Would this make a good replacement doorbell, and would I still need to buy another transformer?

Yes, I love it. You need anything special to connect it. I highly recommend this door bell..

It worked with the transformer from my chime. You will need to add a diode (supplied) to one of the door push buttons.

I think so, because it it has a little plugin so a transformer might work, I bought this one for my granddaughter haven't seen her for a while.

It has the expanded functionality to do so, but is not included in this purchase. This doorbell will work with this particular motion detector, supposedly: RCA902N1004/N

I do not know if a replacement timer is available but I seem to recall seeing that you could plug the transformer into an external timer. One of those should be readily available and inexpensive. Hope that works if all attempts to find the internal timer fail.

it depends how many watts you need. If your item needs a power less than 300 or 400 Watt the transformer will be enough

I have had to replace one unit due to power surge from lightining. Assuming your 120vac source is good, (test or have tested by competent persons), open the outer and inner doors and inspect the contacts. If the transformer output is 24vdc, check the circuit board on both sides, (a few phillips screws will remove it from the housing), for signs of over heat or shorting out. If no visible signs exist, contact Orbit customer service http://www.orbitonline.com/contact or 8004886156. They are extremely helpful.

Yes, as long as your existing hard wiring is in working order, this doorbell/intercom is all you should need.

If i saw the right product then i would give you a big maybe. Unfortunately their product description isnt very descriptive. It looks like it runs through a transformer and i cant say how that will effect things. You could try it and it shouldnt hurt anything, but i cant guarantee anything. Best advice is pick up a model with a regular plug if you want to be sure.

I think not, at this price cheaper to replace unit, it seems to be a disposable world. Back up all on old Transend while the battery lasts!! Mike

I am unable to to verify if it would work as a replacement. I used this to replace a much older 473v remote and was still able to successfully pair it with my alarm. I think it will work as a replacement but as to its complete functionality i am unable to ascertain. ( Check review)

My first thought is that the transmitter uses the power when the doorbell unit is energized from the transformer power. This happens when the doorbell button switch is closed to complete the circuit. If the transmitter was wired in series with the transformer, I don't think the doorbell will work due to a high impedance required. Wiring in parallel with the transformer also would not work, since at that location, the power is always present. However, not having tried this, I can only speculate at this point.

I would think it depends on the power (Watts) of both together. If they together need less then 200, then I think it should work. Remembre you should not run transformers on their maximum, so if you buy a 200, then I wouldn't plug in more then lets say 180..

it will work but you have to count the number of wires you on your transformer. good luck

I'm really not sure. I used this because I was replacing a doorbell type Genie switch.

I live in a double wide,bricked up to conform as a house. That doorbell will work good. The volume control is so good, that you can stick it in one side of the house, and when it rings you can hear it in the the other side. the wife yells at me to turn the volume down. It works real good.

I'm sorry, I don't know that answer. I am using it as is, out of the box. It is the best doorbell I've ever owned.
