Why did you put batteries in if it’s hardwired? Will the transformer not power the doorbell?

You have to put in the batteries on Blink doorbells even if you wire it or it won’t work. Not sure why
@necremuusd8 ай бұрын
I tried running out without batteries while being hardwired, and it wouldn't even turn on. So I did some research and found that batteries allow the doorbell to send a radio signal instead of completing a circuit when the button is pressed. The doorbell's transformer may not provide enough power for motion events, so batteries are always required. Also it makes my original house doorbell still chime, so if I don't have my phone on my I can hear it.

I did exactly the same. Batteries installed and all wired to a 16V xformer that always worked w/ my old doorbell. Now the Blink chimes outside but doesn't inside. Yet when I short the 2 screws inside the Blink doorbell with a screwdirver my inside doorbell rings. Is there some configuration to tell it to use the inside bell, not the one in the Blink bell?
@Jeff99 Жыл бұрын
I answered my own question! To have the inside doorbell ring you need to wire the Blink button via a transformer. I used the one and its wires I already had. The Blink would ring but not via the inside bell. To fix that I foraged through the Settings in the Blink app and sure enough there's the option to have either or both bells ring. I enabled ringing on the inside of the house with my old bell, and having the Blink ring, too. Pretty cool.

This is a newer home - installed with a 16V -10VA transformer (in the attic) - others claimed issues with this 10VA transformer - thus I chose to only do this install once so I went with the 30VA. The new house is totally dominated with Alexa devices - so she will be joined in the circle as well.
