Hello all,
I bought a Friedland battery operated doorbell from wickes. It takes 3x AA batteries. Wired it up to doorbell switch and works fine.
However, it can't be heard in the hall near the front door. So I bought another cheapie battery operated doorbell (a Byron one from screw fix) which requires 1x 9v battery. I went for this as it came with spare wire and a new switch if I needed one.
When wired to the switch this one works fine in isolation also.
However, I was thinking I could just use a little chock-block to switch both bells at the same time. Single pair from the switch, and a pair running to each doorbell. A 'Y' if that helps.
In this configuration, only the Byron one works. If I disconnect the battery from the Byron, then the Friedland one works again.
Hoping for some help :-S
