All Purpose Door Bell

Super cute for our old house with a very loud 'vintage' buzzer sound. It's exactly what you would expect for 12 bucks. Simple and works. Absolutely nothing fancy about this. I love it. I just replaced our old chime from the 80's. We have original 100 year old wiring. I detached the wires and connected them to this one and with two mounting screws, good to go. That may not be everyone else's experience or set up. Ours was that easy. I will more than likely tape off the insides and give this a 'oil rubbed bronze' coat of spray paint to have it blend in better with OG hardware. Don't be afraid to take the cover off with a #1 flathead/slotted screwdriver. It's not gonna break on you. Instructions are terrible so take advantage of the few videos on here. If you have an existing door bell, this may be as easy as it was for me to swap out. Good luck!

Low voltage Bell, was exactly what I wanted... For my particular use, I just wanted to use a simple noise, to send, strays away, from my lawn, rather than going to the door, to shout at them. I'd prefer not to have my yard, become an outhouse for the neighborhood strays, or someone's pooch, which the figure out (incorrectly) is entitled to use anyone's property's as a their pet's toilet. Easily wired project. And price point was just right for the simple little noise maker. I'll likely put a infrared sensor, to set it off, without any necessity to observe anything. I'm not without kindness for the neighborhood animals ... However I didn't intend for my property, to be noted, as that place you have to hold your nose shut 🤭, just to walk by.

I replaced my old doorbell. With this and let me tell you my house is four stories big and I can hear it throughout the house. Regular house bills don't do the job this is a quality Bell....

This is definitely a cheap doorbell. I wanted it because it does not sound like my neighbor's on the other side of the same wall. I'm not sure which is louder, the relay inside it or the bell itself. I get a buzzing-ringing sound together. It is cheap and it does work.

I bought this as I have hearing problem and needed a loud doorbell. First of all there is no instructions as how to connect the wires. You have to open up the back and figure out where to connect the wires. Then I was waiting to be surprised by a loud buzz, it can hardly be heard by my kids that have normal hearing. It is a piece of junk and I will send it back.

It's a bell and it rings like a bell. Metal construction feels solid and installation was easy. Size is smaller than your average contractor-grade chime box. Exactly what I needed and nothing more. Works perfectly wired to my Eufy E340 via the original transformer.

Controlled with my Arduino and powered with 5Vdc , my son is starting homeschooling online with live classes, got this for a "school bell" as it would be, but also connected to my ring doorbell via IFTTT and MQTT and my standard doorbell button (through the Arduino so I can still get an alert).

"Newhouse Hardware APB1 All Purpose Door Bell" These are reasonably loud even at 3 volts. The sound is more of a buzz than a bell -- but it is loud enough without being excessive. A lot better and more distinct than the chirping 1000 Hz you hear everywhere, especially if you're hearing is impaired. You can adjust the voltage and ringer distance from the bell to customize the the sound if you wanted, though I don't have a reason to do that. === Revised: Rating cut from 5 stars to 3 stars. After some period of use, I found this to be unreliable at lower voltages. That is, the hammer sticks in a position which will cause the bell to not ring. Current draw is considerable (several amps) at 12 VDC but it's more reliable. A close inspection of the contacts (because it proved unreliable) shows they do not line up well. In fact, less than 1/2 of the contact surface mates properly. Moreover, the metal cannot be bent easily to make the contacts line up properly (if at all). Switching to 16 VAC and hopefully it won't burn up.
