Is there any option for a doorbell chime extender?
The Doorbell chime is pointless as it has to be connected to my router.
If I am in the kitchen or upstairs we don't hear it and there is not a chance I am going to use a really long ethernet cable to take into another room.
Really disappointed in the doorbell ( which requires frequent charging as it is ) and the rubbish chime
Has anyone found a better solution? Or are there plans to improve this part of the kit?

Re: Is there any option for a doorbell chime extender?
It is one of the most disappointing aspects of the kit. I ended up buying a long extra thin cat 6a cable to connect it to my switch. There is no prospect of any improvement to the connectivity from the chime to your home network - there is no wi-fi capability built in.
The battery on the doorbell is generally affected by the distance to the chime. Mine is pretty close and the battery is lasting several weeks.
