    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    This sounds like a solution to me, it makes sense in my head at least although i would need help in identifying which of the 4 wires coming into the box i need to use as well as the wiring of the relay and diodes mentioned! As for the receiver it is a plug in receiver and as the doorbell is in...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    As posted earlier i took a reading across the top two terminals and it was showing 14V without the button pushed and dropping to 8V when pushed, I'm not sure i understand why there is always voltage there but thats why i am the one asking all the questions !

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    I am not sure which two would have been the signal wires but reading across the top two in the picture gives 14V without the button in then down to 8V when pushed. Reading from the top right to bottom left gives 14V down to 1V when pushed. Thank you for the help in getting a reading, we are...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

DSC_0994 by tony27 posted 2 Dec 2016 at 3:42 PMDSC_0993 by tony27 posted 2 Dec 2016 at 3:42 PM It has some fancy sensor button thing that you just touch in fact just putting your finger inside the coil without touching it sets it off but that is not a concern as...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    Now we are talking, great find, thank you, I like the set up apart from the fact if someone jabs the bell it doesn't always work as the wireless push needs time to power up before the always on button sends the signal. I am really happy with leaving the battery in the wireless push so if i can...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    And not knowing about voltages and transformers is why i came here and didn't just connect the wires, I knew there would be power there but not knowing is my usual way of getting into trouble. I was hoping to find a way of bridging the two just because i can, of course i can go and buy more kit...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    Here are a couple of pictures, I realised when taking the picture of the ringer i must have a transformer but as the button is on brick and the wires come out of the wall i thought it must be at the fuse box and sure enough, on the wall . . . 2016-11-30 11.09.19 by tony27 posted 30 Nov 2016 at...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    Ok this is an option but it would mean buying both the button/extender and another byron ringer to make it work. I am a little confused by the instructions listed and the wiring, I need to check my door bell, I don't have any instructions so i would only assume there is a transformer involved...

    Wired doorbell to trigger wireless button?

    Nice idea, I still need the bell to ring in the house as we have three floors but actually i could buy a cheap twin ringer wireless and ring upstairs and the bottom of the garden as well as half the original ringer ?? hmm . . interesting, i will need to have a better look at the ringer, thank you.

    power shower pump stops after 5 to 10 mins

    Up until this week we could run out the hot water and the pump would still run although the shower was cold, not that we did this often but at weekends when the girls had boyfriends round etc we would get through up to 5 showers in a short period and could get away with it. Now we can get two in...

    power shower pump stops after 5 to 10 mins

    Thanks for the suggestion, I would think the same if it was a new shower but it was only the pump that was replaced a few months ago and this has just started this week. Also the shower has coped fine for 11 years (not continuously!) without having to shut off to cool down with same amount of...
