Description

If you need to replaceyour current doorbell, you might be able to mount your Nest Doorbell over the old doorbell button’s location. However, you might need to drill a new hole or remove the current doorbell wires and drill out the existing hole so that the power adaptor’s cable can pass through the wall. As our unit has the transformer built in all that was needed was to run a live feed from the existing circuit down and connect it to the transformer in the chime unit. As mentioned above, where the push button units are hard wired to the chime as their power source, this needs to be done via a transformer to reduce the power to the push button to a safe amount so that it can be used in and around the home or externally. In the majority of cases this will be around 12V but sometimes much less (around 2V). The first job is to find a suitable location for your push button to go. In most cases this will be at either side of your front door, or the door you are installing your doorbell for. When it comes to advantages and disadvantages, as you can see there are quite a few advantages of these systems and on the whole not really any disadvantages, other than the battery issues already discussed above.

Transformer: The transformer is a key part of a mains-wired doorbell system. As the push button is located outside a property and subjected to all manner of weather, running it at mains 240v would present a huge danger to anyone pressing it. The transformer reduces mains power from 240v down to a much safer 12v or even less, making the unit safe for visitors to press In pretty much all cases, with the wireless hard wired units, the push button unit relies on batteries for its power. Once both the cables have been run in place the chime unit can then be fixed in place on the wall. Before firmly fixing ensure both sets of cables are pulled through into the inside of the unit where they will need to be so that they can be connected up. With the consumer unit transformers they are simply slipped on to the din bar and then wired up by a professional Part P qualified electrician as any MCB would be. Doorbell cable is then used to run to the chime unit and push button from the transformer. If you don’t have a doorbell, install your doorbell about 1.2 m(4 ft) high,where most doorbells are located.

Note: The steps in this article are different from the steps to install the Nest Doorbell in the app. So, youneed to skip some steps in the app and follow them here instead. What youneed for installation With the push button in place the next job is to find a suitable location for your chime unit. In most cases this will need to be installed in a fairly central location in the home so that it can be heard by anyone in the home, regardless of what room they may be in. You may be thinking; how do you know some one is competent? Well, this simply means that they are Part P registered and due to this will have received all of the necessary training to complete everything as it should be. As the unit being used here has the transformer built into the chime all that was needed was to take a feed from an existing circuit and run it to the chime unit. Step 4 – Fix Transformer In Place The Nest Doorbell (battery) already comes with a wedge that you can use to adjust the doorbell’s camera angle if it’s located in a corner. Thewedge can angle your doorbell horizontally up to 20°.

If your home doesn’t have a doorbell, or if your current doorbell system is incompatible with Nest doorbells, you can use an Indoor Power Adapter to installa Nest doorbell instead. Once it’s plugged in, your Nest Doorbell should turn on, and its light ring should turn blue. Troubleshooting Another very useful feature is that most smart systems also have a built-in microphone and speaker meaning that 2-way communication with the person standing on your door step is also possible. This is particularly useful if you are away from your property. Pop the cover off of the chime unit and position it in your chosen install location and level it up using a spirit level. Mark each of the fixing points on the rear and then remove it.Once marked drill a small pilot hole and then screw the push button in place. Not fully as yet as we will need to remove it to wire it up. Step 2 – Find Location and Fix Chime Unit The next job then is to connect up the live feed to the transformer from the existing circuit. Before any work was carried out, the electrician doing the job isolated the circuit we were taking a feed from by turning it off in the consumer unit and then testing that the circuit was indeed fully isolated! With separate transformer units, these are very often installed on or around the junction box used to take a power feed. The power feed is taken out of the junction box and then live, neutral and earth are connected into the transformer and the chime and push button units are then wired into the transformer.

There are 3 main parts to a standard wired doorbell system; the chime unit, the transformer and the push button unit.

However if you are installing a wireless unit, this will only require batteries and can be installed by anyone. The doorbell wire is then neatly run up the door frame and up to the chime unit where it is connected to the transformer as instructed by the manufacturer in the instructions included with the kit. Additionally one of the major disadvantages with wireless units is the fact that they rely on batteries and as we all know, batteries run out! One of the main gripes that people have is that the batteries for either the chime/control unit run out and you may not notice this until you try in yourself or someone tells you. Once everything was successfully connected up the front cover for the chime unit was placed on and the junction box front cover was also screwed in place.

In general, wireless units do tend to be a little more expensive than wired units mainly due to the fact they are easier to install as with mains supplied units you do need a qualified electrician to install them. Once the hole is drilled, place the push button over it so the wire hole in the rear of the push button is over the hole you just drilled. Mark each fixing hole for the push button on the door frame using a pencil or 2mm drill bit if you can’t get a pencil through each hole. The push button cable was then run up through the hole as the electrical supply cable and then over and down through another hole near to where it will exit through the door frame. In this case an existing ceiling hole close to where the push button was to be installed was used. The app shouldtry to look for nearby devices. If prompted, select the Nest Doorbell (battery) as the device that you want to set up.For full help and advice on how to use a junction box and wire one up, see our project here. Step 6 – Turn on Power and Test In terms of wired door bells there are also a few different types – those that are hard wired to a mains electric supply to draw their power with the push button mechanism also hardwired to the control or chime unit via a transformer and those that have their control/chime units hard wired to the mains but their push button units are wireless. If you already have a Nest product installed in your home, your doorbell shouldtry to get your Wi-Fi info from it. Try to moveit closer to your doorbell if possible, or temporarily uninstall your doorbell and plug it in closer to the assisting product while you try to connectto Wi-Fi again.
