    Hello.

    I have such a trivial problem.

    I was out of the house for a while while the backyard porch was undergoing a small renovation.
    Rigips were put in and everything related to it. The electrical installation was also installed and there was to be a door bell.
    Generally speaking, the rigipsy worker assured me that he would understand these topics and put installations all over the room, and finally I would take an electrician and he would connect everything.
    The expert did everything, took the money and the contact is now broken, and there is probably a problem with the doorbell.
    In general, he did so that from the power box goes the electric wire to the bell and from the switch to the bell.
    In general, wires are not connected to either the doorbell or the doorbell switch.
    I wanted to try to connect it myself, but I think it should be connected differently.
    In general, the installation at the moment is as follows:

    The doorbell switch looks like this:

    And the bell diagram like this:

    I admit that I do not really know what to do now and is this installation properly connected? Possibly, if not, is it possible to save it somehow and make it fulfill its function, of course, without breaking the walls, because it is no longer possible ...

    It will be fine, but ask someone who knows (electrician) to connect it, you better not try to figure it out, because it's dangerous :D .

    Qbuś thanks.

    But I understand that the installation is generally not connected properly?

    Nevertheless, I would like to ask for a drawing or a hint on what to do, connect.
    I would like to put it together myself, or at least I need to know how it will be connected to put the bell on the wall, make a hole and finish the walls. In general, with safety, it is easy to find an electrician to check everything and connect to the network himself.
    For now, the power cables are sucked not connected to the box in the house, so there is no electricity there.
    However, before the arrival of the electrician, he needs to have everything covered, so that he will come, check and connect it when it is ok.

    Buy a wireless doorbell.

    The only thing that could be attached here are the colors of the wires between the bell and the button.

    There is a blue wire (the color of the neutral wire) and a yellow-green wire (the color of the protective wire).

    You already have the connection diagram drawn up, you just have to adapt to it. If you don't know how to do this, ask an electrician for help.

    The correct diagram is in the photo. This is, I believe, the instruction of this chime. The cable should go from the power box through the switch to the chime. And your installation looks like that both wires meet in the chime. Call an electrician and let it all connect nicely.

    I know from experience that most gongs have enough space to make connections with WAGO connectors. It is enough to disconnect it all nicely in the bell and it will be as it should be.

    This way of arranging the cables has another advantage. In the case of replacing the bell with a wireless one (button), with 230 V power supply (bell), you can connect the bell button to the relay release contacts and then the bell is controlled from two places (wireless button and door button). Of course, there is the question of colors.

    The only correct solution.
    The 3-core power cord is led from the power supply to the button box, the other - 3-core cable from the button box (switch) to the chime.
    In the switch box, connect the yellow and green wires together, the blue wires together, and connect the brown wires to the switch contacts. That's all.
