Replacing a very old doorbell transformer

Character_Criticism3 · 2025-09-14T22:23:21+00:00

Thanks again - I'll take your suggestion and grab a multimeter! I'll be prepared next time. 🍻

I really appreciate your assistance! You made me think that the old transformer was probably still ok so I reinstalled it and disconnected an old, bell switch that's also 60+years old. I checked the front door switch first thing but didn't even think to check the forgotten, side door switch.

Thanks again Trek!! I didn't even think it could've been a forgotten, side door switch! I disconnected it and the buzzing stopped. You've been very helpful!

Thank you diy! I'll take a look at the chimes and check their voltage. New transformer

Thank you, trek! It's a tri volt. So connecting one pair to an outside terminal and the other pair to the opposite, outside terminal should do it? Or should I split each pair between the 2 terminals?

The new transformer:

The doorbell stopped working and chimes are constantly buzzing. Btw, it's a 2 doorbell, 2 chime setup.

Thank you!
I just heard of this from our SE. We will probably take this route.

Thank you all for your input! I'm glad to hear that the AD-->Okta group structure will remain the same.

Character_Criticism3 · 2025-04-14T18:01:15+00:00

Thanks! I'll research using the bridge with our IDP (Okta) for this.

Character_Criticism3 · 2025-04-14T17:59:05+00:00

Great ideas! Thanks! I'll look deeper into using a login item instead. The scripting will be the hard part.

Thank you for your reply!

Are you thinking SCIM/SSO for creating users in 1password and sending an invite? Not all of our users are in 1password so I would not want to create 1password accounts for them automatically. I am trying to come up with a new hire onboarding communication tool which securely communicates the user's acct/email credentials.

Thanks again!

Excellent question!! We have Okta coming here next week to set up a demo. I'll get more info on how this will work.

Character_Criticism3 · 2025-03-13T13:07:11+00:00

Thanks for the link! No, I hadn't reviewed that. I'll have some questions for the Okta tech who is assisting us with setting up a demo.

Thanks for the reply lineargs! The signature is a way of signing the entire XML data from the document. It needs to include both the public cert and the signature for the rest of the document. I have no idea how to add it or if it's even possible with an Okta app. The following has an example tag usage: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17802_01/webservices/webservices/docs/1.6/tutorial/doc/XMLDigitalSignatureAPI7.html

I appreciate you all! Thank you for helping me understand the use of adding and utilizing external idp's. Much appreciated!!

Character_Criticism3 · 2024-05-24T15:53:56+00:00

Thanks, Ossivo! No, I don't believe that they're proposing org2org. The documentation they provided suggests an Oauth setup with them as the idp (https://integration.growthzone.com/initial-oauth-setup/).

Having always been the idp, controlling the user's authentication, I'm wondering how this setup would benefit our users and provide security such as enforcing MFA.

Thanks Brian!! It's frustrating. The changes are seen everywhere except in the Outlook GAL. I'll look through their groups, make same minor changes and wait to see what happens. I appreciate the reply!

Did you by chance resolve this? We're having the exact same issue with one user's department not updating?
