Ring Doorball Transformer for Three Hardwired Ring Pros
https://ring.com/products/hardwired-transformerWill this get rid of the hum in my chime and handle the existing hard-wired chime and my one Ring Chime Pro?This is a new installation and a lot is wrong. I'm thinking the existing transformer needs to be upgraded.Will 30VA in the replacement transformer be enough to handle all my devices? My current, 25-year-old transformer is 16V AC at 15VA.(A friend warned me that the gauge of the wire running through the house to the doorbells might be too small to handle the larger transformer. Is that really a concern?)

I hope Ring is not selling a transformer that won't handle three of their doorbells!! The existing hard-wired chime is on Ring's list of compatible chimes. In the worst case, I will bypass my existing chime if the three Rings will work.Ring surely knows the most common gauge of wired doorbell wires.

THi @user_1d79da. I suggest looking at this Help Center article here. This goes over the electrical requirements, including transformer requirements, for our Doorbells. You can also find information on what wire gauges are usable here. This Help Center article here has a wiring diagram for 3 Rin

Hi @user_1d79da. A Chime Pro just plugs into a wall outlet and is not in line with the Doorbell transformer. That transformer will power your Wired Doorbell Pro. As for it being enough for your chime, you will need to look into that with the manufacturer of your chime. I would also recommend consulting with a qualified electrician to look into your wire gauge concern.
