Ring Video Doorbell
High Voltage Ring Wired
I originally set up my transformer at 24v, and the Device Health section of the app said the voltage is at 39v and is too high. So I set the voltage to 16v, and checked it with a multimeter. It says there is 18.7v coming from the transformer, yet the Ring app is still saying there is 39v. The voltage from the wires that I connected to the Ring device corresponded with the reading I got from the transformer, so why is it reading 39v? Anyone out there have this problem? I am using a Hampton Bay transformer. The Ring app is trying to get me to purchase a Ring transformer. Maybe this is just a marketing technique? Thank you for your help.

I have that error code too!! I replaced the existing transformer with a 16V 20VA transformer and it’s still reading 37V! How long did it take to recalibrate?

Hi. Is this resolved now? I have a Ring.transformer with a Ring Pro and it says my voltage is too high at 30v. It is telling me to disconnect the wires and get a new 24v transformer. Please advise Thanks

I have same issue with my app telling me to disconnect the wires to avoid damage to my doorbell. Customer services told me the resister could be failing and if I wanted to I could replace it, but also said I could just leave it as it is it shouldn't cause any issues and just to ignore it. Not very reassuring when the app shows 'Danger' in red writing! Anyone got any further updates re this?

Just a heads-up, for anyone who has this problem: our Ring is now saying transformer power is good. Maybe it takes a while for the system to update. Yeah, I was worried about it. I’m not the most handy person on earth, so installing the doorbell took me all day, following the instructions and being deliberate about my work. So really didn’t need any problems. Y’all take care and have a good one.
