Should be ok. Is there three out ports on it? One for each voltage? If so you need to be on 24v

I need to upgrade my transformer, only 12v.
Are there brick and mortar shops that sell them anywhere in Dublin?

It really depend. You need wires to the doorbell. Where is your fuse box in relation to your door etc

Should be handy enough so. Drilling involved obviously but at least not long runs

While owned by Google they are operated as a separate business.. Google are folding them back under their fold though.. Now if they would just get us firmware for the stats so the temp sensors work before the winter

So they can tell outside temp?

No the idea is you place them in different rooms and you can give priority to them. So if your nest thermostat is in warm place but you have a cold bedroom etc you put the sensor in the colder room..

I’ve a question for ye all on the transformer size. Do the new ones fit in where the old one was easy enough and are you able to fit cover back on?

This is mine at the min.

That's the door chime? Yeah the extension bit fitted inside our housing grand. The transformer we had was old one. New one was fitted to circuit breaker board

Normally the transformer is fitted in the fuse board and it just clips out and the replacement clips in.

Your one is a bit different in that the transformer is included in the bell housing.

Also be careful as the brown wire on the bottom left may have an exposed live conductor. Hard to be clear from the picture.

It might be best to get it done professionally.

Have the nest on order, would this work as a replacement to the transformer? 8-24V with 8VA on the screwfix uk site. I take it it is just a matter of replacing the 8v unit in the mcb box? , not a bad price either £8.95...

All doorbells use a transformer. Most traditional ones are 8 to 12 volts. The hello needs 16 to 24

More than likely to work. I ordered one from Amazon that matched the spec 24 volts 10va. They don't seem that common. Was twice the price. Asked electrian and he says regular one should work.. I had loads of time to wait so ordered the amazon one..

i thin it depends on what transformer you have, most here (&mine) seem to be 8v, which will need replacing ,even on the eu version. you can check here https://nest.com/ie/doorbell/nest-hello/overview/#doorbell-works

Thanks, do you have a link to the one you ordered?

I'm putting this in a new build house once it arrives. Electrician has the doorbell chime box (not sure what the technical term for that is..) already installed in the hall, just need the doorbell (and transformer now..).

My electrician is on the case with the transformer. He was saying he had issues before with the chime for the Ring doorbell though. Does the chime work for ye?
