Hi I am getting deaf (old age) and can no longer hear my ding dong door bell
when I am in the kitchen. I bought a cheap wireless door chime from Lidl but it is not much use. When someone comes to the door it makes my wireless internet drop out, also it now needs a new battery and it costs more than I paid for the door chime. In my kitchen cupboard just under the consumer unit is the bell transformer, installed when the house was built so all the wiring is cunningly hidden. So I thought, is it possible to connect a second bell to the transformer so that the old ding dong bell just inside the door and a new bell in the kitchen will both ring at the same time? If when someone is pressing the bell push at the front door and cannot hear a bell ring they think the bell is broken and batter on the door so I want the ding dong bell at the front door to ding dong as well. I think that is why the battery on the wireless one does not last long because it could not be heard at the front door. And I worked out that the transformer's electricity usage is less than the cost of batteries and I can get a doorbell from a friend for nothing before they find out that their new wireless door bell will cost them more in batteries :-) So if it is possible how would I wire it up? Would I just disconnect one wire from the transformer and connect it to the bell and connect a wire from the bell to the transformer? 4 6 8 volts .63amp transformer Jan |
