Needed to connect Ring door bell to 24vac.
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2023
To be able to connect the ring door bell 3 to 24 vac (to automatically recharge the battery) Ring tells you that you need this piece, and you really do. Without this resistor the Ring will not recharge the battery, and the battery will drain. It is easy to install and it works as expected.Read more

Charge ring doorbell 4 using transformer
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023
I had a doorbell from an intercom (M&S System MC602). It is not easy to replace the existing doorbell with ring doorbell 4. The most difficult part is to find a cover for the original doorbell faceplate and attach the ring doorbell 4 on the cover. I was able to find a blank plate to replace the old ...one without drilling holes on the wall. Then drill 4 holes on the blank plate to attach the base of the ring doorbell 4. Drill another hole to pass the two wires to connect the original doorbell wires. It looks really cool after the physical installation (see the doorbell picture). The wiring turns out to be challenging. Without rewiring, the ring doorbell 4 does not work with the existing digital doorbell and cannot be charged by the transformer of the original intercom. So, a rewiring was performed with this resistor in a serial circuit with the doorbell 4 and the transformer with 16.5VAC & 40VA (see the messy wiring picture). Then the ring doorbell 4 is hardwired and charged by the transformer constantly. No more battery change for the ring doorbell 4. But I do have to buy a ring chime to replace the existing digital doorbell. Pushing the ring doorbell 4 will make the chime sound the doorbell ring. Perfect!Read more
Only needed if you're hardwiring DIRECTLY without a doorbell chime
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024
If you DIRECTLY hardwire a 1st Gen Ring Video Doorbell, without a doorbell chime in between, then it might appear to be working correctly, but you'll find out that the doorbell never actually trickle charges with most transformers due to the unregulated power. This regulates the power and allows yo...ur 1st gen video doorbell to trickle charge (at a rate of around 4% per day on a 24VAC 40VA transformer for me) if you directly hardwire it. Newer models, like the Doorbell Pro don't require this, but might require a "Ring Pro Power Kit" in the hidden bypass mode (by removing the sticker) for a direct hardwire installation wihout a chime. Check ring forums or reddit for information on your particular ring doorbell model, since there's so many, with additional generations between them.
You might be asking, why don't you have a chime? Well, some of us have dogs that go bonkers when the doorbell rings and remove the home chime, or some of us use the ring wifi chime(s) instead of the old school mechanical chimes.Read more
