is this compatible with electric/wired doorbells?

Yes, this is intended for wired doorbells ... simply take the cover off the chime on the wall in your house, and follow the extremely simple and clear instructions to attach the couple of wires to this/your existing chime ... just use the two wires labeled "Front Door" if you only have a front door bell, and use the third wire labeled "Back Door" also if you also have a rear doorbell. I like the two I previously ordered so much I just ordered a third one for my garage workshop! Great range. Great product.

Yes. Mine is wired. It is quite simple to install, as I am an elderly woman and I did it myself. You just take the cover off of your base unit inside the house and follow instructions.

I don't think so but be warned - I tried the wireless doorbells and they are useless. If the chime isn't close to the bell push, it doesn't work.

Yes. Just wire the transmitter into the existing door bell.... Theinstructions are asy to follow...

Yes. I have an electric wired doorbell. You must purchase a transmitter (comes with one remote) that you "wire" into your door bell on the wall that hopefully rings now. Very simple. That transmitter uses the electrical power from the door bell chime to send a wireless signal to the remote doorbell. I installed the transmitter and two extra remote doorbells, upstairs and basement.

Yes it can except there needs to be wired connection to make the camera and the doorbell work from outside your door.

Yes! We have a small Residential Assisted Living. With six residents in a 4,000 sq ft home, this "doorbell" has been the perfect solution to our need for a simple call-bell system. So many of the "official systems" out there are bloated and don't work well. The reasons I went with this is because Honeywell is a trusted manufacturer of electronics. They are reliable and I know that at 3am one of our residents won't be stranded with a dud call button. Great system!

sorry.... I guess I responded on the wrong doorbell =. If I would have looked at the picture, I would have known it was not the one we had trouble installing.

Yes, you can use it to add for example a doorbell to your Z-Wave network, but then you have to forgo the magnetic sensor part.

No. We had to get our neighbor (who is a builder) to come over and cut out a small part of the molding where the doorbell button was to be placed. I really like this doorbell button, however. It's different and adds charm to our home. I just read David B.'s response. Sounds as if we didn't have the same doorbell. We were replacing a wired doorbell, but this doorbell button would not fit into the space.

I have to be honest, I haven't had it installed yet. A couple of electricians that I had come had problems with it because I do not have a door buzzer for the doorbell. I also needed to purchase an adaptor for it, and I still don't have it in yet. I think if I didn't need it to connect to my door bell, it would be OK.

No, you'd have to have an electrician run wire to the location you want the second chime and purchase a "wired" chime for that location.

I would think so as each receiver could be programmed to that same doorbell button. One receiver would not know about the other. That is my GUESSS, but I think that it is a logical conclusion.

My first thought is that the transmitter uses the power when the doorbell unit is energized from the transformer power. This happens when the doorbell button switch is closed to complete the circuit. If the transmitter was wired in series with the transformer, I don't think the doorbell will work due to a high impedance required. Wiring in parallel with the transformer also would not work, since at that location, the power is always present. However, not having tried this, I can only speculate at this point.

Yes. As long as you install it properly. You need to take the service from the Magicjack before it goes to the phone system and connect it to the DoorBell Fon and then connect the output from the DoorBell Fon back to the phone system. The DoorBell Fon has and input and output RJ11 connection as well as a set of input and output terminals. Very simple operation and installation.

Dear Janet,Wiring instructions illustrations look more complicated than it is. Just connect the two wires to any low voltage tranformer. Just be gentle on the install. This is designed to connect to your existing doorbell transformer for power. If that's not your plan, you need a transformer to supply power. thank you for your interest!

I cannot verify, but i believe so! you are simply programming each system to one pushbutton. If you already have a wired doorbell, you can use this to extend. So when your wired pushbutton is pressed, your wired doorbell will ring downstairs and your wireless will ring upstairs

i think so, i sold my home and the doorbell worked perfect. i tried to just get an off-brand but nothing fit or worked so spent the money and glad i did. I remember it working on all the sysytems - mine was out of data but still gets used so (i would replace if i was just buying my hours.

Yes. There are two screws on the side of the unit (in the picture on Amazon it is on the left side) that allow you to connect your door bell wiring.

This will work pretty much universally. But, it is not plug and play. You will need to individually tap each wire. There are a lot of sites that provide model specific diagrams for adding alarm systems.

Thanks for your inquiry. This doorbell is wireless and the hard-wire one is not available on our store. So sorry for this.
