Can't hear doorbell upstairs
When upstairs, video doorbell can't be heard. Is there a device (remote chime?) that could be placed upstairs that would sound when the doorbell is rung, or is there a workaround for this problem? Thank you!

Unfortunately yes, the Wireless Siren currently does not support relaying the Doorbell Chime. Only the Base Station can do that.

@RMB Do you have the auxiliary siren? With SS3 the chime (also entry and exit beeps) can be played through the auxiliary siren besides the base. Of course, the main use is to have a much louder siren go off in an alarm condition but it works well. A must have component of any system in my opinion.

How can I get the Simplisafe video doorbell to ring in our basement?

There really should be a consistent method for getting all alerts and chimes through your cell. I had to purchase the siren just for this purpose, and now find out it doesn’t work with the doorbell. Very Klugy…..

There is a method for SS doorbell sounds on my Samsung Android, can't speak to other models, but presume most Androids are capable as well. iOS?🤷
And I know you want Simplisafe to do something to fix it.
But until then, (if ever😉) various models of doorbell chime extenders exist for wired and wireless doorbell, rather inexpensive. I'd presume anyone with SS doorbells would need a wired model.
The receiver has 3 wires for front, rear, tran etc. Be aware that this device will use a little transformer power knowing some folks have had issues with SS doorbells and needed chime connectors.
The model I saw plugs into a receptacle where ever you want it, and it can be moved.
So if interested, search up doorbell chime extenders, Amazon, Google etc.
I don't own one, just passing it on, due diligence on your part required.
