Eufy doorbell wiring UK

#12

I have no wiring at all to my front door so would need to start from scratch.

#13

The best would be to remove the front door totally.
So there is no more need for wiring and door bell. :rofl:

Not if it doesn’t come with the necessary bits and bobs required to power it from a 240v plug socket.

#16

And I would recommend a new model of the Eufy series
( will be relaunched in december hopefully)

Has USB-C and “chasing away function” :

The roboGuard! :smiley:

I don’t have a door bell either.

I do have a buzzer at the main door to the block, but nothing at my door. I could do with something tho, as … I’d catch someone if they tried to steal another parcel, stupidly left by Amazon, Plus a chime as not everyone can give a good knock on the door. (I’m told I have a police knock, that wakes the dead! Some older friends have complained, as they aren’t people who like police and often up to no good, so don’t like a coppers knock!)

For those without existing wiring it might be best to get something like this

Now that eufy doorbell is available in the UK. Can you confirm which transformer from amazon works with the door bell?

#25

It’s only the battery version (which can be wired)
The battery version can use 8v to 24v
The wired version is only 16v to 24v

UK standard is 8v so no new transformer required, the battery version also supports the chime so no rewiring of the chime is required either

EU standard is 12v so a transformer isn’t required either

If / when you get one don’t worry about the battery getting low thinking it isn’t charging, they have designed it to only charge below 40% to prolong battery life

If you have a 20+ year old chime in the UK it might be 6v, if that’s the case then this is the kind of transformer you need

Looks like it’s wired to 24v so will be fine

#28

Thanks for your help. I’ll let you know if it goes below 40%

I’ve got the battery Doorbell with the Homebase 2.
The doorbell itself chimes, the Homebase chimes and if you enable the Eufy Security skill on Alexa you can make your Alexa(s) chime so no need for a separate chime.

Hi, can I ask if this transformer worked?

#31

having same issue here. My wired doorbell just arrived and i have a 8, 12, 24V Transformer with 8VA but no idea how to bypass the chime. Ring Pro provided a transformer and chime bypass/power kit, can’t believe eufy haven’t done the same.

I removed my old door bell unit and wired in a single power socket. I then plugged in the supplied transformer and connected that to the existing cable that went to then old button push. I have housed the power connection in a electrical junction box to keep it all neat. It’s working perfectly.
