.Chime works as soon as you press the Ring DoorbellUnlike the Ring itself you can repeatedly press the button to ring the chime.Output is around 14V but that's without load, around the 8V mark with the Ring connected.Nice and loud, sounds much better with the cover on.Small channels at the back to run cables up or down.Looks good but in my opion not as good as the Delt Doorbell it replaced but that one isn't compatible.Only been fitted for a day so will see how good it is in the long run.

The transformer output is 8V 1A AC and you can use a standard cable with a plug on the end to easily connect the Byron bell to the mains.Then you can connect the Ring Video Doorbell to the Byron bell using some bell wire (8 metres of it in my case) and bingo, your Ring Doorbell is hard wired. I tested it using the full 25m of bell wire I had and it powered the Ring bell without any issues too. The Byron bell has no cable entry point for a standard cable so you'll need to make one.Over all it's a great classic doorbell on its own and it's ideal to hard wire a Ring Video Doorbell (1st generation).

Refurbished house, went with a wireless system and then found it kept on failing. So went old tech, back to wires.downside - I needed to get my own power cable. No problem as I had one.connections for the bell push are fiddly but workable.Needs a wired bell push and a connection cable, bought separately. That was biggest problem during installation. get a decent bell push.Upside, good ring inside house, wall mounted out of the way and managed to hide all wires. No batteries, no maintenance.note will not work with video buttons such as Nest, power rating is too low.

Good price, easy to set up. I bought this to go with my Ring video doorbell, as it was recommended for this purpose by other reviewers. Connecting the Ring up to this door chime, with it's built-in transformer, makes Live View video possible and saves having to worry about frequently needing to recharge the battery. All works as it should - very nice indeed. As far as this door chime is concerned, the installation was easy and it works. It's a little loud, as another reviewer mentioned, but I'll find a way to subdue this a little with some padding. Thoroughly recommended.

Bought this to power my ring doorbell (NOT the pro version). I can confirm that it does this very well. I have two set up in the house - both chime nicely with an old fashioned 'ding dong'. My ring doorbell is constantly powered at around 98% and has a nice white glowing light during the night time.Small and unobtrusive box which would suit most decors. Would recommend especially if needing something to work with the ring doorbell (this has a built in transformer so just need to connect to mains power and then the output wire to the ring doorbell.).

I bought this to provide power for the Ring Chime. It works really well and was easy to install. In fact, after turning off the mains, I removed a mains plug fairly close to the front door and replaced it with the Byron 776. From there it was a simple task to run some bell cable along the skirting board and up the door frame to the Chime. Because of the built-in transformer, it provides the required power and lights up the button as well as ringing in sync (actually a second before) the Chime.This is highly recommended and is an excellent price.

I bought this to use with a Ring Pro doorbell after failing with the Honeywell DW313S (despite being on Ring's list of compatible devices, they tell me it's not compatible -- they're looking to update the website).I removed the transformer just to keep things as simple as possible (although it was entirely unnecessary). I wired it as follows:0 = Ring Pro (top left)1 = unused (top right)2 = Ring Pro / Transformer (bottom right)3 = Transformer (bottom left)If you're wondering, yes, 2 wires go into terminal 2.

I bought this as I needed a replacement door chime that was compatible with my 'Ring Video Door Bell 2'. This chime is recommended by Ring as compatible. I was skeptical as to whether it would work due to the product description stating that it's DC and the Ring requirements saying it would only work with AC (along with other negative reviews regard compatibility). However, it works great - it chimes with my Ring and charges it without issues. I can only guess that the product description is incorrect.
