Review on πŸ”Œ Advanced 24V 40VA Transformer for Nest, Ecobee, Sensi, Honeywell Thermostat & Nest Hello, Ring Doorbell (Style 1) by Chris Anderson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Inaccurate Voltage: Electrical

Bought because it was recommended countless times for doorbell cameras. However, this transformer generates more than 24V, causing my Logitech Surround View doorbell to constantly overheat and the camera to stay warm for a few days before eventually shutting down. The 27+ volt output from this transformer is above the 24V limit of my camera. In addition, the transformer itself is very hot. I had to turn off the device and let it cool down a bit before removing it. This transformer might be perfect for a dual camera setup, but it doesn't work with my Logitech Circle View doorbell. I took a 16VAC/30VA to HD transformer which works great.

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION: Screws or screw clip onto control box, easy wire connection; Please note: the above trademarks are for compatibility purposes only;
Cons
