Honeywell Home DC915SCV Honeywell Home 9 Series doorbell Converter kit White

I have a Nest Video Doorbell connected to a very old chime which my wife likes. Unfortunately could not be heard in certain parts of the house so I connected a relay to the chime circuit and used it to initiate the Honeywell wireless transmitter.The receiver can be moved anywhere in the house and reliably sounds when the door bellIs pressed. Very pleased with the result.Using a normal bell push the installation would be very straightforward.Currently I am powering the sounder with a USB adapter plugged into a mains socket rather than use batteries.

These bells are fantastic. They are loud, easy to pair with the bell push and last well on batteries.My only complaint is the lack of decent instructions. I purchased this set to upgrade an existing set of bells and try as I might, I could not get it to ring. It was paired correctly because the lights came on when the button was pushed.I thought it was muted, but I couldn't find any Honeywell instructions on how to un-mute it. After some searching, I found, you guessed it, a YouTube video that explained how to un-mute it by pressing the top button 6 times in succession. If only the instructions had said that, or, its default setting was to ring as loud as it can, it is after all, a door "bell". But I am difficult and want a bell that makes a noise, not one that is silent and you have to guess the bell has been rung!

This is brilliant as a repeater for our front doorbell. Our house is reasonably large and my hearing is not what it used to be, so I kept missing the doorbell. Not anymore with this placed at the back of the house. The presentation and quality of this unit is excellent.It was a tad tricky to follow the installation instructions because they are all pictorial and a little small. However I eventually got there and couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Very happy.

Used with a nest doorbell battery, wired in to mains.Overall: Massive disappointment and shame and poor design decisions. Almost like they did zero testing.Pros:Nice designWago style connectors are a good IDEA...Speaker quality is very niceFlashing lights are goodCustomisable tones are niceAbility to mute for a period is goodCons:Battery in wireless transmitter lasts a week at most. Tested this with every brand including the best weatherproof cells, nope, just constantly drains. Up to 2 years they say? They lie.Wireless transmitter Wago connectors snap just by touching them. Too small, too fragile.USB Micro means it's legacy, and these connectors ALWAYS fail, why isn't it USB-CAs such, overall it is utterly useless and not fit for purpose.Maybe it's a bad batch? Well try calling customer 'support' and endure their utter disdane for customers. 'Have you tried reconecting it'. No course I haven't you absolute genius.Returned after fighting with it.Went with Lloytron wireless transmitter and plug-in chime instead. Installed it in 15mins, worked instantly and the battery is a 5year A23, so expecting this to last far longer. Why they can't pull from the 12V feed directly and charge a capacitor is beyond me, this battery lark is like a solar-powered torch.

Used to add to an existing mains powered "standard" doorbell chime.wired the transmitter as per the guide so (see image):- AC1 and AC2 are wired onto the transformer contacts within the existing chime- one wire from the switch - the end not connected directly to the transformer (again in the chime) to contact A1worked first time - no issues to report (the hardest part in all honesty was drilling the mounting holes - and that's a 2 min job).pros:- range seems ok, I'm using mine for my office upstairs which is a mere 20M at most thru brick and wooden flooring (getting annoyed at the deliveries I keep missing because I cannot hear the existing chime!)- for installation, on the rear of the transmitter is a switch, so u can test the link between transmitter and remote chime unit prior to fully plugging it in (the transmitter is comprised of 2 parts: a terminal block part, and the main body encasing the actual transmitter: the terminal block screws to the wall, then the other half simply plugs into it).- remote chime unit can be powered by USB instead of batteries, so ideal for me in that when my works laptop is on, the chime unit is also on, and when my laptop is not on, well ...- lights and sounds on the remote chime unit is good: it will get your attention if it's on your desk like mine is, irrespective of headphones usage. I simply needed something that would chime, I don't need MP3 playback, which I don't think this model supports (and i really don't want to hear Rod Hull singing "there's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door!". UK readers: sorry if this comment invokes painful memories of Emu and the pink windmill from your childhood)Cons:- whilst I have a sound knowledge of electronics (so for me it was pretty simple to understand and how to "tap in" to existing powered setups), I can see the confusion for people whom are not so, as the guide isnt as clear as it could be (a common complaint with other feedback here): doesn't really explain how these can be wired in parallel with an existing setup: hence I have noted down how i've got mine setup above (with image). u don't need to remove any wiring for an existing powered setup, just need to "tack on" to the existing connections.- it's a pity the transmitter does NOT use the transformer voltage for power, it needs the CR2032 battery, and I cannot comment on battery life just yet (only been up for about a week)also to note:- if u are wiring to an existing powered connection, check the voltages with a multi-meter on your transformer prior to purchase/wiring in: recommended 8-12V AC on the transformer output.all in all, I'm happy with it.

Good:- This seems a good piece of kit so far, the chime can be as loud as you like and the visual display is handy if you have impaired hearing.Bad:- Along with many others I found the instructions extremely bad. I bought this to connect to an existing wired chime unit and had to search online for wiring details, there is also a comprehensive review from PingsLife with photo of his wiring which helped. I only used the connection to AC1 (transformer supply) and A1 (from push button) and it works. See photo of Honeywell online instructions (don't know why they’re not in the box).
