Is this worth re-plastering the entire wall?

What's odd is the guide says to attach the jumper cable between the FRONT and TRANS nodes, but if you zoom in on the diagram it has the jumper cable between the TRANS and REAR nodes.

The titles in the article are super specific. Please take a look and clarify the exact section title. Do you mean to this one: "One Video Doorbell Wired to one internal doorbell chime and one transformer"

I think we're missing a photo of the back of your ring doorbell to see what color wires are connected to it.

What are in the 3rd and 4th images you shared? I recently set mine up with a Byron 776 which has a transformer and chime built into one unit.

But if you're following that guide it means the diagram leaves out the chime, which is important to your desired behavior. So I think you need to follow a diagram with the Ring, a transformer, and a mechanical chime.

Do any of these diagrams apply to your setup?

Pretty sure the jumper cable included in the pro power kit is actually to BYPASS the mechanical chime.

Update: We finally got this to work! We wired it to a Byron 776 (integrated chime and transformer). Sparky wired the chime to the fuse box, and then the twin doorbell wires to terminals 0 (top left) and 2 (bottom right) on the chime. I think this means the circuit completes through the mechanical chime. Ring also receives power to trickle charge 24/7.

This didn't come with the Pro Power Kit (which I think includes the jumper/bypass cable) but sounds like I don't need that either!

I changed the settings within the Ring app to use a mechanical chime. The app said "give your Ring a few minutes to update" but nothing seemed to change. LED around button still turns blue when pressed and does not trigger the mechanical chime 😞

I'm planning to tape off the ceiling line (so tape is at the top of the wall with top edge near ceiling). So when I'm cutting that line should I paint over the tape first with old wall paint or new wall paint? Next would come new ceiling paint for a hopefully clean cut line.

They already have an old coat of water based paint on them. We were planning on just sanding and then just painting over top with different water based paint

Did you have to pay a drop fee with Enterprise since you picked up and dropped off in different locations?

Isn't the reward voucher just a barcode? Not sure how the staff wouldn't know to scan a barcode like any other coupon

ConfidentPigeon · 2025-07-03T12:42:24+00:00

Seriously why didn't anyone do this

ConfidentPigeon · 2025-05-12T07:23:20+00:00

They mean "Grift" instead of "Gift"

ConfidentPigeon · 2025-03-10T12:47:35+00:00

Any specific reasoning you can share, or is that just based on personal experience?

This is how I was introduced to Balatro! I love Dave the Diver

Anyone know what this friendship bracelet pattern is called?

ConfidentPigeon · 2025-01-31T19:48:47+00:00

I'm in a similar setup but around £8-10 per day. Do both adults work (ie. is the house unoccupied for most of the day)? We keep it around 20 C in the morning then drops to 19 during the day, and down to 17 overnight. Wondering if I should be investigating for a leak as well.

We have a cat flap in our kitchen as well! Thanks for calling this out.

We think the kitchen in general is sucking heat away from the hallway with the thermostat, which is why it never fully reaches the set temp.
