ok, feel free to flame away, this is a question that I'm sure will cause some eye rolling - so get it out of the way not please:
we have a nice black metal doorbell surround and button on the front door. This was connected (by someone else, previous owner) to the button of a modern remote doorbell via a cable that went through the door frame. this meant that visitors pushed the old style doorbell outside, and it triggered a modern doorbell from inside.
Time to renew the modern doorbell now, as the remote chime has erm, gone awol.
Can anyone recommend a modern remote doorbell that someone with zero circuitry experience can manipulate (aka hack) so that I have a modern remote doorbell that's operated by the outdoor button. I purchased a new one, but everything needed to be soldered (which I have no experience of, or tools). I dont need a fancy bell, just a simple dingdong will do!
diagram(ish):
button outside---cable---modern button (indoors)---controls chimes
I hope I've managed to ask the question in a way that you a) understand and b) amused some of you
thanks in advance
edit: by remote, I meant wireless
