Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. kzbin.infoUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp 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

The US version does not come with any of the parts needed to install without a pre-existing doorbell. Consequently, I burned out 3 transformers before I figured out I had to order the separate pro install kit and wait for that to arrive before installation. Ring should include their custom transformer with the US Ring Pro as well. Thank you for the info. To US watchers, please note that his procedure won't work for installation in the US because critical parts are not included with the Ring Pro in the US.

Apologies for the basic question... to get the power off your light switch, did you cut in to the light switch cables and run an additional two cables behind the wall for your doorbell transformer? How did you get the 2 cables from the light switch to the transformer?
@digitalconnoisseur77305 жыл бұрын
We didn’t cut any cables but just fed the power from the light switch into a terminal block and spilt the power. One into the light switch and the other into a cable leading up to the transformer. We had an electrician do this, as we didn’t know. The other from the transformer (the 24 volt end) into the doorbell.

That's correct if you want a door bell to ring if your house already has one. Ours had no doorbell, wiring or chime. This meant we didn't need those parts as the transformer was all we needed. For sound in the house, we use the ring chime that came with the ring doorbell box.
