So I have bought one of these - http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_857_i6482.html Brilliant little thing - only needs 2 wires so its a really easy swap with my existing doorbell. IT has the capability to also sound peoples existing doorbells. Currently - I have a basic switch at the doorbell that goes back to a comfort input - when you press it comfort plays the doorchime (along with a bunch of other stuff). Swapping that out and using the existing wires I can supply 24v to the doorbell and all works well. When you press the bell button the voltage drops from circa 24v down to circa 20ish volts - if you have a look at the wiring diagram ont he second page here - http://www.hikvision.com//uploadfile/image/11089_CUserswuqianyiDesktop%E4%B8%B4%E6%97%B6KB6003UD04258BSpecofDSKB6003WIPWiFiDoorbellV1.4.620170519.pdfhttp://www.hikvision.com//uploadfile/image/11089_CUserswuqianyiDesktop%E4%B8%B4%E6%97%B6KB6003UD04258BSpecofDSKB6003WIPWiFiDoorbellV1.4.620170519.pdf ] you can see that that is what used to sound an existing doorbell. What I want to find is something that sits where the mechanical chime should and changes state when the doorbell is pressed so I can monitor if the doorbell is pressed in comcfort - along with getting all the other benefits of a video doorbell. Thanks in advance! Stuart Last edited on Wednesday Feb 14th, 2018 02:31 pm by schford |

I think you need a relay with 24VAC coil voltage. The voltage-freee relay contact should take the place of the pushbutton |
