  Ironic, device that keeps your home safe can burn your home down.

  Why the hell does this thing have a lithium ion battery in it? Do we have intermittent power to our doorbells in some settings? I am struggling with the scenario where this makes sense.

    I assume this is needed to be able to handle triggering the doorbell chime in series without disrupting other communication or resetting the doorbell.

    I thought most doorbells didn’t have power to them directly. They’re just dumb switched

  TL;DR: He used 30v instead on 24v, that broke the device.
