Hi @Pedro2, happy to chime in for Tom and clarify this. As mentioned in the Help Center Article that was shared, A resistor is **REQUIRED** in place of a mechanical or electronic doorbell kit for this alternate configuration to work successfully. The specs for the required resistor are: 25 Ohm, 50 Watt, wirewound resistor. I hope this helps. :)

@Pedro2 The transformer must be a low voltage 8-24V AC transformer. If you have any further questions about wiring, I would recommend consulting a licensed electrician as I've shared all of the information we have available on how to wire your Video Doorbell Generation 2 directly to a transformer. :)
