🔌 The Problem: Powering Smart Doorbells Reliably at Low Voltage

Smart doorbells are increasingly popular in Indian homes, but many models operate on 5V or 12V DC—requiring a stable, low-voltage power supply. If connected directly to the AC mains or unregulated DC, you risk damaging the circuit or causing erratic performance.

🛠️ The Solution: Use a Buck Converter or SMPS Module

To safely step down 230V AC to a usable low DC voltage, use a mini SMPS module or buck converter. These are compact, efficient, and easy to integrate into your doorbell housing or junction box. Look for ones with overload protection and thermal cutoff.

🧪 Practical Example

Say your smart doorbell needs 5V at 500mA. A 230V AC to 5V DC mini SMPS module is a perfect fit. Connect it across your AC wires, and the regulated 5V output can directly power the doorbell.

🔢 Sample Calculation

Power required = Voltage × Current
= 5V × 0.5A = 2.5W

Choose a 5V/1A SMPS to ensure headroom and avoid overheating.
