I work from home in a workshop at the bottom of my garden and have tried a
number of wireless doorbells without too much success. The doorbell is on
the front door as you would expect and my workshop is probably about 60ft
away. The trouble is the house is in the way and I don't get anything like
the range that they state on the packaging.

Which ones have you tried? some of the Friedland ones claim an upto 200m
range.

I'm currently using a Byron
doorbell with the bell units which plug into the mains.

Whats wrong with using that then?

I also have a
battery powered repeater (is that what it's called?) which is supposed to
extend the range.The repeater is positioned on the wall between the kitchen
and the hall and is about 15ft from the doorbell. Any further away and it
doesn't seem to work- and that's with a new battery in the bell push.

You can get well with Friedland ones, I guess other makes as well) an
internal transmitter that you use instead of the external bell push -
for using a different push etc. I assume this can be mounted on the end
of a cable. I wonder if it could be mounted in the house nearer to the
workshop.
