During recent refurb we wired a doorbell at the front door that uses an antique doorbell push and is wired to a digital input on the Loxone, this kicks off flashing lights, TVs to front door cam and the antique door bell to fire (if the baby's not asleep).  All works a treat.

The problem is though, no one uses it!!  The doorbell push button position is too far away from the actual front door (i.e. about 18" to the right) and you know what people are like, they don't open their eyes and end up just bashing on the door instead.  now I could move the doorbell push to mount on the frame right next to the door but that will require either modifying the 100yr old door frame inc stained glass or having a wire on show - both of which I don't really want to do.

So, the question is - is there a wireless doorbell solution that can have a receiver with a relay output which can feed into the Loxone and kick everythign off as per my hardwired solution as it stands.

I really want something that looks like a standard doorbell push (i may hack it around to fit into the current antique doorbell push) and don't need any cam or intercom.  there's no need to go with an IP doorbell either (althoguht I wouldn't rule it out completely.  I also know there's quite a few hacks on the net to do something similar to standard wireless doorbells but i could do with one that doesn't take up too much of my time to install.

Anyone have any ideas?

You might try to fit an EnOcean push-button module in. No batteries required.

Another wireless solution would be to put a small sign on the door, like 'bell ->'
