I have this amazing wireless doorbell. I've mounted the chimer on a
little wooden stand that I can move from room to room. However, I'm
not always in the room where the chime is. So, for example, in winter
I have the kitchen door closed to conserve heat, but if the chime is
currently in the hall I may not hear it.

Even if I bought another couple of these (they're not expensive), they
would each have their own bell push and each "pair" would respond to a
randomly different code. This is done to minimise the likelihood of a
neighbour's bell chiming when your doorbell is rung.

Could the component parts (bell push, chime unit) be modified so that
several chime units would respond to the same trigger code?

For our last house I bought three identical bell push/chime (well, bell,
but the principle's the same) units. They have a DIP switch inside that
sets the code they respond to (to stop your neighbours chime responding
to your bell push). I set the codes to all be the same, and then any bell
push would set off all three chimes. The pushes were outside the front
and back doors (+ a spare) and the chimes distributed round the house.

What were these (make, model)?

Alternatively, the Wickes units I have in this house came with one push
and two chimes - one plugs into the mains and one has batteries. The
push sets off both chimes. IIRC, these too have DIP switches.

I'll look on the Wickes website. Never thought, to be honest, about
using the mains, even though I do use the mains for my TP-Link plugs!

My suggestion is check to see if your existing units have switches in
them, and if they do, buy some identical ones, or failing that, start
again with a model that has DIP switches and buy several of them as I
did.

The only switch is on the chimer and it merely sets the tune to select
(from about 20!).
