Here is how I installed AD410 with Honeywell wired to wireless adapter and wireless chimes. I also used angle bracket and secured the camera/ bracket. Please note that I added chime as mechanical chime in Smart Home App, do not add as digital chime. In fact, I tested with mechanical chime before adding Honeywell wired to wireless adapter.
I followed the diagram on Amcrest web. The blue is Honeywell wired to wireless adapter. I don't use mechanical chime.
I installed old work fiberglass 2-gang to hide Honeywell adapter and Amcrest chime kit. Then 3D printed a chime holder to cover the recessed box.
Because I need more angle and a box to hide the connectors, an Adjustable (30 to 55 Degree) Angle Doorbell Mount works perfectly for what I need. I 3D printed the cover and secured plate with secured screws to prevent access to the underneath hole.
I have the adapter connects to 3 of Honeywell Home RDWL917AX2000/E for 3 floors.

Re: AD410 and Honeywell Wireless Chimes Installation
I really like Honeywell wireless chimes. Can install custom ring tone with mp3 format which I have bugle call, Star Wars, Century Fox themes. The wireless chime lacks about 2-3 seconds though but not a problem because AD410 will ring instantly at the door.
Re: AD410 and Honeywell Wireless Chimes Installation
Is the amcrest chimebox realy needed. I see you put both the chimekit and honeywell box parallel in serie. I believe the chime box is nothing more then a resistor for a real mechanical chime. Have you tested this without the chime kit?

@Stingone Hello and Welcome to the Forum.
Yes they would need to use the Amcrest Chime Kit when it is connected to a Chime or in this case a Chime to Wireless conversion. That is because in normal setup without a Chime the Doorbell camera would have the power going Directly to the Camera, In this case there is 1 wire to the Camera One from the camera going to Chime Relay, The other part of the Transformer is going to the second part of the Chime Relay. Issue is if you don't use Chime Kit at that area the doorbell won't get full voltage to power on. (Or might depending on Circuit of the device connected but would Ring Full time as it passes though) The Chime Kit is more then just a Resistor. There is a Circuit inside that works to pass voltage and absorbs the voltage that is caused when the doorbell button is pressed. Passes it when just running and suppresses it when button is pressed. A Resistor you might be thinking about is normally in a Heat sink because they would get hot enough to melt that Plastic Amcrest Chime Kit case.

Works like a charm, first forgot to change it to mechanical chime. But now working. Delay is the same as with the original Honeywell buttonRevo2Maxx wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2023 1:21 pm @Stingone Hello and Welcome to the Forum.

Re: AD410 and Honeywell Wireless Chimes Installation
I have been trying to get this to work. I have my Black Transformer wire going to AC1 and the Black Doorbell Wire to A1. I have the chime kit wires going into each of those, but my doorbell will not turn on. I thought it was the transformer, but I changed that as well. Do you guys have any other suggestions?
Re: AD410 and Honeywell Wireless Chimes Installation
Hello and Welcome to the Forum.. IF you are using a Ad410 with a 16vac 30va Transformer and it should work. If it isn't working 2 things can be tried. 1 connect to a USB power supply This will need to be a higher power then most PCs offer so one from a DVR/NVR can work or if you happen to have a 2amp USB supply like from Amcrst mini indoor PT camera. If you get it to connect while it is connected to USB and can't get it to connect to AC then the camera has been damaged. I have repaired a few of these and Lorex doorbells as well. To get to the repair area requires the whole system to be removed from the body of the doorbell camera.. If it is new from Amcrest or Auth reseller for Amcrest like Amazon bought from Amcrest Direct user on there then i would look at getting a RMA for your camera. If this camera isn't connected right when setup the camera will need repair.
Be Safe.

Do you have a picture of the process? And will this also work if you don't have a physically connected AD410?Revo2Maxx wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2023 1:21 pm @Stingone Hello and Welcome to the Forum.
