Will the master and the receiver interfere with each other (being too close to each other) if I mount the receiver on the outside of the front door and the master on the inside of the front door, and connect the two by short wires through a tiny hole...

That I would not know. Currently, the two devices are set up maybe 15-20 feet apart with the receiver on the outside and the master being in the middle of my apartment. Although, you might have a reason for putting it that close. I am thinking it is defeating the purpose of buying this device. Why not just ask "who is it?" I am sure people will be able to hear you without the device being installed.

In my house there are a few walls between the sensor and the receiver and it works fine. I don't know about your situation but I would give it a go.

You need to ask the question to the mfg. If they are the same frequency, they might interfere with one another depending on the distance and range of each.. If they are DIFFERENT frequencies they will NOT.

Sidney, I wonder if you tried it? If so, how did it work for you? I am considering the same setup. I cannot run a wire from the inside wall to the outside wall so I was thinking simply mounting the units on opposite faces of the door, hiding the wire inside the door itself. (sorry if this comment is entered in the wrong place)

It's possible if you mount it to the rear that there will be interference. I mount mine slightly forward for preference and it's fine. If you don't have room to move it around then the side rails will probably interfere.

My wire box is slightly above and to the side of the mounts and is mostly hidden behind the speakers. To go thru the plate is possible, but a little tricky since it depends on speaker weight and stud support necessity.

I had the same problem because I removed the wire for the wall button in order to insert the wire for the new receiver. What I had to do (my brother in law explained it to me) is insert BOTH the wire for the wall button, AND the wire for the new receiver into the same hole/receptacle. They will both fit in there. Sounds wonky, I know, but that is where they both need to be to make both the remote and the wall button work.

I purchased 7 of these to operate LED lights we added to the rear of our snow plow trucks at our church. I know that at least 3 of them have different frequencies. I think that if you have 2 with same frequencies, if they are further than 20 ft apart, it probably will not interfere with each other. FYI. I marked the transmitters and receivers with numbers to help identify which units go together.

it might interfere. I have a dog grooming shop that I installed this on and a wall in between the sender and receiver prevented it from chiming.

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?

The antenna is mildly directional. I currently use two receivers, one on the first floor (kitchen) and one on the second floor (bedroom). The transmitting antenna is on the 2nd floor, in a different bedroom. In my situation, both receivers are on a similar azimuth angle so I can adequately receive at both locations without re-aligning the antenna, by simply "pointing" between the two receivers. If your situation is very different from this, then I wouldn't expect it to work very well, unless one of the receivers is very close. At closer distances, the antenna pointing is less critical.

My receivers work from behind a half-wall, so I'm guessing they would probably work from behind a couch. Of course, it's difficult to know for sure unless you try it. In my situation, I have a half-wall separating the kitchen and living room. The receiver is plugged into an outlet on the north side of the wall, facing away from the remote. I use the remote from the south side (i.e. the opposite side) of the wall, pointing it through the half-wall and toward the back side of the receiver. It works for me. I have another receiver (set to the same "channel") across the room and behind an end table. I use the remote from the same location and both outlets turn on simultaneously. Hopefully you will have similar results.

Juan...>I do not know of a distance limitation between the transmitter and receiver....the unit works very well....Jim

I have used two of them strung together without any noticeable interference . I also noticed no volume drop over the distance. The only problem I did have were people acciditly pulling the wire out by stepping on it. I hope this helps you! Good luck.

Brian I don't think it will work as the sensor will be too far away from the receiver.

Yes. That may not be exactly what you're looking for, though - if the receiver and PC are too close to each other, then they might both get the signal, and carry out conflicting or duplicate commands.

If you do not corkscrew the receiver every which way it won't. Mine is hanging nice and straight. Unwind it in opposite direction if it starts looking all crazy !
