Honeywell DCP917S – Wireless Wiring Converter, White

I have a Nest Video Doorbell connected to a very old chime which my wife likes. Unfortunately could not be heard in certain parts of the house so I connected a relay to the chime circuit and used it to initiate the Honeywell wireless transmitter.The receiver can be moved anywhere in the house and reliably sounds when the door bellIs pressed. Very pleased with the result.Using a normal bell push the installation would be very straightforward.Currently I am powering the sounder with a USB adapter plugged into a mains socket rather than use batteries.

I purchased this add a font door wired bell push to the Honeywell DC313NHGBS 3 Series Doorbell combo pack. It is nicely made,works well and is simple to install once you you on an existing bell push. The only disappointment is that although it can be wired via bell transformer it seems it must be powered by the battery. The transformer voltage is only used to power the existing bell push light. Not a big deal. I knocked it down a star because for the price of this system the instructions should be a lot more comprehensive. Pictograms are fine but something this complex needs some written information/explanation in addition or the pictogram needs to be more extensive. The instructions are printed in the inside of the packaging card which unfolds. They are not the folded paper insert. Once you find them for this bit of the system the instructions are fairly clear and my comment pertains to the system as a whole. I managed to figure it all out but I'm quite good at that sort of thing. Someone less used to wiring and the pairing electronic devices will find this frustrating. And although I managed to pair this to both bell units in the DC313NHGBS package and set the sound and light options specifically for each bell push, I cannot explain exactly how I managed to do that.I wired it leaving the existing electro-mechanical bell operational. See my review of the Honeywell DC313NHGBS. 3 series combo pack for more on that.

Got this on the recommendation as i planned to use a Ubiquiti G4 Doorbell and wanted a separate in house chime.The manual was confusing as its just a series of diagrams with little to no writing as they are trying to accommodate every possible language such as Suomi and Magyayr on a single sheet of paper.As i was installing this for a G4 Doorbell i just followed a video from a UK based Youtuber on how to get it up and running and since then it has worked flawlessly no hicupps.There is a slight time delay between button press and the chime going, but it is no more than a second or two.

Really good versatile product - so good I ordered a second one when it arrived. However, the wiring instructions (it's a wired-to-wireless doorbell system) are absolutely useless. Instead of sending useless info nobody wants about conformity to EU regulations etc, why not provide a sensible set of instructions, a wiring diagram and instructions about what ll the buttons do? Product gets a 5 star, documentation gets a 1 star - hence the 3 star rating! BUT THEN IT STOPPED WORKING - SI I USED THE SECOND TRANSMITTER THAT I GOT WITH THE SECOND UNIT I ORDERED. BUT AFTER 3 DAYS THIS ONE STOPPED WORKING TOO! SENDING BOTH BACK FOR A REFUND. SO GOOD - BUT SOOOO UN-RELIABLE AFTER ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER HONEYWELL.

Used to add to an existing mains powered "standard" doorbell chime.wired the transmitter as per the guide so (see image):- AC1 and AC2 are wired onto the transformer contacts within the existing chime- one wire from the switch - the end not connected directly to the transformer (again in the chime) to contact A1worked first time - no issues to report (the hardest part in all honesty was drilling the mounting holes - and that's a 2 min job).pros:- range seems ok, I'm using mine for my office upstairs which is a mere 20M at most thru brick and wooden flooring (getting annoyed at the deliveries I keep missing because I cannot hear the existing chime!)- for installation, on the rear of the transmitter is a switch, so u can test the link between transmitter and remote chime unit prior to fully plugging it in (the transmitter is comprised of 2 parts: a terminal block part, and the main body encasing the actual transmitter: the terminal block screws to the wall, then the other half simply plugs into it).- remote chime unit can be powered by USB instead of batteries, so ideal for me in that when my works laptop is on, the chime unit is also on, and when my laptop is not on, well ...- lights and sounds on the remote chime unit is good: it will get your attention if it's on your desk like mine is, irrespective of headphones usage. I simply needed something that would chime, I don't need MP3 playback, which I don't think this model supports (and i really don't want to hear Rod Hull singing "there's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door!". UK readers: sorry if this comment invokes painful memories of Emu and the pink windmill from your childhood)Cons:- whilst I have a sound knowledge of electronics (so for me it was pretty simple to understand and how to "tap in" to existing powered setups), I can see the confusion for people whom are not so, as the guide isnt as clear as it could be (a common complaint with other feedback here): doesn't really explain how these can be wired in parallel with an existing setup: hence I have noted down how i've got mine setup above (with image). u don't need to remove any wiring for an existing powered setup, just need to "tack on" to the existing connections.- it's a pity the transmitter does NOT use the transformer voltage for power, it needs the CR2032 battery, and I cannot comment on battery life just yet (only been up for about a week)also to note:- if u are wiring to an existing powered connection, check the voltages with a multi-meter on your transformer prior to purchase/wiring in: recommended 8-12V AC on the transformer output.all in all, I'm happy with it.
