    Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I.e. I have an existing mains powered doorbell in the house that I'm quite happy with, but I'd like to have a wireless extension to this in my workshop when I'm out there working away so that I know when there's someone at the door.

    B&Q do a wireless doorbell kit. Wireless button with plug-in mains bell unit and a battery operated wireless bell unit. You can put more Plug-in or wireless bell units on the set and you can even put a second wireless button on the setup that will give a different chime. 'Byron' is the brand name.

    Thanks! Is the wireless button battery powered? I can't find any information on B&Q's website.

    EDIT: Found this with some Googling ... looks like exactly what I want.

    Just noticed they also do a gadget that connects into an existing wired doorchime and sends the signal to a wireless chime unit ... sounds even better.

    Yes the button is battery operated. Mind you I've not had to replace the battery in well over a year. (Often wondered why people have stopped calling:p )

    I think I may have seen their kit in Atlantic homecare also, but I can't find it on their site.

    OK it looks like you have found what you need. I'm glad I could point you in the right direction.

    And for the first time in quite a while it's nice to see someone reply with a 'Thanks' as more and more people around here seem to feel that this is a service due to them and not a community.

    Did you eventually find a suitable product?
    I am looking for a similar solution for my home.

    No, as it happens, I never got around to it, sorry :)

    I am thinking about doing the same. I picked up a wireless battery-operated kit in Woodies for €12. The installed Friedland wired bell system measures just under 10V ac although documentation led me to expect 8V ac. The wireless bell push is operated by 12V battery. Can someone point me at a relay operated by 10V ac to switch 12V dc?

    Thanks in advance.
