The chime is mechanical. The chime that I am dealing with is very similar to this one: https://picclick.co.uk/Knight-And-Gibbons-London-Servants-Bell-Battery-Operated-153119952514.html   I'm not able to find a volt rating on the chime itself. The old power supply for the unit was a 10vdc driver...

I have another question for ya.   I have a similar install where this application has been necessary, however, the chime is a little different. There is not a separate transformer that powers the chime, but since connecting the chime to 12vDC engages the bell, I tried this exact same wiring but...

Good news, the doorbell just worked successfully!!   When I initially hooked up all of these components I must have done something wrong because the 924 was tripping constantly. I was messing around with resistors of greater values and forgot to remove one of them from the setup when I tested it...

Sorry it's been so long since I've taken another crack at this. I really appreciate your help.    I wired everything up again, per your diagram, and I no longer have the constant ringing issue and the skybell powers up as it should. . However, I can still not get the Skybell to trip the 930...

The clamp on reader reads .13amps being drawn when only the skybell is wired to the transformer

Am I supposed to wire the skybell in-series with the same resistor as before correct? I tried the way that you described with the skybell wired in-series, as before, and it was constantly ringing the chime. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? I even played around with different resistors a bit...

Correct, I am using 16V to power everything. I gave it another go with the exact resistor you mentioned (happened to have a big pack of them) and no dice.    My thought was to use the open collector input to close the doorbell terminal on the back of the chime, thus causing it to ring. This...

I have a bit of a unique situation that has me pulling my hair out. I have a Skybell HD video doorbell that I need to trigger an ELK 930 in order for a Euro Style chime to be activated. The chime itself is very simple, the 16v line connects to terminals to power the device, then a doorbell is...
