I’m getting the hang of it, I was a little intimidated at first, the instructions were confusing. I had to do a web search for every other sentence to know what they were referring to.

This one is a bit tricky because there was no existing doorbell. They had an old-fashioned bell with a roping from it, you would pull the rope and slightly knock on the door at the same time. I kind of liked it.

Turns out they want the doorbell on the gate at the street. There was an old telephone controlled intercom next to the gate, I took that out, and I may be able to send the low current up the same wires. If you don’t have the transformer supplied low amp DC voltage, the batteries will wear out in a few months or less. Or so, the instructions say.
