Google hello Install

After doing the compatibility check online everything seemed OK, I got my wife to check and there was 2 cables, as I was working away I just bout it thinking that my chime box would be the same as I the videos...... but its not.
On the videos for installation there's 2 easy cables front and transparent but I side my one it's totally different. Has anyone had experience fitting there one that could give me some pointers.

I can't help with the chime but there is an alternative.

Google mini speakers can be picked up regularly for like £19.

It's a small smart speaker and they can act as a chime for you.

I have 2 small nest hubs and 2-3 Google minis.

So if someone rings the doorbell you can hear it anywhere in the house even if someone is doing the hoover, using a hairdryer, etc.

So you could get rid of the chime and get a mini for £19 and stick it in the hallway or better still get a few and take advantage of smart speaker technology.

Not an expert here but fairly sure you ignore the two on the left, looks like you've got a mains powered one rather than a battery powered one hence these wires.

The ones on the right are the ones you'll be needing to connect. The pair of wires is likely for a back and front door push so you might need to test which is which.

I did an install thread about a year ago and labelled how mine was connected up, it might be of some use.

But I couldn't advise how it gets connected up without looking at the manual again.

Been looking online and at my chime manual as well and it seems what your saying matches, but looks like the in built transformer isn't enough to give it constant power, could be more work than I first thought
