    Door bell button prewire for future flexibility?

    Our house is under construction and they will soon stone the front. Ive decided I want a POE version and am going with the Ring Elite. All the pics indicate a low voltage box.

    I've had a similar issue when I upgraded to the module. I realized that the firmware on the xep was very old and didn't meet the minimum version number that universal devices requires. A simple update resolved any issues I had.
