    For whom the bell tolls

    Thanks everyone ...Job Done. I just cut off the circuit board and ran bell wire to push connected to the red and black that were powering the circuit board. It just works as a normal battery powered bell unit. No more bells in the night. This is a great forum, thanks for all you help.

    For whom the bell tolls

    I would if it were just an ordinary cheepie but it is one of those false Victorian box alarms that have a swinging bell and look and sound lovely. Wife is keen on Victoriana so everything in the hall is traditional... so bearing that in mind do you reckon that the transformer to the battery...

    For whom the bell tolls

    Ask not For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee. Actually they are constantly ringing for nobody at all times of the day and night. I have had so many problems with a Byron Wireless doorbell that I shall not bore you with it. My question is - Could I just get shot of the wireless...

    Two way switch along side new one way...
