Blink doorbell - help me make it ring in the house!

DH bought and installed a STUPID Blink doorbell.

We have it hooked up to Alexa in the kitchen which chimes politely and then quietly announces that someone is at the door. Not great if useful if you're on any other room in the house.

Our phones also have it setup but DH always has phone on silent and I sometimes do (if working) or just put it down in other rooms of the house (like just now when doing DS' teeth in the bathroom and missed the doorbell as phone wasn't in bathroom with me).

We can't hook it up to a mains doorbell as previous owners didn't have one.

Has anyone got any kind.of wifi gadget that we can connect to a Blink doorbell so it'll just fucking ring!!!

Can you buy an indoor chime for it, I'm sure you can do this with Ring so would think blink might have something similar.

Also is your Alexa at full volume?

If no chime available get a second hand Alexa for upstairs.

Blink doesn't have a separate chime. We have ours wired ( quite straightforward to add!) and then a wireless receiver connected to ring elsewhere in the house.

I know this one!

Annoyingly they don’t sell a separate chime (Ring do) so you need to get a Blink mini camera. Once installed you need to go to doorbell’s settings then doorbell and chime settings to connect.

Thank you! You're my hero.

And thanks to others for your suggestions too.
