I just want to buy a simple wireless door bell without a video or anything "smart". All I want is that someone comes to my house, they press the outside button, I hear a sound and I answer the door. I honestly thought that would be so easy to buy, but its not, or, I have just wasted 90 minutes on google looking at the wrong websites. Can anyone help please.

I know. I'm a fool, I searched for simple doorbell.
Should have searched for a dumb bell.
We have used this one for many years:
https://www.bunnings.com.au/swann-compact-backlit-wireless-d…It has many poor reviews, but for us it has always worked without any battery drain issues and if it ever random goes off it usually means the chime batteries are low.
What websites have you been looking at?
I just searched for wireless doorbell, went to the shopping tab and got lots of results there. Bunnings, Officeworks, Kogan, Mitre 10, etc.
I searched for simple doorbell.
He was searching for dong and something else came up
The Dong with a luminous nose.
Why are you being a slave to electronic doorbells? Back in my day we used a simple door knocker. Did the job well. Not over complicated. No wiring or batteries running out.

Nasty
But is this nastier ?

It even has a video !!!
Back in my day, we used to dream having about a door…
(of course, not having a house made it a luxury)
Back when I was a kid, we had a door made out of paper bags.
We used to dream of having a house to go with it - pure luxury!
Omg you had paper bags?!
I dont understand how the heck are people buying these to actually put on their doors ??
I guess they must not have any incoming children, or any other amatures
We get it, the world is scary and frightening for you.
In similar position. To me, Kogan battery less door bell fits my requirement. Very smart way to generate signal without battery at the outdoor switch. Indoor chime requires power supply. It is cheap too. Bought it last year. Used hot glue gun to fix.

Have one of these kinetic no battery door bells and it works perfectly.
Just plug the chime unit into a power socket, select your chime sound, and that's it.I also think kinetic is the best way to go for a non-smart, non-video doorbell. I think Aldi had them in its weekly specials not too long ago.
Need to call Señor Ding-Dong

Do you not know how to type "Bunnings" and click the search button?
I did go to Bunnings and all I could find were the one's with camera's on them
I remember as a kid the local hardware store had a section dedicated to door bells. About 20 of them were wall mounted and you could test the ding dong tone of each one. God they were the good days. People just couldn't help themselves, myself included.
Been using bunnings one, after 1 year or so, you might have to press the bell multiple times.
So just put a sticker on door saying please press bell twice.
Anyway not much complains for that much price, i think it was like $8-14 something like that arlec cheapest one (uses coin battery on bell, and AA on receiver)
Anything with a AAA battery in the bell? I'm not a big fan of coin batteries.
I recommend this one https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07P82XH3Z/?ref_=cm_wl_huc_item.
Have had for 2 years - works great.What trap for young players is the type where you have the external button and an internal “noise maker” that plugs into a power outlet. If you get a power outage, after it comes back, the inside one might not make the noise when external button is pressed.
For some reason that happens with ours so we check the door bell periodically.
This has never happened to ours.
Just a heads up. Maybe we got a dodgy one :)
