Are you sure? Their website says it needs AC. Minimum of 16V and 30VA. Also says NOT to use a diode, which seems to imply no DC. It seem the Ring thing runs off battery and uses the 16-24 VAC to recharge the battery.

The product website says specifically not to use AC. It looks like I'm only getting a couple hundred milliamps, so I'll probably need a power supply in-line either way.

I would power it through a diode followed by a large capacitor so it does not reboot during a door bell press. However it may draw enough current to make the rest of the system think the door bell is being continually pressed. From: Jason McKemie Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2019 10:00 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Ring Doorbell DC We've got an older intercom system here at the house that has a standard outdoor two-wire button, but it has around 28vdc power when I test it. The Ring Doorbell requires AC, is there some way I can put a different power supply on it and still have the contacts shorted out to ring the bell at the intercom end of things? A relay of some sort? _____ -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
