Doorbell 2 loosing charge
I have a Video Doorbell 2 that was hard-wired. It appears the chime in my home has a transformer that was too strong for the doorbell. When wired up, the chime would be constantly engaged (as if someone was holding down the doorbell button) causing the electric motor to overheat. I purchased a Ring Pro Powerkit Version 2. I installed it on the chime and that solved the problem of the chime being engaged. However this caused the signal to the doorbell button to be too weak and the battery began to slowly loose charge and not ring the chime when the button was pressed.So I disconnected the wires and purchased a solar panel and some Ring chimes. Set everything up. The solar panel has unobstructed western sun, but is still loosing charge. Would it cause issues if I had both the transformer wires and the solar panel wires attached to the doorbell?
