Hi,
I purchased a relay and relay base in order to control my doorbell whilst using a Nest Hello: the Nest product takes 24V, whereas the doorbell only wants 8V. So the relay closes the circuit when receiving power from the Nest and the doorbell is separately powered by an 8V transformer.
All fine, and it works the first time. However, the relay REMAINS ON after the doorbell has been pressed. That isn't what I wanted! What I want is for the relay to turn off straight away, so it's ready for the next press.
The relay I'm using is part number R15-2012-23-5024-WTL. I've actually tried 2 of them thinking the first one was faulty, but the issue exists with both. This is described as "DPDT Non-Latching Relay Plug In, 24V ac Coil" so should be the correct one.
I have the 24V supply going into pins 2 and 7, and the relay coming out from 1 and 3. My base has 2 places labelled "7", one of which has an up-and-down arrow on it. But if I try to use that one, nothing happens at all - I had thought perhaps that was the non-latching pin.
Any help would be HUGELY welcome with this fairly straight-forward issue.
Thank you,
Jeremy
