@MAC1973 that's the picture I attached in my July/18 post above, minus the resistor which I removed (and literally soldered the cables together). I powered the zwave relay switch from the same transformer that powers the doorbell, that in my case is installed inside my electrical panel. There is...

@sebastiantombs the hot resistor is a threat to my igloo, it melted the door already. :) Kidding aside, I realized that my AC/AC adaptor, this one: OhmKat Video Doorbell Power Supply- Compatible with Nest Hello - No Existing Wiring Required - Transformer Adapter Power Kit & Supply All in One...

Implemented the solution, using the 10ohm/10W resistor, current sensor, and zen16 relay used only to sense the state of the current sensor. Hikvision DS-HD1 switched to "mechanical chime" - when doing this, with every button press it shorts itself for about half a second, enough for the sensor...

Thanks @David, I borrowed the idea of using a zwave relay from your 101 :), what maybe a bit unique in my case is the absence of a physical chime device in the circuit. I went ahead and ordered the current sensor and the 10W resistor, and the relay. Up to now I was using the "android app...

Thanks @sebastiantombs ! Dusting off my ohm's law from a few decades ago... I have a current-limited transfomer/VAC supply that gives 20VAC with 500mA max (I need to test that it's limiting properly though). I've read that when set to mechanical mode, the DV1 (Hikvision DS-HD1 in my case) shorts...

@tommyd75 in your setup, do you have the DB1 doorbell powered directly by the 24VAC and you just installed the current sensor, without using the power kit nor a mechanical chime? or do you have a mechanical chime as well in your setup? In my case I don't have a mechanical chime and I am...
