Hi just got the battery 2k Eufy and was hoping to wire it up using our existing doorbell wires,only problem is the transformer isn’t powerful enough its only 8V.
Question is can i just remove the old one which is currently in the housing in the hallway (Would the new one even fit) or would i have to mount the new transformer at the side of it?
Option 2
Wire the eufy up to the old wires but then disconnect the chime and just use the wireless homebase as the chime? Would it still charge the doorbell ok?
That’s odd. My battery 2k doorbell is running fine with my old 8v transformer. The manual says it needs 8v - 24v. Mine is actually rated at 0.5A and yours is 1.0A so has a higher power rating. Mine happily operates the old chime.
Only other issue I have is the existing doorbell has been placed so far over to the right side. I don’t suppose there’s any other way to move the bell over without having to gain access from the other side which would mean making a hole in the wall.
Could possibly extend the wires from existing position and use some kind of painted conduit? Although the current position would work well for viewing anyway with the eufy doorbell…
