Hi
I have a mains wired doorbell with the chime in the hallway. Parents are elderly and dont hear the bell all the time. I want to run two wires from the hallway chime into living room and add another chime there. Does the new chime need to have built in transformer does it not require it?
Current set up is a transformer by the fusebox and the chime has one wire to it and another to the push button. One wire from the push button the transformer to complete circuit.
 
Any recommendations?
Range topper
Middle of the road
Budget
I can only recommend one I have experience with and use.
The Lloytron doorbells use their MIPS system, so you can buy the basic push button + sounder and then add more sounders and bell pushes.

Mine works well. Has a good range. Note that wireless operation can be affected by some building structures, but they work well in standard type houses.
