About this deal

Could I not simply replace the current transformer (shown in green in my picture above) with a new one? It does however perform well and was easy to install is not too unsightly but could be made to look more subtle such as a white colour. If it doesn't, can't you just get a spur off a nearby lighting ctt and power your doorbell transformer from that?

I'm having a porch built and the wiring for a standard dumb wired doorbell has already been costed into the quote. This is an ac/dc 'power supply' and although designed to mount on a DIN rail, it should be fed via a mcb. Or is it better to feed the new CU from the mains input of the old CU and have an RCD in the new CU instead of the isolator switch?

Not meaning to criticise, but I think it is more useful to explain how to safely fit it, rather than complain about what it isn't. Hardwire compatible Ring Video Doorbells using your existing doorbell wiring, for non-stop power and protection.

Your best bet is to plump for the Rong Pro2 doorbell now and go for the hardwired option, as installation would be like for like to a registered sparky. I have a Ring Pro Hardwired doorbell, and am having a devil of a job sourcing an appropriate transformer for it.

It may be worth avoiding having a bellbox completely as it will not be used once you have the Ring Doorbell (+Chime).

I’ve bought a Ring Video Doorbell Wired, the transformer for my current doorbell is only 6VA, 6V, 50HZ.this way i think the 24VAC will be protected by the RCD and MCB in the main consumer unit, and can be isolated by the switch in the additional CU if required. Standard features such as instant notifications, live view and two-way talk are available out of the box and for free on all Ring devices. This transformer is very easy to install if you know how to wire your consumer unit box, but I recommend using a qualified electrician if you're not familiar with consumer units.
