Google Nest Doorbell Wired-Transformer but no Chime

TEXMEX210

Hi there,


I have a Google Nest Doorbell that is currently being powered by a household outlet while we remodel.  We just recently added wiring from a transformer that will power the doorbell, but we didn't include a chime inside our house and plan to continue using the Google Hub as our doorbell and video.

 

I'm looking to reinstall the doorbell in it's new location and just want to confirm which wiring set up I should be using, since the samples provided include the chime in the path. 

 

Thank you

Hello TEXMEX210,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. In case you have your Nest Doorbell (2nd gen, wired), it has higher power requirements than most doorbells. The required rate for your transformer is 16-24 V AC, 10-40 VA to provide enough power to your Nest Doorbell. If you've already installed your Nest Doorbell and you see a blinking yellow light on the front, your Nest Doorbell isn't receiving enough power. Hit this link for more information. Let us know your update here.
 
Regards,
Emerson

Hi there and thanks for the suggestions. I had our electrician install the proper transformer for the doorbell, my concern is around the wiring configuration since there is no chime unit. I’m just using the google hub and a mini speaker as my doorbell.  
 
I’m going to give it a try this weekend.
 
Thank you
