OK, so I've bought an Ezviz DB1. I now need some advice on how to set it up for my situation.
My policy on all Home Automation kit is that it must be capable of working offline in case the router or internet go down. No point having fancy lights if they don't work when the router crashes.
Because of this, I'd like to wire up the DB1 with a mechanical chime. I don't have existing doorbell wiring I can use as the old one was battery operated and got ripped out when we replaced the door a few weeks back.
I also don't have an easy route from the fuse box to install a transformer there.
My plan is to drill through the wall and install a plug in PSU, which will connect to a chime. Has anyone else done a similar thing and what kit did you buy to achieve it?
Can I buy one of these:
and one of these
then just hook them together according to this?
