Wired door bell additional chime

[daniel1979]

Is there a way of adding an additional wireless chime to an existing wired doorbell installation? Is there a product on the market that includes maybe a module to add to the existing chime that triggers a wireless chime further in the house?

Have a customer in a largish property that is struggling to hear the door bell deeper into the house. I can probably change the whole system to wireless and do it that way but that’ll probably involve some redecorating where the old equipment is removed.

cheers Tel. I haven’t installed a Ring doorbell before. Are the chimes the type that plug into a socket?

Thanks Jason, so you’ve used this kit to install a wireless chime while also keeping the existing wired one? That’s exactly what I’m after if you have.

Will take a look at the data sheet on Honeywell site later when home ?

Yep that’s exactly it, I had a Friedland bell in one wired door bell existing and used one of the Honeywell kits as an interface so they could take a wireless bell into the garden which sounded when the wired bell push was used

My doorbell wires are broken inside the wall. I like the original chime, and wonder if I could use a wireless receiver to activate it? Maybe run the receiver speaker wires to the transformer of the original chimes?
