To be more specific. My Elan system uses a Elan C2 commuincations controller for the doorbell. The controller recieves the doorbell triger then sounds the chime over the whole house through the A/V speakers.The doorbell itseldf is a simple 2 wire setup. If I new the voltage was right I think it would work.

Ring is owned by Amazon and they want to make their own retail grade automation platform, I would be shocked if high end automation platforms would bring in any since the product is just not up to par with these systems standards. I work with ELAN and Ring is just not the way to go. Doorbird or the ELAN video doorbell blow it away.

I have an Elan system also. It is a very simple 2-wire system. The doorbell rings just by touching two wires together. Unfortunately, the Ring doorbell will not activate the doorbell. It can’t even make a simple connection when pressing the button. The Ring has a battery that will operate the ring function on my phone but can’t ring the simple 2 wire doorbell. I have 14 volts going to the doorbell, but the “tech” on the phone says it needs 16 volts. Unfortunately, the Elan system doesn’t put out 16+ volts. Not impressed with the Ring system. Any solution?

I installed a transformer that outputs either 16 or 24 volts. After installing, the status of the Ring now shows as hardwired. I also installed a relay to integrate with the Elan system. It didn’t work immediately, but after digging in further I found that there are settings in the Ring menu that

Here is the Elan manual I found online. I used page 22 for relay connection diagram. https://elan.manymanuals.com/audio-amplifiers/z-600/installation-manual-45689/22
