The Concept of Connecting a WiFi Video Door Bell to a NuTone Intercom System 

Hi Michael: Here's a link to our Video that shows the steps - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6YswmDNVyI.html Chris

Hi TheChefSLC: Is your 8-Note Chime fully electronic or mechanical with the Telechron Motor? - Chris

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Hi Northside, My chime is a Teiber C3-pw. It is a mechanical chime that uses a control board and solenoids to make the chimes sound. your video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6YswmDNVyI.html is really what told me what needs to be done and should be easy enough.

Hi Jack: Thanks, I appreciate the comment - Chris

Hi Jack: Wow - Thanks - Chris

Hi Jim: Thanks, You are correct - It is a fair amount of effort and work to integrate the 2 systems together - much more than most people would have imagined - Chris

Hi syco: If you're not going to use your IM5006 at all - You can disconnect it from both Transformers and use 1 of the Transformers to power your Nest. When you're ready to have the IM5006 repaired - let me know - Chris

Hi Dominic: For NuTone Transformers you can look on the cardboard insulator that is around the low-voltage screws. It will have a NuTone Model Number ie. 105T - 301T - 801T - 401T and it will also have the ratings - Chris

Hi Jay: I wouldn't leave the Ring connected to the LA55. If it damages the Microprocessor in the LA55, it will not ever be repairable. Here's a link to our Video that shows how to connect the Ring with the LA55 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6YswmDNVyI.html - Chris

Hi Mark, The Transformer for the WiFi camera can go anywhere you want - inside the wall-housing for the Master Station - the Basement - in a closet, wherever you can install it. Then if needed, you run wires to the Camera - Chris

Hi Samantha: Here's a link to out Video that explains how to wire the Relay - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qm4BgPWCSD8.html Chris

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Thanks so much. It turns out that with the Google Nest Camera instead of running it as drawn with wires from one side connecting to terminal/relay and wires from the other side connecting to doorbell/relay the wires on a single side need to connect to transformer and doorbell with the wires on the other side both connecting to the relay. This was incredibly helpful and just made something that two google On Site support reps told me was impossible work perfectly. Thank you!

@@SamanthaSmith-nu9ot You're Welcome - Chris

Hi MYchannel: You certainly could remove the original push button and just connect the WiFi Camera/Relay to the wires that had been connected to the push button - Of course this implies that the entire NuTone Entry Door Station would be removed, which removes the option of answering the Door from the Intercom System. I don't see the advantage in loosing the Door Communication - not everyone has their phone with them around the house at every moments - Chris

Northside Service Company Understood. Thanks a lot!

Hi Richard: The installation will be done exactly as shown in this Video - You have the advantage of being able to use the extra wring to supply power to the Camera. I do not have any recommendations for installers in your area - Chris

Hi Jim: Watch this later Video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t6YswmDNVyI.html Chris

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Thanks for the reply Chris. I watched the video, and I didn't see much difference that would help me. I am using a 24 VAC transformer, with a 24 VAC relay. I think my relay is the problem. With everything connected, the voltage at the coil terminals is 0.2 volts. When I push the video doorbell button, the voltage jumps to 0.5 to 0.6., but the relay does not engage the contacts. Will the DC relay you recommend in this article work at these voltages?

@@jimdelaney6015 I briefly reviewed the Hikvision installation instructions (not very helpful ) According to their instructions - if you use the Power Module and connect as if you had a "mechanical" doorbell and configure it with their app - it should work. My guess is that you don't have the Power Module wired into the system correctly - using the relay's coil as if were a doorbell coil. As for your relay choice - it the coil of the relay requires more current that the power module can supply - it will not energize correctly. This is why I choose a miniature relay which required only 200mW of current to energize. - Chris

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Thanks, Wiring is correct, but I think you're right on the relay. I switch to the one you suggest in the video. Thanks for all you're help.

Hi Wayne: What model of NuTone Chime do you have? If it's a LA52 Musical Chime - it requires a diode across the button contacts - the diode allows the Chime to complete the song, once the button has been released - Chris

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Yes, it is an LA52. I remember now that there was a diode involved. It would go across LA52 button contacts, not the ring doorbell, correct. Would one of these, MCIGICM 20Pcs 15SQ045 Schottky,15amp Diode Axial Schottky Blocking Diodes, on Amazon work? Not sure what I'll do with the other 19 :-).

@@waynethorsted6589 The Diode must be a 1N4002 - It goes across the Button contacts - not the Ring Camera - The direction of the Diode will be - in whichever direction - that makes the Chime work correctly - Chris

Hi Joseph: I'm not sure why you felt the need for the 11 ohm resistor - We have sold many of our Relay / Rectifier Boards and people have reported back to us that they work correctly - Chris

@@northsideservicecompany3567 Hi Chris, My main point was the link to a DC Relay instead of an AC relay. With regard to the resistors, the nominal output of my 12VAC 30VA transformer is 19VAC. The 11 ohm resistor along with a 5 ohm series resistor served as a voltage divider for the bridge rectifier and a current limit during the brief time the ring was shorting the line. The 12 volt DC relay, I was using, had a maximum voltage of about 15 volts. This was the reason for the divider. I plan on using the same scheme for the 12VAC relay (G2R-2A-12AC) as it has maximum 140% over voltage. The problem with my DC approach was the large DC ripple caused by the nominal 170 mA current flowing to power the Ring. I tried to filter it but the constant load of the DC relay prevented it. I won't have an opportunity to play with it for a week or so but will report back with my final solution. On another note, the only thing working on my NuTone, after a lightning surge in the neighborhood, is the Chime. I will be repairing the IM4006 right after integrating the Ring. Thanks again for all your videos, don't believe I will be as ambitious replacing all the capacitors as you were with your woman customer. Everything was working fine up until the surge.

The transformer is actually a 16VAC 30VA. My mind seems to be stuck on the number 12.

Hi Lisa: The links have been updated - You can also order a pre-assemble Relay Board from us - Here's a link to our Video about the Relay / Rectifier Board - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yJZV7k1nlxk.html Chris

maxliv0308: No - No - No - Do Not install a 24 Volt Transformer to power your IM3003 - You will bow it up in a short amount of time. In the Video I show that you need to install a 2nd Transformer (since your Intercom transformer is the wrong voltage and to small) that is dedicated to powering the Ring Video Door Bell - Chris
