Door Chime not playing through the siren
I have the doorbell and it works great. I also have 2 additional sirens. I have set them to ring when the doorbell is pressed but they don't respond. They work perfectly for entry and exit beeps but no doorbell which is the main reason I bought them. What am I doing wrong?

Why is the feature not available yet there are settings specifically for the siren?

Any updates on supporting doorbell rings through aux siren? Seems like an obvious feature and a big miss not having it. Is there a place to formally request the feature and/or track progress?

Yes. I've spent hours trying to figure out how to make the doorbell chime through the siren. I didn't realize it wasn't possible until I found this thread.

I also assumed this would be a feature and was disappointed to find out it wasn’t possible. PLEASE add this to the development list! Would love to have this feature.

I agree with everyone in this post. This seems like it would be an easy thing to do, to allow the door bell to chime through extra sirens (and while you’re at it, chime through any other simplisafe devices that output sounds)! It would make customers so happy.

Big oversight here. It’s been years and nothing. Does anyone care at SimpliSafe??

Are there any updates on the implementation of this commonsense feature? It is very easy to be away from your phone and miss the doorbell completely.

Is there anything else we can do to let SimpliSafe know so many people are interested in this feature? Is there a way to send a written comment to the CEO?

I specifically just bought a siren after being told the doorbell would chime through it. What is the deal with that? This should have been a feature a long time ago!

My siren used to make chime when the doorbell was pressed. It worked for about 2 months then stopped. The SimpliSafe tech had me reinstall everything and then it worked fine for a while
but now no longer works again.

Backing up the implementation of this feature. I wanted the base station to chime downstairs and the siren to chime upstairs when the door bell is rang. Meanwhile, I guess I'll keep on eye my phone/watch...

This seems like it should be a very obvious oversight. The purpose of the sirens is to make the sounds of the system heard wherever you put them. If you have a house without a doorbell originally, then you rely on the electronic sound of the doorbell. I don’t like it coming from the base station, as that draws attention to its location. Coming from a security standpoint, the base should be hidden and not able to be easily found, thus severely lowering the possibility of a smash and grab where the perpetrator could smash the base before it makes the call. Remote sirens should have the same sound setting and functionality as the base station. Please get the feature implemented asap.

I too think that the siren should have a doorbell chime option. It’s very hard to hear the the station ring with the doorbell when you were on the second floor of my house. Please add doorbell time to the siren features. Thank you.
