Holy crap. Finally got this working with both the solid state relay and the normal relay. As I suspected, the power kit was not doing its job well enough. So I purchased a ring power kit pro v3 for 2 bucks on amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P3TF3V7?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and that did the...

So. the Relay is not working. I picked up the solid state one I linked above as well as the mechanical relay from the youtube video. I think the bell is drawing too much current still. It is keeping the relay tripped and then the bell doesnt get enough voltage. This si with the powerkit. I think...

Probably, that's why I have the 30VA in the mail. But that's not the issue here. I found the solution after a bunch of looking. I need to install a relay. https://www.functionaldevices.com/about/blog/2020/08/a-relay-for-the-nest-hello-doorbell/

I have an LD-49, much older but same wiring Vintage 80s NUTONE Door Bell LD-49 Westminster Chimes 4 Brass Tubes with Lights Manual NuTone Door LD-49 User Guide | ManualsOnline.com

Did you ever figure this out? you have the same issue as me even with the 30VA transformer

Yeah I came from a ring with a battery too (which worked fine), just got sick of the subscription and not having rtsp when I have a beefy server and network at home. I order this Newhouse Hardware Wired 16V 30vA Doorbell Transformer Compatible with Ring Pro-30TR - The Home Depot

Thank you for the insight, I did just rule out the wiring as I did a bench test (with the chime still on the wall) and connected the doorbell right at the chime and observed the same behavior. Once my new transformer goes in I will have to see what happens

Yeah the transformer is on a j-box in the attic above the doorbell, I recently had my insulation done so there is no more flooring and about a foot and a half of fluff there, so I didn't want to go over just to read what it is, I figured I'd do it once for the replacement. My real concern is...

Right now it is 1 button and the db1, but I'm hoping to change out the button and be running 2 db1s, so the transformer change is probably inevitable regardless. The chime is a 16VAC chime, just when it chimes the voltage drops down to 8v only on the circuit the db1 is on. That is to say the...

Hi all, I could really use some help with an ezviz db1 I just got. I'm having issues with my chime. I have and old NuTone LD-49, which has a common wire in addition to a trans wire. Here is the manual with a wiring diagram and I attached a screenshot User manual for NuTone LD-49 - a user...
