Questions and Answers for Hampton Bay Wireless or Wired Doorbell Chime, Dark Oak Wood with Silver Insert

A:  Hi Zasa , thank you for your inquiry. It should work but we cant give you an accurate answer since we don't test our products with other brands devices.

A:  We had one installed a few months ago by an electrician. It works great!

A:  Hello, The diode part no. is 1N4003.

A:  Hello, Yes, this chime unit is a digital chime that plays sound through a speaker.

A:  The doorbell requires either connection to a transformer or 3 1.5V "C" cell batteries. I connected mmine to an existing transformer from the doorbell I was replacing.

A:  Yes. This isn't battery powered. All doorbells use a low voltage transformer unless they are battery powered. The chimes are programmable (there are several different chimes in this doorbell). Hence electronic chimes.

A:  Hello, The cover should just come off by pulling straight out on it to unsnap it.

A:  It is a little tricky. If you push up on the cover while watching that the base stays in place, pull out at the bottom. So, lift and pull out at the bottom. If the unit isn’t mounted firm on the wall, you probably won’t get the cover off without taking the whole assembly off the wall. Inside the cover, there is a tab located on the top and bottom that snap into slots on the base. When you are pushing up on the cover, you are releasing the bottom tab from the base. Once you do it, it’s pretty simple. I hope this helps

A:  Ron, Yes, it can be wired.

A:  Wiring existed and I didn't want to mess around with batteries.

A:  no

A:  Is that a question? As in is this normal operation? No, it's not. But it's a junk doorbell. Expect there will be defective units. Return it for a credit and replace your old doorbell which is probably a hundred times better.

A:  Hello, The unit should not have a problem working with Nest. We do recommend to check with Nest about comparability for their product.

A:  Manufacturer says the 16 volt transformer will actually produce between 18 and 22 volts, this is what a meter would show if you measure it with NO LOAD. When there is a load (somebody pushes the doorbell button) the voltage would be expected to drop to about 16 volts and stay there until the load is removed (chimes finish playing and shut off).

A:  I suggest you contact manufacture for correct voltage information. If you was to proceed with the new installation start with 16 volt and if that doesn't work go 18 volt and see which voltage works best. There's multi voltage doorbell transformers available.

A:  Hello, You can have one button and two chimes. You would just make sure to sync your button to both chimes.
