Honeywell Home Ding Dong Classic Wired Doorbell – White, D117

Product Information

Thanks for your article, this helped me understand how to get this up and running in the UK house I just moved into, so I put together my G4 doorbell and D117 chime with the Vemer 30VA 12+24v transformer and AC relay…. it mostly all works, I get a nice ding-dong from the chime, no buzzing, BUT – and this is the big one – every time someone presses the bell, the video stream cuts out and the notification on my Protect app on my phone is entirely useless.

Additional Chimes can be wired to the original Chime, to provide better sound coverage ? an additional or alternative transformer may also be required The first week after I had installed the doorbell, I didn’t have the chime connected to it. I wanted to see if the mobile app was sufficient for us. But when I am working and on the phone for example, then you don’t get or hear the notification on your phone. With a chime, you still hear it and you can walk to the door.Split one of the wires that is going to the doorbell and connect the wire adapters of the chime adapter between it (the red wire in the diagram). If you get the doorbell you will find in the box beside the doorbell self, also a mounting plate (with its own level in it), a 20 degrees angle mount so you can point the camera of the doorbell more towards the visitors. Also, we got some wire adapters, and completely on the right side an adapter for your chime.

Wired-in Chimes should be mounted vertically on a wall, ideally at 2 metres high, for best sound coverage

Connect the other two wires of the chime adapter (with the U shaped connectors) to the relay on terminal 7 and 8 (the orange and light blue wires) I have used different colors for each wire in the diagrams below, just to make it easier to explain. When battery-operated, wired-in Chimes and Bells can be mounted up to a maximum of 15 metres from the push, usingstandard Friedland bell wire

One thing I did notice was that the Vemer transformer is putting out 30V AC when unloaded, and about 28V with everything connected – technically this is out of the specification range, but then it seems to be running fine other than when the bell is pushed. When somebody is at the doorbell you will get a notification on your mobile with one or two seconds. If you open the notification you can of course see the video stream, but you also get the option to talk directly to the person (two-way talk) or set a (custom) message.We also get a nice little led ring around the button and of course two-way speak. So you can talk directly to the person in front of the door from your smartphone. Unifi G4 Doorbell Specifications Nest Hello lets you know who’s there, so you’ll never miss a thing.

Connect from the relay a wire (green in the diagram) on terminal 3 and connect it to terminal 1 on the chime Using a chime in combination with the doorbell was a bit of a puzzle. Partly because we are using here in the Netherlands a much lower voltage for the chime then (what if have heard) is common in the US. The Unifi doorbell requires 16 to 24VAC, but most chimes only work at 8VAC. I can sit and watch the video stream all day and it’s capturing motion alerts etc, but as soon as the bell is rung, it has a panic and the video stream stops. I can’t work it out. I tried setting up the G4 without installing the Chime option, and exactly the same thing happens (with no ding-dong from the chime, obviously) so I don’t think this is necessarily an electrical issue.If you have set up motion alerts for your doorbell as well, you probably will get first a motion alert (if everything works as expected) and then receive the “Somebody is at the door” notification when the person presses the doorbell. So the notification self is great and works really well, but I don’t think they can replace a chime in my opinion. I think it’s more of an addition to it. (because I don’t hear the chime when I am in the garden for example) Installing the Unifi Protect G4 Doorbell with a 8V Ding-Dong Chime The super bright led on the bottom of the doorbell turns on at night when the PIR sensor detects motion. Yes, the doorbell has a PIR motion detection sensor that is used for instant motion alerts and to turn on the LED light at the bottom.
