I thought you were saying I could wire in a relay such that when the Ring doorbell button is pushed that the 24v transformer energises/activates the relay and closes the circuit to allow the 8v transformer to ring the bells? I've tried to draw what I think that looks like, but I expect I don't...

I believe the transformer supplied with the Ring has output terminals for 8, 16 and 24vac (might be 8, 12, 24) So how might I wire it all up with a relay to provide the ring with the 24vac it needs for video while only providing ~8vac to the butler's bells? Is there a relay you'd recommend? (I...

Yes, that is what I would like. When someone pushes the button on the Ring it should ring the butler's bell for the front door and make the little indicator flag swing.

Hi everyone We have an old servants bell system in our house from the 1920s/1930s (see pics). It's rated at 8v and is currently hooked up to a Friedland 753 8vac transformer, which is interestingly outputting 15.63vac according to my multimeter. A few years ago I replaced the front door bell...

Thanks :)

Hi, Anyone have any experience with the new Myson iVector fan convectors? iVector info I'm looking to replace two old rads in my conservatory and am considering either the Myson iVector IV60x140 or the Myson Hi Line RC 20-14. I have done the full heat loss calcs (using proper software)...

Hi, I'm looking to replace two old 1980s rads in my conservatory and was looking at the Myson fan convectors. I'm not sure I understand the wording of your quote above. When you say the Myson fan convectors have the "same qualities" do you mean as a TRV or as a rad with no TRV? I...

Thanks guys!

Hi, We've just moved into a house which has a Vaillant ecoTEC 624 plus boiler (24kw). The house had very old (1950s/60s), inefficient radiators which we've replaced with new Stelrad double-panel/double-convector and single-panel/single-convector rads as appropriate based on heat-loss...
