3 factors that affect the range of your doorbell
Doorbells with a wireless receiver send a signal to the receiver as soon as someone rings the doorbell. Manufacturers indicate the maximum distance between the doorbell and receiver in meters. Usually this is between 50 and 100 meters. In practice, the maximum distance is less great. There are several reasons for this, which we will explain in this article.
1. Concrete Walls and Obstacles

The maximum range of a doorbell is measured in an open field. With this measurement, there are no obstacles that affect the range. If the receiver is in your house, that is of course different. In a house with thick concrete walls, the maximum range will be a lot lower. If a home is well insulated, it also affects the wireless range. Therefore, place a receiver with relatively little range in a place without obstacles.
2. Wireless equipment

Many devices in the house communicate with each other via a wireless protocol, such as WiFi or Bluetooth. The advantage of this is that you have few loose cables in the house, but all these signals sometimes influence each other. In exceptional cases, other devices reduce the range of your wireless receiver. Therefore, do not place the receiver too close to other equipment.
3. Other signals in and around the house
