Cable tie will be fine. And we always clip our cables, don’t we?

Thank you very much. I have been talking on another forum and a guy has installed the ring pro doorbell this way, using the transformer included in the pack and it works a treat ! He has the enclosure secured on the wall and the cables all tidy and safe. Thank you.

Cable ties do not provide suitable restraint you are giving poor advise.

Are you sure? How many cables have you seen tied to trunking?

 

[westward10]

Be interesting to see how you would use cable ties at that enclosure as the entire cover comes off leaving the base.

This is how someone has installed the transformer in the enclosure and secured it to the wall.

Could you guys advise if that adapter would be suitable for this doorbell which needs AC (8~12V)?

The back plate is the same as the ring so
could you guys also give me a link to the connectors which screw into the holes at the back of the bell?

Thanks

If this is the same one on Amazon then it didn't get good reviews.

This looks like the transformer that is in the pic

or you could just fit something like......

But where is the fun in that.... when you can stick an item costing between £85 to £400 on your door... So someone can smash it off and take it..

Thanks for your reply. Are you saying the Dantech wouldnt work then? I have no fusebox experience.

Is the one I linked to on Amazon the one you are getting?
If so then I would go with the transformer I linked in post #25 as it is the same one that is in the manual..

Many thanks Spoon, I'm sorry I didnt fully contemplate your post 25 as I had trouble with the links at first. Firstly, do you have a link to the review? I can't find an Amazon review for the same bell and any way I got it a lot cheaper than the Ebay one and it keeps connected to my wifi outside the door were a more expensive Proxima doorbell I tried and returned about 6 weeks ago kept disconnecting.
In regards to my coment about not having fusebox experience, this was because the Amazon picture has the transformer fixed into a fusebox. However, I now think the transformer can be wired to a spur from a mains socket. The transformer is to be fixed to a lath and plaster wall, so I need to consider if fixing directly to this wall is OK and can I make a wooden enclosure or what enclosures maybe suitable. Would be greatful for suggestions and again, thanks.
