our doorbell is located upstairs. it is not very loud. this becomes quite the problem when we have people or we are cooking in the kitchen downstairs and people ring the doorbell. we just don’t hear it.
on numerous occasions people have rung the doorbell and there is no repsonse from us. today, i am happy to report that that problem is no longer plaguing this household. i got a door chime extender. all it really is is a sound-activated remote control which then activates a separate doorbell. so far it has worked great in my testing, but so far no one has rung our doorbell since i installed it…
When we went to visit you, I had to call you from outside the front door cuz you’re right, the doorbell was ignored. Glad to hear it won’t be happening again. 🙂
Cool. Now if only there were a way to have the remote control call your cell phone or send you a text message. That way, you’d know when somebody was at the door no matter where you were — downstairs, in the backyard, at the market. 😀
