About this deal
It may be worth avoiding having a bellbox completely as it will not be used once you have the Ring Doorbell (+Chime). I'm sure that would be fine, but I was glad I didn't have to deal with all of the wiring in the Consumer Unit as doing that as a non registered electrician could be considered risky. Echo Show 5 which I can have in my home office to monitor the doorbell so I can see if it's worth running downstairs to answer the door https://www. Your Ring Video Doorbell Pro requires a power source that supplies a minimum of 16 volts AC at ~20 volt-amps when connected directly to a transformer (supplied) or plug-in adapter. This power supply needs to be fed from a circuit breaker, otherwise it has no protection in the event of a fault!
This transformer is ideal as it comes in plastic bracket - i wanted to get ring doorbell instead of old Deta chime - this transformer is narrow you can fit it inside old chime once guts of old one are removed.It's just I've read conflicting reports of people not using the resistor (or at least they never mentioned it in their reporting back on results) and it would seem to work fine without it ? But they can't tell me why and I am losing faith that they have any idea what they are talking about!
Also consider that door bell transformers are only supplying power while the door bell is being pressed. I do have 2 spare slots in my consumer unit, but I'm not that experienced with DIY so I don't want to place the wires from there to the doorbell button.If you are a consumer, the limited warranty is in addition to your consumer rights, and does not jeopardise these rights in any way.
