New home - looking for best chime

[Mike38344]

Building a new home.  Have specified the required transformer to electrician for 2nd Gen wired doorbell.  What’s the best chime?  Single doorbell, one chime.

Hi there,

Foremost, congratulations on your new home! I hope it is everything you wanted and more. As for your Nest Doorbell 2nd Gen (wired), you will want to use the Chime Puck that came with the device. The Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen) must be connected to a transformer rated to 16 to 24V AC and at least 10 VA to receive enough power. 30 VA is recommended for homes that have high-impedance doorbell wiring due to long wire runs or thin doorbell wiring.

You may need to upgrade or replace your current transformer. You also need to replace your current Nest chime connector with the new one that comes with the Nest Doorbell (wired, 2nd gen). For more information, check this article.

Best regards,

Brad

I got all that - thats why i stated i have speced the transformer to the electrician.  I am asking for practical advice from people using the Nest for what Chime works best.

You should be using the chime connector/chime puck that comes with the device. That is our recommendation.
