In this video we show you how to wire a doorbell. This doorbell wiring diagram will work for all doorbells including smart doorbells like the Ring Doorbell: amzn.to/3534ixe and the Nest Hello smart doorbells.
Wiring a smart doorbell is easy. The most important things to do are get a compatible chime: amzn.to/2LHvOZH and a doorbell transformer with enough power like this one: amzn.to/31H6Uit
My favorite smart doorbells are the Ring Pro: amzn.to/2M9HZxb , Nest Hello and Ring 2 Doorbell: amzn.to/30J8NJY
It's important to make good contact with the doorbell wiring terminals and to make sure you turn the power off before you begin work.

After switching out my transformer, I forgot which wires go where, I spent over 45 minutes fiddling with that thing and saw several videos that did not help. This was exactly what I needed! I wish I would've ran into this video first! Thank you so much!

This is the second home in which ru-vid.comUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU we've replaced our "regular" doorbell with a Ring video doorbell and we really enjoy it. It is very easy to install and it works very well, with a clear picture through the app and good in-home use (we added the chime, which is also easy to install and doesn't require another thought to use).

@akarigoshihime3900 2 года назад

Thanks! I know for my class, white needs to be the return wire and black/red can be the supply but this is super simple and helpful! Thank you

@ireneusjustinpolicarp8628 3 года назад

Thanks for a quick and simple explanation. Replaced an 30 yr. old Nutone intercom with a Wyze video doorbell. Looking at your diagram made me realized I would short my system with the fuse supplied with the vid doorbell. Saved by the bell. Pun unintended.

@manchandas6722 3 года назад

Thanks! My door bell was not working. After watching this video, I realized there are two bells inside. I simply moved wire from bell #1 to bell #2 and it’s back in operation. Thanks for the help!

@SamAndrew27 Год назад

Very helpful, thank you! I've been having a heck of a time finding and replacing the old transformer in my 1930s house. Trying to get this new Ring Pro 2 working :)

@tianaguile5516 7 месяцев назад

Omg I love you. All of the men in my life has told me it's broken and completely useless, where we must open multiple walls for rewiring. Appears the actual bell may be dewired and I'd like a new unit, but I really don't think the wiring needs to be redone. I've never seen them wire it like this.

@regthebackyardjackofalltrades Год назад

Thanks. I have recently purchased a Lorex 2K doorbell camera and cannot complete the installation because I cannot find my doorbell chime. I found the transformer which has a current draw. It’s 16.5VAC at the transformer and 1.VAC at the two wires where the doorbell is supposed to be. I’m going to check for shorts in the on the transformer terminal end and both wires. Hopefully I’ll find it.

@suzannemartin8986 Год назад

I have a Nutone and the inside is like this one, except there are four white wires coming out of the top of the black box on the left - the rest of the wires are inside the walls. Which wire goes where?

Hi, Can you hook up the back doorbell too the front doorbell, so when you push the front door doorbell button the back and front will work together at the same time? double the noise! Thanks

@brandonsaunders2823 Год назад

Scratched my head for months why I couldn't get my smart doorbell to work, only to now realise I accidentally unhooked a power line when I brodged them. Thank you

@peroxideguy 2 года назад

All well and good if your chime terminals are clearly labelled. I came here specifically looking how to identify the chime terminals (I have 4 on my chime)

@SurajBhide Год назад

I have a situation where at the transformer the wires are not labeled and I dont know which should be the trans and which should be the front. How do I find out which is which? Would something bad happen if I somehow reversed the wires?

@joegonzales6816 3 года назад

Does it matter if trans on the chime receives a negative or the positive from the transformer.

@03Tiddles 11 месяцев назад

Ok so say your installing 2 lorex smart doorbells. Comes with chime boxes. Do i need to wire one chime to the front and one to the rear?? Both going to trans??

@jaygyver7213 5 месяцев назад

To answer a few questions i've seen, from what I've found out: There is a small circuit/whatever that lets a small amount of voltage thru to light the button, then when you press the button it lets ALL the voltage through. For those of you only seeing a small voltage when using a meter on the button contacts, that is only for the light on the button, you should see the whole 16v or what ever size the transformer is when you press the button, it then completes the circuit to trigger the chime.

@tiggywinkle1000 Год назад

3rd terminal in the chimes is usually n/c and is the 'loop-in'. I fitted my chimes in the middle room; fit bellpush on door. NOW SWITCH OFF MAINS ELEC. SUPPLY - bell transformer (Tx) is by the CU wired with a few inches of 1.0mm T&E to a 1A cartridge fuse holder in a spare fuseway in CU. Then run 1 length of 'figure 8' bellwire from push to chime; 2nd length from Tx to chime. If it's a simple 2-terminal bell, just 'choc. block' each single from the push and Tx or use the 'loop-in' terminal. Other 2 wires go across the chime's supply. If you don't want the chime on for any reason, just pull the 1A fuse or be posh and use an MCB.

@tianaguile5516 7 месяцев назад

I have no idea what you said, but I think it works well.

@Darrekday 3 года назад

So I noticed after watching your video that your chime box was upside down and did that to mine and it works like it should. Are you supposed to install them upside down?

@jinchoe6354 Год назад

I just moved into a new home and the previous owner had a ringdoor bell pro powerkit installed and one wire goes to the front door bell and another to the rear instead of the transformer but it still works. I want to change the door bell chime because it's ancient and not sure if I should move the rear doorbell wire to the transformer screw. And yes there in no rear door bell in house.

@avy323 2 года назад

So I was wondering if you could answer a question. At the chime the wires that I have there are unidentified. Does it matter if the wires are flipped? Will this affect anything?

@qasion 2 года назад

Get this, some weird wiring. Today I installed doorbell, when i went to the chime block to install the chime kit that came with the cam, it's same like the one you showing in this video but 1 wire was terminated to Front terminal, other wire was terminated to Rear terminal, nothing on the Trans terminal. Go figure. Threw me off, so I just wired the same way, and it is working.

@spikeyboy 3 года назад

Is there a way to figure out which wire is which? We took off the box for the doorbell that has the power, front, and back so now I have no idea which wire goes to which.

@SmartyAnn1 3 года назад

My doobell has two transformers and six terminals. It rings front, rear and side. Do you have wiring diagram? Thanks.

@snoww2009 Год назад

Do you think it is okay to have two front doorbell buttons (one traditional button, one with video) in parallel, both connect to the chime's "front" terminal? I don't want to use the 'rear' terminal since they are both for front door. I want to add a video doorbell without removing the traditional doorbell. The transformer is 24V 40VA and should have no problem handling multiple doorbells.

@eclipsegsxny Год назад

What do I need to buy to run three door bells. I have three doors. On the building. We are done framing. I have the 18/2 roll of wire. But I need the hardware, and the chimes ? Thank you.

@albear972 Год назад

would anyone know what would happen if you bridged the front and rear connection screws? I ask because only one plunger is activated when the doorbell button is pressed. Would that make both plungers activate and make the doorbell louder?

@campbells20042003 3 месяца назад

@nfg79 3 года назад

The polarity doesn’t matter

@bigmack2325 Год назад

@@nfg79 i had the same question. I have the two same colored wires coming from the hole where the old chime box was. My dumb ass forgot to label which one was the trans and which one was front.

@KingZoneOne 2 года назад

I have four wires coming from the wall. 2/white (twisted together), and 2/red (one-trans, one-front both on the chime), and a 24v transformer (with 8v, and 16v options) which the doorbell/camera I'm installing requires. I need to connect the wires in a way that powers the 24v smart doorbell/camera, AND rings the inside chime. Yet when everything is connected the inside chime does not operate. Of the four wires, one white and one red are live/hot, and the other red and white are not. Am I to switch out the non-live red wire that's connected to the "front" terminal for one of the white (non-live?) wires?

@quintenclark5280 Год назад

if there is a settings menu in an app, it is likely that feature is currently disabled. Should be able to just turn it back on

@ManuelPerez1406 Год назад

My chime does not have a transformer I just connected the 127v directly to it, it has a label that says 6w, would that work with a smart doorbell?

@tianaguile5516 7 месяцев назад

What was the outcome?

@kerronphillip7623 3 года назад

Quick question if possible. Can you bring both wires from the transformer directly? Or must you send one to the chime and button separately? Thanks,

@CTBCool 3 года назад

Where should I install the chime doorbell? Is there a certain spot it should be mounted at?

@OneHourSmartHome 3 года назад

Wherever the wires are accessible and you can hear the chime. Typically they are near a stairway so the sound carries or in a central part of the home. For larger homes people wire two so they can be heard throughout the home.

@TheWonderfulWonders 2 года назад

I have a one door bell house, a transformer in the garage (backside of electrical panel), and another in the closet close to the front door. There are four wires (two white, two red) in the closet where the transformer is, and a red and white wire from the wall where the chime is. My wiring does not look like your wiring and I am trying to fix my door bell. Please help.

@lisabawden4593 2 года назад

What if your house is wired for a doorbell with this wire, 4 pairs of wire colors (orange, blue, green and brown) which wires do you use?

@ceejaa100 2 года назад

Out of assumption, 1 pair should be coming from the transformer (hot) The other 3 pairs should be Front, Rear and Side doorbell. Only issue is now to find out which one you're trying to use and wire it according to this video.

@OneHourSmartHome 3 года назад

Sometimes the wires or the cover can be touching the chime bar on top which will dampen the sound check this first.
