Can I spur from doorbell wiring?

[TheMiddle36]

Hi, I’m wanting to power my alarm hub from the same place that the doorbell is wired in to.

The hub is powered by a plug, rated 12v, 2a.

Can I use one of these from a spur at the doorbell (before the doorbell) to provide power to the hub: https://cpc.farnell.com/carel/tra12un100/transformer-240vac-12vac/dp/MC01881?st=240v transformer 12v

wire transformer in, chop off the connector from the existing hub power supply and wire it to the out put from the transformer?

Thanks,
TM

Yes

Cheers, I think i was overthinking things. That’s helped a lot. 3A fused fcu and inline dc ordered

I’m looking to do away with the plug and provide the power directly from a spur.

Could've told us that in the first place.....they still need supplying individually, though.
It's supplied with it's own plug and XFR for a reason. A plug in XFR is the usual thing,
manufactured for that particular job.
I'd like to see the plug you're going to 'do away with'.

I think we've cracked it - discard the original wall wart, attach an inline 12V 2A DC PSU, chop the fitted 13A plug off that and wire into the FCU.

I’ll go with this, apologies if I wasn’t clear at the start
