Hello,

I've seen in the technical specs that the new Nest Hello (Battery) requires up to 24V and 10VA. Most of the transformers in UK have 8VA instead of 10. Will that be enough to power the new Nest Hello (Battery). Everything I found on these pages is about the old model that I know works with 8VA.

I just wanted to understand if those 10Va are a must have requirement or 8va would be enough. Thanks
