In this video we show you how to test your doorbell voltage. If you are planning on upgrading your doorbell to a smart doorbell it's a good idea to test your doorbell or doorbell transformer voltage so that you know if your new smart doorbell will work with the existing voltage your doorbell transformer and wiring provide.

To measure your doorbell voltage or doorbell transformer voltage you will need to remove your existing doorbell with the power still on and use a multimeter to measure the doorbell voltage at the doorbell. By setting the multimeter to the correct setting and measuring the doorbell voltage with a multimeter probe on each side of the doorbell you will be able to determine how much voltage your existing doorbell transformer produces.

Most smart doorbells require more than 10 volts of AC power but many will require at least 14-16V of AC power. Some doorbells require less than 10V and some even require up to 24V of AC power. Below we've listed several options for smart doorbells with less than 12V of power.
