Newhouse Hardware White 2-Note Wired Mechanical Door Bell Chime CHM1

This was a drop in replacement for my old chime. Although this chime was replacing an old chime with a wooden cover, it has a modern look. I purchased a home where apparently the previous owner installed a ring door bell. I never had a ring door bell, but when I started setting up the app, I discovered that the previous installation never used the old doorbell wiring and that the previous owner was just using the ring on wifi and not hardwired so that the battery was not being continuously charged. I thought perhaps he did this because the original doorbell wiring was shorted out or disconnected even though the old doorbells were still attached to the house. When I found the old doorbell transformer in the basement by the breaker box and that it was still giving off 17v, I decided that I should try to reconnect the old door bell system to see if I could get the Ring door bell to work with it and so that it could both charge the ring door bell and be able to ring a physical chime. The old chime was thrown out during renovation because I didn't believed it worked as the previous owner never used it, so I purchased this simple Newhouse Hardware CHM1 Door Bell Chime as a replacement. It was very simple to install and just needed to connect the correct wiring from the front and back door. To my surprise once I hooked it up and did a test ring from the front door, it rang. I was even more surprised when the back doorbell worked as well. The best surprise was when I then connected the front wiring to the Ring doorbell and again it worked, and it was charging the Ring doorbell battery. I was so pleased that everything worked. So even if there is no wifi in the house, the physical chime will still ring with the Ring door bell. It also has a modern look so it goes well with the renovation.

Check specs to be sure it matches your old system. Replaced my 30 year old system and much improved sound. Easy installation.

Good quality, decent volume. I would like it a little louder, but it will do. This is being used in conjunction with two smart doorbells and it is performing well. It's not overkill as we don't always have our phones on us at home. My only negative remark is a constant humming 24/7 coming from the unit. It isn't audible until you pass the unit on the stairs or walking through the hallway.

Does the job Easy set up No complaints

I'm sure this doorbell works well but it did not work with my Ring wired video doorbell ( which some reviewers said it would) and that because my existing transformer was too weak. The Ring video wired doorbell requires a 16V/30VA transformer. You can also use a 24V/40VA transformer especially if you have a front and back doorbell.

Worked fine. Made a lot of noise with a ring wired door bell. Wired in to the original wiring. Fit good. Size was smaller the the old on.

Good price and working fine so far.

It's a door bell, it bells. Install is easy if you're comfortable doing so.

Works with Google nest doorbell in India. Just install a transformer to convert 220V AC to 18V AC. Then connect this doorbell to the transformer output with Google nest doorbell. Price is expensive since it needs to be imported from USA. But there is no other choice.

Excellent

Essential component for fitting the Google Nest second generation wired camera door bell (designed for US home wiring) in the UK. Does the job.

Funciona muy bien. Suena agradable, no muy fuerte pero agradable, suficiente para una casa de dos pisos. Funciona con transformador de 18 a 24 VCA, y lo estoy usando con timbre wifi LaView sin problemas. Tiene para timbre frontal y trasero

Discreto y funcional
