Would this be appropriate to use as a call button, rather than as a doorbell?

Yes, it would work nicely; as long as you have the set (doorbell button/transmitter And the Doorbell/receiver)

I don't see why not. It's small, portable, and volume adjustable, and the basic chime is not overwhelming.

Yes, I do believe it would work in a mobile home, and the distance has not proven to be a problem for me and what I like about it so much is that is very loud which is what we needed. I might suggest maybe a piece of wood or plastic material between the doorbell button itself and the outside metal wall of your mobile home might be of some help to you. Hope this help you , we are very happy with ours,, Sincerely, Phillip E. Haddock Pauls Valley, OK

Hi Lillehammer, I asked my husband about the button on the side and he said the phone can be use like a walkie talkie, if you have 2 of the same phones connected to the base. He showed me how and it does work. To turn of the walkie talkie, you just hit the red button (off button) twice. Pretty neat, especially if you are outside hanging out clothes or walking the dog and he is inside the house.

Yes it would work great. Just gave it to my friend in the basement since I have no need for it anymore and he taped it outside on the side of the house and it rings nice and loud in his apt. plus it also lights up when the bell is ringing.

I would guess no, since there is no way to control the doorbell remotely (the doorbell functions like an alarm sensor). If you have a 2Gig system with Alarm.com I would recommend the Chamberlain MYQ setup. It works perfectly and can retrofit to most current garage doors without wiring.

These units are intercoms where where you push a button and call and talk to the other unit. There is also a monitor feature, which would drain the batteries quickly so if using this feature opt for a DC converter (extra purchase but possible). In the monitor phase, if I understand you correctly, you could set up one unit near the doorbell ringer to project the sounds to the second unit. As an alternative David, explore a second doorbell ringer which would ring along with the first and place it where you would have placed the intercom. If there is attic access or a ranch home with an unfinished basement the second ringer should be easily installed.

Yes, I suppose it would "work". I would caution against this unless you want everyone in the office to throw something at you. It is quite loud (as loud as a normal doorbell) and there is no volume control. They make units that are wireless (sold on Amazon.com) that have volume controls but the receiver is battery powered as well as a remote. I can't recommend this for in a small populated area like an office cubical cluster.

That's far too complicated and technical a question for me. My wife uses it and has difficulty using the buttons, because they are so small. A voice activated system with something this small would probably work better.

I would think so as each receiver could be programmed to that same doorbell button. One receiver would not know about the other. That is my GUESSS, but I think that it is a logical conclusion.

I believe I read somewhere that the Obi phone output jack was designed to have enough power to ring a traditional "bell ringing" phone so what you're suggesting sounds like it might work.

i think so, i sold my home and the doorbell worked perfect. i tried to just get an off-brand but nothing fit or worked so spent the money and glad i did. I remember it working on all the sysytems - mine was out of data but still gets used so (i would replace if i was just buying my hours.

Yeah, you would just want to be careful as to not hit the button on the front. It is EXTREMELY loud. It would be hard to accidentally push that button though.

Thanks for your interests. If you just want it for alarm purpose, you do not need to connect it to a phone line or internet. When you want it to call, you need to connect it to a phone line.Hope the information helps you a lot.

Yes. We do it all the time. If someone knocks you just push the button to activate it. Works great.

Absolutely! The only reason you might want someone to push the button downstairs would be to respond and let you know they heard you. Ours are set up near an open stairs. Dad is downstairs watching TV and we're upstairs calling him for supper, etc. I can hear him respond without him pushing the button to respond via the intercom. We've learned to push the call button several times before speaking so Dad's awake or "ready to listen" to what we're telling him.

I don't understand the question. Do you have electric doors? This item is a doorbell that lets you know w/o is at the front door through your cell phone. The only issue that I found with it was that you had to have the application running at all times to get a real-time response. Therefore, I did not keep this item because I thought that was something that should have been handled in the application.

Yes, easily. That's how I prefer to use it, actually. It has push button activation.
