Default How to have several identical wireless doorbells respond to thesame code?

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.


But how did you know which door had the visitor?
