Does the siren also work with the doorbell?

Does the siren also work with the doorbell? I have another brand of doorbell with multiple chimes around the house but would like to standardize to SimpliSafe. I need to be able to hear the doorbell though.

Hi @ChewingPanda3692 ,

At this time, the Wireless Siren is able to relay Entry Chimes, countdown timers, and of course the full alarm siren. However, it is not able to relay the chime from the doorbell. That sound can only come from the Base Station, and the Simplisafe app.

Backing up the need for the feature. The siren chiming with the door bell adds a great value for the system.

While I do really like the video doorbell, not having a chime feature through the siren and only the base station is very limiting. I can barely hear my doorbell upstairs, compared to my nest doorbell that rang every speaker.

Holiday sounds would be cool too. I love this feature with Nest but I know that’s a lot harder. I guess I’m just wishful thinking.

The feature really needs to be added. The single base being the only source for the door bell sound is not an insignificant oversight. This missing feature maybe the reason the spouse vetoes the whole system. Please help address this issue!
