Building a network rack into the wall
To clean up my home network installation, I have built a 36U 19" network rack into the framing studs in the wall of the basement, in a dead area under the stairs.

    The coil in my doorbell camera trickles AC back down to the 24VAC relay from the doorbell camera, so it makes the chimes go off without anyone pressing the doorbell camera. Plus the coil on the relay for the chimes does not satisfy the doorbell camera's power stability. Ubiquiti G4 doorbell. Any ideas of what I can do?

    Thanks for sharing, the Panasonics are really great but the lack of LANC port is a real bummer, we are using them to live stream sports and a remote would have made it mush easier. I only need a remote to reach the handle of the tripod so thinking of a basic mechanical solution, but maybe go down this route with a servo also.

    Hi, the Ring din-rail power supply I received with my ring doorbell pro 2 has an 24v DC output. Do you know if this will work as well if I replace the relais for an 24v dc version? Well I tested it with the DC power supply and a DC relay and it doesn’t work. When I use an 24VAC power supply and the ring power kit it works as shown in the video Although sometimes the relais keeps switching and a power cycle is the only way to shut it down. Does anyone know why? The mechanical chime in the video draws about 1 amp. My relais only 0,14 amp. Could this have something to do with this?

      On the breadboard, the chip on the left is a rectifier that isn't used. The small board in the middle is a level-shifter like www.amazon.com/Adafruit-4-Channel-I2C-Safe-Bi-Directional-Converter/dp/B00NAY3J7O or www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Channels-Converter-Bi-Directional-3-3V-5V/dp/B07F7W91LC The level-shifter is not required, but some devices won't detect the i2c communications at only 3.3V levels. In the final machine I used a USB-TTL adapter to communicate with the Tic using the serial protocol.

The pro 2 works fine but when I've tried pushing the button it doesn't activate the relay. I've tried 3 different relays, 2 ring pro 2s, 16vac & 24vac transformers but nothing works. I'm starting to think the pro 2 just does it differently then the other versions. Can you help me?

    The ground straps may have been left off just to isolate the secondary winding. Making the variac an isolated transformer on the output.

    • @Corgitronics
      @Corgitronics Před rokem

      I'm sorry, but that comment is dangerously incorrect. This standard type of variac does not provide any isolation, it merely varies the voltage. Disconnecting the ground does not "float" the output in any way, and it reduces the safety of the device under test.

There wasn't enough voltage on existing wires to power the Ring Pro so I was looking for a solution to connect it with my Panasonic system (I first called Ring and they said it is not compatible). I came across this video for a Nutone intercom but figured it should also work for my Panasonic system.

    So no one has responded to the question I posted 3 days ago. Of course this is a rather old video, the last comment posted was over a year ago. For anyone who might read these comments in the future, I ordered the ring pro kit v3 on Amazon for just $1.99 and added it across the power terminals of the relay as recommended in the video to see if it would solve the problem I was having. Previously I installed a Eufy battery powered video doorbell. The Eufy was able to connect to my relay and ring the chime module in my intercom, however I would hear the relay hum for a few seconds every minute or so. Anker (Eufy) customer service was unable to help me resolve the hum and suggested that I not use it with my wired doorbell system. I had installed my Eufy doorbell to my intercom according to the directions in this video, however the video highlights the Ring video doorbell and installed using the Ring pro power kit. Since Eufy does not offer a similar gadget for their doorbell and instructed me that they were unable to resolve the hum issue, I decided to order a Ring pro power kit and try it with the Eufy. Wow! It now works flawlessly with no more hum. For anyone who may have the exact same circumstances this will allow you to follow this video with your Eufy equipment.

  • @irawatson2006
    @irawatson2006 Před 2 lety

    I appreciate your schematic and followed your directions and replicated your results, however I am using a Eufy battery powered video doorbell which of course does not come with the Ring pro power kit (different manufacturer). As is, everything works as it should however every 30 seconds or so the relay will make a momentary humming for a few seconds. The humming annoys me so much that I have disconnected from the relay (and of course the intercom chime). I can only assume that this humming is when the Eufy video doorbell draws power to trickle charge it's built in battery, just like the Ring does. Also the Eufy has infrared emitters for night vision, again like the Ring. It's specs and operation seem to be very similar to the Ring video doorbell, but unlike the Ring there is no monthly fee to store video clips. If i purchase the Ring pro power kit and install per your diagram I am hoping it will solve the humming problem and work flawlessly with the Eufy. All I know to do is purchase a Ring pro power kit and try it, but Is there any reason you can think of that trying this idea could cause damage or problems to my equipment?
