So, without putting any significant extra load on the battery system
or replacing the bell etc, is there an existing solution that provides
positive feedback for a successful press of the doorbell or can anyone
think of something that could be made / done that would provide such?

Is a second cheap battery doorbell wired in parallel and mounted just
inside the front door too obvious?

It might have been ... depending on how I would wire it up?

Assuming it's the same model, would the idea be that the first unit
powers the second and both operate when you press the button?

Um no.


Wouldn't they have to be in series to do that (one without the battery
circuit) and then they would both be working on half the voltage
(unless I replace the battery with a 12V one)?

Two battery doorbells, wired €œin parallel€� to the same bell push.


If both were powered and commoned at the same bell push, wouldn't
there be the need for diodes on both 'lives' to the bell push so that
they didn't leak voltage back to each other (that would be fairly
doable).

Dont see why they should need that. Theyll both be open circuit until the
push is pressed.


Or have I miss something more obvious?

I guess a small relay (coil) in series with the first and actuating
the second could also work?


I think youre over-complicating things.
