Just an update. I followed the instructions and was having problems with my transformer overheating. What I did was request a Pro Powerkit V2 from Ring. I installed this inside the Byron 776 across both terminals on the left hand side. I’m using the Ring Pro with the Byron 776 built in transformer and it’s working fine. Voltage is reported as good with 4046mv, well within specs. The bypass kit supplied with your Ring pro can actually be used by removing the sticker that is over it. Peel back the sticker and you’ll see terminals. You need to attach wires to the connections and in turn connect those to your Byron doorbell. So to recap the Ring Pro will work perfectly fine with your Byron 776 built in transformer!

I previously used this video to wire a Friedland Facet 2 which was about 20 years old. When I moved house, I took the Ring Pro with me but needed a new chime. I originally bought a Honeywell DW313S which was on the Ring list of compatible devices, but after hours of struggling I contacted their support only to be told it was not compatible -- a 'typo' on their website apparently :-( So, I bought a Byron 776 and removed the transformer just to keep things as simple as possible (although it was entirely unnecessary). I wired it identically to how Georgey Porgey did, but I think the way he's described doing it in some of the comments below is inaccurate. It goes like this: 0 = Ring Pro (top left) 1 = unused (top right) 2 = Ring Pro / Transformer (bottom right) 3 = Transformer (bottom left) Also, he use 1 and 3 on the transformer, but I stuck with 1 and 4 as recommended by Ring and it's fine. Thanks Georgey Porgey, couldn't have done it without you (both times)!

might be helpful to someone in the future - I set mine up with a setting to use the wireless chime (but still connected top left and bottom left to the existing wall chime box - basically each end of the coil wires you can see going into the coil below the terminals) as some might want to use both with the wireless as a repeater. As the wiring was tho to the old bell box anyway so made sense to use the existing chime. You have to use the B/P wiring as shown in the instructions with the existing wall chime (which is not shown here). I used the settings to connect the door bell as wireless chime - but as the Wal chime is hard wired it still also works on operation of the door bell. My installation is was an Eziviz - but similar to other makes and models. Below is a helpful wiring video for the ezviz. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHjEeX55bK-lack

I found this video while trying to solve the exact problem above. I want to explain the issues I encountered. I bought a Ring Pro 2 unit. I followed your video and instructions and can safely say it will not work. I used 2 different transformers, the 24volt supplied in the box and a bell transformer with 8v, 12v and 24v. The voltage out from the transformer at 12 volts (terminals 1 and 3) registered 16 volts on the voltmeter. However when wired as you explained the voltage dropped. The ring doorbell functioned, be it a bit slowly, and the Byron 776 solenoid hummed and buzzed and the striker acted erratically and produced a smell. A ding followed 10 seconds later by a dong and the striker shaking. I then tried ports 1 and 2 (12 volts)...no power to camera and no ding dong and finally ports 1 and 4 (24 volts) no sound from bell and camera powered up and acted as normal but no sound from the Byron. It is obvious to me therefore that the Ring Pro 2 is not compatible with a normal mechanical door chime. I cannot vouch for any other model of doorbell from Ring, but to any person thinking of connecting a Pro 2, dont waste your time. Thanks for the video though. Can you confirm the exact model of doorbell from Ring you installed Georgey?

This doesn't work. I had exactly the same setup. The bell functioned once then wouldn't work again, So I'm guessing the solenoid is new blown (maybe). I did connect to the number 3 power slot. Its a real pain as my chime device constantly goes offline and I'd rather it be connected to my traditional doorbell.

Seriously, you have to do all this shit that the average person wouldn’t attempt, just to connect a constant supply to this ring doorbell🤪🤔🥴.

If you used to be an electrician , you shouldn’t be endorsing this method. Not going to go into the technicalities but would not recommend this to anyone.

scimg how would you go about installing this? It’s all confusing now. I want to keep my old chime instead of having to use Ring chime.
