Good morning Tim,

Hi Tim!

I have a device that is essentially a microphone placed near your
doorbell chime 9powered by 4 AA batteries (or maybe AAA) that then
transmits to an AC powered ringer that you plug into a convenient
outlet.

The problem is, I don't have a 'convenient outlets' near the front
door. ;-(

Here is one from Home Depot:

Now this unit is 120V, and I have no idea if you have Home Depot stores
in your 240VAC country, but there must be something similar.

Yeah, there are a few similar things available over here and even a
doorbell that allows you to hook up a conventional wired / battery
bell and trigger a wireless one, again, I didn't really want to have
anything 'else' if I could get away with a small buzzer / sounder
inside the front door. That would help the Mrs hear it as she's
normally just the other side of the internal wall in the lounge. ;-)


The pickup
units batteries seem to last 2-3 years, and it rarely false triggers,
unless I slam the closet door it is mounted near.

Hehe.


We had the similar thing again this morning ... I heard the doorbell
go but as I was getting up to answer the door, he was knocking on the
glass because *he* hadn't seen / heard any feedback that the bell was
working.

If I can find a suitable mini-buzzer it may well work in series with
the existing bell and so would be very easy to tack into the existing
circuit and mount just behind the bell push.

We hear both things, they hear the buzzer. ;-)

Cheers, T i m
