Not sure of the question. Is it that you need a new transformer or a new chime?

I need a chime as the house chime isn’t high enough voltage. I’m assuming an Arlo chime 2 will work but without using the house chime how do I get proper power to doorbell? I’ve replaced the transformer with a 24V 10A version but don’t know how to wire it direct to doorbell wire.

What chime model do you have?

The simplest way is to set the switch on the power kit to bypass mode ("O"). That will prevent any current from the doorbell from running through the chime.
