Honeywell Home DCP917S Doorbell Wired to Wireless Converter kit – White, 3 V

I have a Nest Video Doorbell connected to a very old chime which my wife likes. Unfortunately could not be heard in certain parts of the house so I connected a relay to the chime circuit and used it to initiate the Honeywell wireless transmitter.The receiver can be moved anywhere in the house and reliably sounds when the door bellIs pressed. Very pleased with the result.Using a normal bell push the installation would be very straightforward.Currently I am powering the sounder with a USB adapter plugged into a mains socket rather than use batteries.

I purchased this add a font door wired bell push to the Honeywell DC313NHGBS 3 Series Doorbell combo pack. It is nicely made,works well and is simple to install once you you on an existing bell push. The only disappointment is that although it can be wired via bell transformer it seems it must be powered by the battery. The transformer voltage is only used to power the existing bell push light. Not a big deal. I knocked it down a star because for the price of this system the instructions should be a lot more comprehensive. Pictograms are fine but something this complex needs some written information/explanation in addition or the pictogram needs to be more extensive. The instructions are printed in the inside of the packaging card which unfolds. They are not the folded paper insert. Once you find them for this bit of the system the instructions are fairly clear and my comment pertains to the system as a whole. I managed to figure it all out but I'm quite good at that sort of thing. Someone less used to wiring and the pairing electronic devices will find this frustrating. And although I managed to pair this to both bell units in the DC313NHGBS package and set the sound and light options specifically for each bell push, I cannot explain exactly how I managed to do that.I wired it leaving the existing electro-mechanical bell operational. See my review of the Honeywell DC313NHGBS. 3 series combo pack for more on that.

Got this on the recommendation as i planned to use a Ubiquiti G4 Doorbell and wanted a separate in house chime.The manual was confusing as its just a series of diagrams with little to no writing as they are trying to accommodate every possible language such as Suomi and Magyayr on a single sheet of paper.As i was installing this for a G4 Doorbell i just followed a video from a UK based Youtuber on how to get it up and running and since then it has worked flawlessly no hicupps.There is a slight time delay between button press and the chime going, but it is no more than a second or two.

Used with a nest doorbell battery, wired in to mains.Overall: Massive disappointment and shame and poor design decisions. Almost like they did zero testing.Pros:Nice designWago style connectors are a good IDEA...Speaker quality is very niceFlashing lights are goodCustomisable tones are niceAbility to mute for a period is goodCons:Battery in wireless transmitter lasts a week at most. Tested this with every brand including the best weatherproof cells, nope, just constantly drains. Up to 2 years they say? They lie.Wireless transmitter Wago connectors snap just by touching them. Too small, too fragile.USB Micro means it's legacy, and these connectors ALWAYS fail, why isn't it USB-CAs such, overall it is utterly useless and not fit for purpose.Maybe it's a bad batch? Well try calling customer 'support' and endure their utter disdane for customers. 'Have you tried reconecting it'. No course I haven't you absolute genius.Returned after fighting with it.Went with Lloytron wireless transmitter and plug-in chime instead. Installed it in 15mins, worked instantly and the battery is a 5year A23, so expecting this to last far longer. Why they can't pull from the 12V feed directly and charge a capacitor is beyond me, this battery lark is like a solar-powered torch.
