I just purchased a new Wyze Doorbell v2 and it’s working great. The only issue I’m having is with the chime box. Before I switched it, everything was working as expected, no issues at all. Post install, only the hammer on the right is activating when the doorbell is pressed and very, very lightly to…

I had to zoom out your photo to read the numbers. The transformer is way under minimum for use with the v2. You need to replace it. Recommend an Amazon replacement in the 16 - 24 / 30 - 40 range. The price difference is negligible. They are easily replaced, especially since you have a breaker/fuse t…

Thank you for the picture reference, yes I see that it’s located to the left of my fuse box. [20241215_095342] -Pyro

BTW, a transformer is a tranformer is a transformer if you get that meaning. They are basically neutral for application purposes.

Thank you for the suggestion! After knowing what a transformer actually is, I do see it’s below the minimum spec advertised by way is 16-24V so that’s my bad I guess. I live in a townhouse development so I can’t go switching out the electrical units without permission, but assuming I can’t, is there…

[image] WildPyro: Would the alternate wiring help me at all? Maybe swapping the two black wires? I would skip those suggestions at this point, because I don’t think they’ll get you anything. The main issue for you right now is likely power, and I think that would explain the abnormal perform…

Even with the arrows pointing to terminal combinations on a tri-volt transformer, I always have concerns about a novice trying to make the appropriate connections. The 8/10 combo would be totally disregarded on that transformer. BTW, another great detailed commentary.

Thanks. I think the concern you expressed is totally valid. These things seem pretty straightforward when you have a little experience, but for someone who hasn’t done this kind of DIY stuff before, it can be a lot to process. A single-voltage 2-terminal transformer would definitely be simpler. …

I think I might have to take your advice and upgrade my transformer. Aside from the chime sound being very weak, it seems like my v2 doorbell is disconnecting every few minutes or so. I just installed a floodlight v2 to upgrade my old v1 and it’s doing the same thing… This townhouse just doesn’t pro…

Interestingly, my Nutone mechanical chime has no rating in the chime box which is why the 24/40 transformer probably worked. It was only $15 on Amazon with prime next day delivery. It has been in operation for 2 years and transitioned to the duo doorbell with th db v2 wired in controllers. Honestly,…

[image] WildPyro: I just installed a floodlight v2 to upgrade my old v1 and it’s doing the same thing… This townhouse just doesn’t provide enough power. That seems like a separate issue entirely. I don’t think it’s a matter of power in your townhouse, because the Cam Floodlight v2 would be w…

@WildPyro - There are most likely 3 wires on the back side of the existing transformer that you don’t see. The new transformer will have those 3 wires and they get connected inside the fuse/breaker panel, unless the connection is at a junction box. This is where some knowledge is necessary because y…

Not according to the Help Center, but if you know what you’re doing apparently it’s possible to make it work even with “incompatible” chimes.
