Can you use two chime units together with one door bell for two locations in the house. i want to have a chime unit in the basement as well as the upstairs area?

I have not been able to get two chime units to work off single button. Information below appears incorrect. Would appreciate info if someone has found how to do it.

Yes, I bought two units..one for the main floor and one for the 2nd floor of my house. You program the new bell the same way with the bell buttons. I am considering buying a third set for the basement also. Al

Okay, I called Honeywell and they walked me through setting up two chimes one one button. I don't quite understand what I did but their number is on the box.

Yes, you can do that: All you have to do to do it? Just make sure ALL THREE UNITS are "coded" the same. By coded, I mean that you can "customize it" so that there is no interference from neighbors who MIGHT have a similar unit in their homes. In the back of both the chime AND the "bell press" are "tabs" that you can randomly move around, but you have to make sure that they're all the SAME configuration as the others are. Once the button is depressed, BOTH chime units will activate both in your basement AND "wherever you have the other one in the upstairs area". These are "supposed to have a 150' range", but I don't have that much property to "test out that distance"........Hope this helps in your quest. BTW, the "button press" has OUTLASTED ANY other "button press" that I had had in the past, as I live across the street from the Pacific Ocean and the salt air is SO corrosive, so this puppy is pretty well "wrapped up against the elements"........

yes I have one upstairs and one downstairs. The only problem I have it that the chimes are off so when the doorbell rings it sounds terrible, but heck at least I know someone is at the door. The other problem I had was that I had no idea my neighbor had the same unit so every time someone rang her doorbell, mine would ring also. The same would happen to her so we'd see each other opening our doors. It took us about 2 weeks of thinking someone was playing 'ring and run' before we both realized we had the same doorbell. LOL It was an easy fix though and now it's all good.

I perched 2 sets so I could have 1 push button activate 2 receivers at the same time. Apparently, my sets have 2 different frequencies. I believe the manufacture randomly sets the doorbells to have different frequencies. I was unlucky with my order and you by chance did not receive what you wanted. I suggest you return one set and ask for a replacement. The chance of you receiving a matching frequency is very unlikely.

I wanted to do the same thing. I received two units and took them apart hoping to find dip switches or a pot to set the frequencies. I was unsuccessful - it appears they are factory set. I ended up putting both buttons on the door with "please ring both" written on them. So far so good. There may be a way to set them but it is beyond my skills. As I recall there was a code on the packaging which may indicate the frequency. You may be able to get two units with the same code. Good luck.

YES, you can. I accidentally ordered two but only needed one for the front door (back door is fenced in). It has one remote unit upstairs near living area and second in the bathroom so if I'm in the shower I will know someone is at door.

Yes, this is intended for wired doorbells ... simply take the cover off the chime on the wall in your house, and follow the extremely simple and clear instructions to attach the couple of wires to this/your existing chime ... just use the two wires labeled "Front Door" if you only have a front door bell, and use the third wire labeled "Back Door" also if you also have a rear doorbell. I like the two I previously ordered so much I just ordered a third one for my garage workshop! Great range. Great product.

Kevin: You can buy a second ringer and it will ring the main plugged in chimer and the chime needs to be heard when whichever ringer is used. But not sure about if your had two sets if one of the bell ringers will make both chimes ring. Email the website as I did for another question and they get back to me Website on insert and box. Good luck Susan

Yes, you only need one transmitter and then you can add multiple chimes. Model number RC3733D is the Add-On chime.

It all depends on the construction of the buildings. The instructions advise against placing units in different buildings or in unheated spaces. My basement unit will network with the ones on the second floor. By line of site, they mean an electronic signal must be able to make it. The units don't actually have to be optically visible to each other.

Hmmm. I'm tempted to think #2 and #3 might be more of these bad units everyone is writing about. (My 1st one didn't work at all.) However, if you're linking them to a central chime unit, I've wondered about the possibility of somehow cross-linking multiple units. If #1 is still working, you might try unlinking 2 & 3 (per the instructions) and relinking #2 before #3 even has a battery in it. Then, if #2 works, proceed to #3. Did they, or do they work when unlinked? Can you complete the walk test with them unlinked, in other word? Just wild guessing on my part here but it's maybe something to try? Another question: could #2 and #3 coincidentally have the same codes and the chime unit can't tell them apart? Heck, I dunno. Mine, at least, is still working perfectly. Good luck.

My first answer was from my phone. After rereading on my computer I think I understand your question better. From the web I found this description which should answer your question. I would say that the answer to your question is yes.*Works Interchangeably with GE Wireless 7-Sound Door Chimes to Allow Multiple Push Buttons and Chimes to be Added *Add up to 6 Additional Push Buttons Each with an Individual Sound

I placed one chime by the front door, the other in my workshop out back. The workshop is about 150 feet from the front door. No problem.

You need both the door bell push button and the base which has the chime in it. The number and type of ring is set by moving a jumper in the bell. With the base we have one is set to two rings for one door and the other is set to one ring.

Mine was the same way. I found a different solution by using a wireless chime. It was a lot of work. I rigged the button to connect to the wired chime. It only worked for one door. Not 2 doors like the extend a chime. But at least it could be heard. Sometimes this stuff doesn't work. What are you going to do?

Yes... I have one chime in my house and one in the detached garage for when my husband is out there working on his truck.

If you mean to use the button as a call or alarm button, with the chime unit elsewhere, should be fine. The distance is severely limited by metal, ie my apartment front door, which cuts the range to about 25 ft. But if you're in a normal wood-frame house, you should be fine. Clever idea! Doorbell button does have to be pressed firmly--you'd want to go over it several times with practice runs if you're dealing with frail or confused person. Best of luck!

You can use an existing doorbell. That is what I did and it works beautifully.

At a quick glance it does not appear that you can use two receivers. You can use up to four doorbells with four different rings. I would call the company directly and ask the question. 605.356.2772
