Questions and Answers for Hampton Bay Wired Contractor Doorbell Kit with 2 Wired Push Buttons, White

A:  The transformer is 1/3/4" wide x 2-1/2" tall x 1-3/4" deep.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry, most of our models follow these dimensions : (W x D x H): 2.52" x 2.32" x 2.20"

A:  Hello, We are not aware of any reason that this would not work with the SkyBell. The transformer in this kit is 16 volts and 10 VA (watts) which should be exactly what the SkyBell needs.

A:  Doubtful. But if you don't care to pull wire, you can get a radio-controlled door bell; the button uses batteries.

A:  These would be a great option for you. It is battery. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Wireless-Battery-Operated-Doorbell-Kit-with-1-Push-Button-in-White-HB-7306-03/311630488 Thanks for your question!

A:  I assume 1

A:  One should suffice. Except during the brief interval when a doorbell is actually ringing, the devices do not draw much power. The Nest manual should be consulted for details.

A:  The chime has 14 gauge wire. For the wires going to the doorbell it can be anything between 16 gauge to 24 guage

A:  Typically 18 gauge. For brief loads on the order of one ampere, this is sufficient. For some inscrutable reason, two-conductor wore sold for this purpose typically has one red and one black wire. Since this is an alternating current circuit, without an identified ground conductor, this seem somewhat pointless.

A:  jgh, All wired chimes require a transformer, common places for these are near an electrical box, in the attic, or near the actual wired chime on the wall.

A:  They ALL do. The transformer may be in a closet, in a garage, or other inconspicuous location; it will put out about 10 or (usually) 16 volts, depending on the type of doorbell which was originally installed . If you have a voltmeter (which I consider to be an essential tool -- Harbor Freight sells them for about $7), remove the screws holding the doorbell button to the door jamb and pull it out enough so that you cab measure the voltage at the terminals. HD sells "contractor kits) which contain a bell and a transformer for as little as $24.

A:  Typically the transformer is installed in the garage. It is mounted outside an electrical box on a wall.

A:  They may not be identical, but any difference would be at most cosmetic.

A:  Hello, Yes, this has the same pieces as the heath zenith version.

A:  Yes, I have installed this with my ring pro doorbell

A:  You will just replace your existing push button with the ring pro and then wire in their power pack to your chime.

A:  This works very well with it, there are videos to walk you through the process or if not call in someone to hook it up. FYI you need WIFI for video to work on it

A:  Hi Jose, The wired chime will work with the nest camera but you will need to contact next to see if the transformer is strong enough for their video doorbell.

A:  7"x 4" and 2" deep.
