Pro 2 Doorbell - Power Level 1 but Poor voltage
hardwired-video-doorbell
troubleshooting
..installed a new 16v 30a transformer ...power level now shows 1 (strong transformer) but voltage is 15v and showing poor red status...i ran new 18gauge wire from transformer to where mechanical chime is located. I was going to install a 24v transformer but my Carlon DH506 is only rated 16v..i realize that the fact the doorbell (wired pro 2) is supposed to see 16-24v and that is why the poor status of 15v is showing...any idea how to correct?
the new transformer did allow me to turn on package alerts though

- RJust had my electrician install the Ring transformer as well. Power Level was 2, now it is Level 1 but the Device Health is reading low voltage. It was fine with the old transformer. Sounds like a bug.•

- TI found a 16.5 40VA transformer on amazon...swapped out with this new one..now doorbell fluctuates between 16v and 17v according to device health...not sure what helped...the extra half a volt or extra 10VA of power...all looks good now•

- RI installed a ring transformer and had the same fluctuations, although it indicates Power Level 1 and all works as expected. Called Support and they said to ignore the app reported issue. It can sometimes be wonky. Showed me Poor for awhile then changed to Good. 🤷♂️•
