Ring Video Doorbell
Do I need to use the Power Kit?
So my issue is similar in that I have no existing doorbell or doorbell wiring and I do not have any space in my consumer unit. Need to understand whether I need to use the Power Kit and where I would install it if necessary Here is what I have done Bought the Ring Doorbell Pro which comes with the transformer Wired in a spare plug that I rated to 3A for plugging into mains socket Cabled to the transformer using mains terminals 5 and 6 Fitted the transformer into a junction box or single consumer unit Ran a length of cable to the doorbell from terminals 1and 4 Wired to the doorbell Powered everything up and it is all good Doorbell showing over 4000mV on the App and it has been working fine ever since. Do I actually need to use the Power Kit given I have used the Ring Transformer and my power is ok

Hey, Thanks for coming back to me. That diagram shows 2 doorbell pros and 2 power kits? What is the diagram for one transformer, one doorbell? Doesn’t make it clear to me. Thanks

Good question @andysteve! If you have the [hardwired transformer](https://shop.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/hardwired-transformer), you will need to use the Pro Power Kit in the wiring. For instructions on this, check out the "Direct to Transformer" section of this [help center article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022454432-Wiring-Diagrams-for-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-Setup). If you are using the [plug-in adapter](https://shop.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/plug-in-adapter) as your power supply, no Pro Power Kit is needed. I hope this helps! :)
