    Hi,

    I don't know much about electronics, I'm going to install a Fibaro central unit in the flat I'm finishing, I want to connect a Fibaro binary module to the circuit of a doorbell (ding dong), in order to have information about the fact of ringing and to disconnect the circuit, e.g. after 10 p.m., so that no one is awakened by the bell in the night.

    I know you need a 12 V power supply for it. All under the plaster.

    Can you please explain to a layman in simple terms how to splice the wires together and what kind of power supply to buy so that it doesn't heat up and isn't unnecessarily too powerful? Thanks!

    You need to say something more about the bell. What voltage do you have there? 12V or 24V? Then we will choose you some kind of power supply. You need to connect it as in figure 5 from the manual.

    The bell is on 230V. I would like the Fibaro module to send information to the control panel that someone has used it, etc.

    e.g. Relay output , "Out 1", powering the bell from 220VAC.

    If you could make it simpler, like a retard, I would appreciate it.

    One wire to OUT 1 from(L) mains. the other wire from OUT 1 to the bell and from the bell to(N) 220 VAC mains.

    Right. And the 12V power supply I was told to buy for this Fibaro module? How do I connect it? :P

    UBS + relay consumption is so small that any 12V relay will do, probably in your case you will need an aftermarket one to hide it somewhere permanently, so e.g. no. of allegro auction 5020821401. You connect it as described. 230V to the mains somewhere, and 12V and GND to the sensor.

    Some fitter said that the question is whether the bell works by short circuit or otherwise and that he does not know how to connect a 230V bell to a 12 V binary module. In addition, the power supplies are 5 and 10W.

    I want to change to you :P .

    Are there any companies from Wroclaw that deal with the installation of such a thing? The grooves and box will be done, only the cables to be done....

    @ePassionate What's the ringer that the ,,fitter?" can't connect ? What is the fitter for ? From assembling space shuttles or what ? Output OUT 1 or 2 is plugged into the place of the button of this bell !

Topic summary

The discussion addresses connecting a Fibaro binary module (FGBS-321) to a 230V doorbell circuit to monitor ringing events and control the bell operation, such as disabling it after 10 p.m. The doorbell operates on 230VAC, while the Fibaro module requires a 12V power supply. The recommended wiring involves using the module's relay output (OUT 1) to replace the doorbell button: one wire from the live mains (L) to OUT 1, another from OUT 1 to the bell, and the bell connected back to neutral (N). The 12V power supply for the module should be low power (5-10W) and efficient to avoid overheating; any standard 12V relay with low consumption is suitable. Some confusion arose regarding integrating a 230V bell with a 12V module, but the solution is to use the relay output to switch the 230V circuit directly. Installation considerations include hiding the relay and ensuring proper cable routing. The official Fibaro manual (FGBS-321) provides wiring diagrams, specifically figure 5, for reference.
