| Feb 3, 2021 at 16:12 | comment | added | IWatson | I watched another you tube video where a 24 Volt AC relay was used with a 16v AC transformer with the same circuit and use that I'm using. The you tuber tested numerous 24v AC relays and they all work fine. So for those who are scratching their heads on my behalf, I'm quite sure I have my answer. It will work. Thanks to those who offered help and suggestions. | |

| Feb 3, 2021 at 5:32 | comment | added | IWatson | My post was about an AC Relay. Several have suggested a 20V DC relay or a circuit using a bridge rectifier for a DC Relay. Doorbell circuit use AC not DC. | |
