What's your new doorbell system? Is there a brand name? How's the battery life on door bot?

  As it stood we couldn't use the Doorbot with our doorbell system at all (it was installed ~2005, some no-name chinese brand). Hooking it up led to the Doorbot constantly ringing it. EDIT: Actually I'm misremembering - it did hook up just fine, but pressing the button on the Doorbot led to it rining the doorbell continuously for some reason. No real idea about battery life - its been sitting on a bench somewhere for the past year or so, since we gave up when we realized it was going to be either the Doorbot or the doorbell which actually rang, and found the notifications on phones were unreliable. We also realized that at home, you usually don't have your phone on you or even necessarily nearby - hence the doorbell. The one nice thing about the Doorbot was they were trying to solve the battery issue by letting you draw power of the doorbell circuit - but since ours isn't AC (or has to low of a "ring" current) we couldn't use that.
