I’m trying to find a doorbell, with possibly an odd lot of requirements.

It is for a church building that is used by a lot of different community groups.

I’d like it to be cordless.

I want two pushes, both battery powered.

I want five sounders, preferably ones that are plugged into a 13a socket.

Does anyone know where such a system is available. (I have probably been Googling the wrong terms)

The method I use it possibly too expensive, I use LP-link (Tapo and Kasa) hubs which double as sounders, and a Tapo button, this shows how I have added two sounders. Shows one door bell to two hubs_20231007_170929_Tapo.jpgIt also logs when used Door bell report.jpg but I am sure there are cheaper methods, I had originally used the button to turn on/off lights, and I needed two hubs as some functions only work with Tapo and others (TRV heads) only with Kasa when I bought the system. But it shows it can be done.
 

ours was battery and had 6 or more sounds available

I have used this and setup for a friend. had 3 bells with 2 door pushes
Ideal as it also had a strobe light on it nd different sounds for the front / backdoor bells -

BUT i dont know how many sounders can be used , cant see in the tech documents , as i say we had 3 - although they are battery versions - but they also do mains plug in

may be worth a call to them and see max number of sounders
 
Wireless devices, such as radios, that are receive-only, have no effect on the transmitter, and there is no limit to the number you can use.

That version is button linked, IE hold a button on both devices at the same time for a couple of seconds. Unless they have changed them, attempting to link to a second sounder automatically deletes the first link.

However they do have(not sure of the correct term) slave units with limited functionality; such as not identifying different doors as an example.
 
it was honeywell models i had - from TLC and had 3 sounders ALL linked to 2 different doorbells , a few years ago - perhaps i linked to the wrong unit
But i did suggest they call them

it had at least 6 different tones on it
anyway
sorry for any confusion

I had the opposite situation, right at beginning of lockdown with 2 sounders and 2 buttons with roughly 70m between them. We got 2 sets, as it happens from TLC, with careful positioning they worked OK over the distance (half of quoted range) but trying to link to 2 sounders didn't work at all. Phone calls to a number given by TLC came up with the 'slave' unit straight swap for base unit including post.

I'm wondering if there are different models available as I don't think these had 6 tunes, all I recall were about 4 ding dong sort of sounds with about 2,3,4 or 5 pings
