can you program custom sounds? If I have 2 chimes (old solenoid type) and replace one with this will it work ok

Cannot program but 3 standard sounds and volume control make it pretty adaptable. Piece of cake to install.
1855158
No I do not think that you can program sounds. You can adjust the volume and pick one of three melodies.

We had a two chime doorbell and needed a new solenoid when we installed the heath/zenith which has a much longer series. I don't see how you could program custom sounds but there is a choice of two or three different sequences that are pre-programmed -as well as a volume control. I like the sound of our Heath/Zenith. It is also easy to hear.

I don't know I comes with the chimes, you just choose which one you want to use.

Yes. It should work for one sound. You will have to add a diode to your door bell button if you want to have multiple sounds.

Currently I have this unit in a 2013 GMC, it's not compatibly with IPod Port, or OnStar does not show on the screen. Currently the Chimes or Turn signals lack an option to turn up the sound. So you won't hear either when music is up. I have not been able to contact Customer service for to-do or help. Research this more before purchasing this options. Fit well, great sounds, but no customer support for problems

Pull out and move pins to change to different frequencies to get the sound your looking for

I did not install it, would not fit so I don't know if it would change the sound.

I actually purchased one of these for that very purpose, and it worked well, however, if the chime was on the bedroom end of the house, I couldn't hear it from the basement. I purchased a second unit to compensate for this by putting the second chime unit in the kitchen. I programmed the pushbutton she always has with her on the tray of her walker, with a different tone than the pushbutton of the one in her bedroom. That way, I know what part of the house she is in. It has given my mother peace of mind.We tried a brand called "SMART", a pager system with a receiver and 2 pushbuttons, but the range was poor and the batteries didn't last long.

Yes...each button can be programmed to have its own sound. There are 7 sound effects. I love this thing. No more hanging out by the front door so I don't miss the knock. This particular brand much nicer/sturdier than the others I saw.

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.

You can do it yourself. I ordered one for a friend, and helped him program it...just follow instructions.

No it doesn't. If you remove the baffles it sounds better but it runs hotter and losses a little power so you have to get a programmer

Yes, I believe you can. My order came with two chime units and one bell button. Both chimes work with the one button. Then I ordered two more chime units and one bell button. All the chimes work with either button. I'm using two chimes and one button at my mother's and saving the others.

Is there a special way to configure the unit to do this or is it easy to do? All I want is local control of devices and my doors to chime when they are opened.Thanks again for all the help.Joe

My unit works both on Chime and Alarm. It is important to align the magnet side properly vertically next to the alarm unit and about a half inch apart. When I arm my unit it beeps once. When I disarm it it beeps twice. I did forget to disarm it one morning and the alarm screemed loudly to let me know and I had to put in the code to stop it. I think the chime is more for the use of a business so you know when someone has entered the shop. You may need to start over and reprogram the unit. If that doesn't work I would return it. Good luck.

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

I'm not sure you can do that, there should be a list of the bells it responds to, and then probably the existing has instructions on programming the new bell to it. I got the base in addition to this one and it was pretty easy to program. If I wanted to use this, I'd probably order the Base which comes with one, and see what the instructions say about using different products. Then return it and get the button if applicable. If your current is honeywell, I'd bet money you can program this.

Its not the buttons that make the noise but the receiver. IT has two different sounds . I think youd have to buy 2 sets and use 2 receivers set to diff sounds. I assume they are on different freq. but not sure

Make sure the wires aren't touching in the chime (where you connected the device). May need to rearrange them.

Yes, you can use 3 different chimes. Mine has been working 2 years without a battery change. The chime is very soft so if hearing is an issue, get a real doorbell.
