Simplest Video Ive Seen.... I actually bought everythingin the video before i even saw this video , so it was even easier.

Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. ru-vid.comUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa

Mr. Chris Craft, I just want to say thank you for this clearly explained how to wire a doorbell video. My wired doorbell stopped working about 10 years ago. At the time, I tried but couldn't fix it. So, I got a wireless doorbell. It worked for a while but not reliable. After several years I got another wireless doorbell. Same result. After listened to my wife's harping on me to fix the doorbell I went to RU-vid and found your video. The simplicity of your explanation was perfect. I was able to follow your diagram and sort out the mess which was my existing doorbell wiring. Look, I just want to say thanks. Do more videos like this.

@DonaldDump2024 3 года назад

Why is it that wives can complain about things for years but not even attempt to fix it themselves? Wouldn’t it be a treat if they did? I help around the house with vacuuming, washing dishes, laundry, cook some, but the help never seems to go the other way. “I cant do that stuff” is the response. Yet, women want equal pay in the workplace? Non sequitur I say. 😂😂🤦‍♂️

@jasonb7156 5 лет назад

Because of your diagram at 16:19 i was able to fix my doorbell! thank you for the video.

Chris, Thank you for making a simple, straight-forward video...I got it. You explained everything so well. No kids talking in the background, I could hear you well, and you covered everything I needed to know.

@Juneorta 11 месяцев назад

After spending countless hours wiring and rewiring, I am so glad I ran across your video. A diode was the reason my chime would not work. Thank you a million times over for posting your video and mentioning that tiny diode. I purchased the one I needed and the chime works like it should!

@MtnBadger 3 года назад

Good point about the diode, this is a life long issue with people putting in doorbells. They think "Ahh, I don't need that, it's a pain. It works.." then complain about it. A company would not spend the money to include it if not needed. It's only a few cents but, over the course of a million units, it's a lot of money. I like the seasonal ring tones for Christmas, new year (Auld lang syne) and your birthday... lol. Bethoven is cool, too. Mostly, I appreciate your straightforward, lay out and test the unit first approach because it ensures the product, your doing it right and removes confusion when you start stringing wire. Common sense stuff, which isn't too common, anymore. Thanks! (P.S. You'll enjoy your ring doorbell. I recommend them to anyone.)

I love these straight-ahead DYI type videos. Working out the details and bugs as you go through the install. Which is how I tend to do these things. I need to get power to my Ring doorbell because I am tired of removing it and putting it on the charger. I saw the Ring doorbell in your video, got excited for a second until you said that was for another day. bummer. Anyway, thanks for the wiring help.

@MrVeeBlog 5 лет назад

I disconnected the original wiring and put in this battery powered, wireless doorbell box a bunch of years ago. Now I need that connectivity to set up the Ring but I'm not sure how to reconnect things to get a current back to the Ring.

@MrMartinoBranding 5 лет назад

Thank you for this. I just bought a nest video doorbell thinking it would solve my problem on not having a doorbell connected, but apparently, you still need a full doorbell before installing the Nest. Argh...I will have to figure out how to get that done and how to pass the wires. At the very least this gives me a good idea of how to do so.

@eliasgutierrez6789 3 года назад

Technically, if you don't have a hard wired doorbell you can still use the nest doorbell as long as you have google home speakers. That's what I did.

@Cinder4051 2 года назад

Im in the process of setting up my own video doorbell. Would you set it up the same way?

@im_skipachu 4 года назад

In this particular case, the direction of the diode doesn't matter because it's an A/C system. The electric is always switching directions, back and forth; 60 times per second here in the States. The diode keeps the power going in one direction flowing so it can keep the chime playing. So, it's basically using only half the power to play the tune. If the diode is not there, then all the power disappears when you release the button, and the tune stops.

why did you get rid of ring? i hardwired ring to this door bell(i have a video) and it has been running perfect for over a year now.. battery is at 92% ... let me know..

@seanbhaney 4 года назад

@@chriscraft77022 Hey Chris...the Nest Doorbell has just a plethora of neat options that were too hard to pass up. First, I got the Ring Pro and an Echo 5 for my wife for Christmas ( a killer deal at $140 for both). I got the Ring installed but hadn't got the Echo setup, then my son got me a whole bunch of Google Home items for Christmas, which we celebrated with him on New Years Day. I was sold on GH from that point, even though I had invested in a few Echo products and had the whole home setup (with my Insteon system), I ordered a Google Hub (the 7" screen), and researched the Nest Hello on various reviews. Ordered the Hello Doorbell on eBay for $179, then sent back the Ring and Echo 5 to Amazon, and now easily got everything setup correctly (definitely had to replace the transformer with a 16 volt, 30VA transformer from Amazon, so now even my home address sign on the front shines better!). I LOVE the ability set the Activity Zones for different notifications, and as I've always used Google Photos for all my pics, the ability to have Familiar Faces setup was key (GH will announce WHO is at the door if you've set this up). PLUS....the announcement feature (that many seem to forget to set in Nest)) announces someone at the door - at every Google speaker you've setup, and we've got one in almost every room of the house (more to come with the work shed, backyard, and few more Google displays)! Also, the 2-way sound is MUCH clearer with Nest Hello. Video is as good as my 2k Lorex cameras (12 of them). I've got the 30 day trial, as as much as I'm against any re-occuring fees, I'll probably wind up forking out the $50 per year for the Nest subscription. I just like the way that Google has integrated everything much better and easier. Oh...and no battery with Hello to worry about...it's all hardwired. And it all runs on the 5G band of my home network. My point about the existing doorbell was that: 1) I'm not quite sure I need to replace it, since GH announces everywhere, and 2) in wiring it might have got screwed up between a Ring installation and the Hello installation (and I can't even find a manufacturer's name on the unit, so you know it's a contractor special, so it's junk). But soon to be selling the home, I'll probably get a new chime because the Hello Doorbell is moving with us (unless a buyer wants to pay for the whole GH system!).

You are great at making instructional videos. To many people that post instructional videos on RU-vid talk so fast that it is almost impossible to understand what they are saying. I have to listen to their videos many times before I finally understand it. With your video, one time is all it took, and I got it all. Thank you very much. I now have to find a video that shows how to run the wires through the walls. If you have one or know of one please let me know. Again thank you.
