Do you have a sprinkler system?   Just rig up a remote valve!

I guess the top priority is to have a speaker/intercom in each room, not necessarily a monitor. It's more important to HEAR the chime and SPEAK to whoever is at the front door than to see them. This will allow me to turn folks away without being awkward.

    There are various implementations of something similar, you could
    have one Pi with a camera working the doorbell button, then others
    watching the stream and displaying it to a small screen, and
    listening for the doorbell button (and microphone) and ringing a
    "chime" on a small speaker and providing the visitor's voice (just
    saw a little board on Adafruit to take the RPi digital sound
    signal and drive a small speaker with an analog output), then a
    button on each listener to open the door lock if you have an
    electronic lock, or I suppose to speak back to the camera board.
    You'd need power at each device, which would probably be the most
    difficult aspect of the implementation.

        Raspberry Pi's and
        a bit (maybe a lot?) of code - - -

            It's very difficult to hear the doorbell ring in our
            sprawling suburban
            outpost/hacienda.

            I'd love to install a wireless system that would include
            at least five
            separate video monitors/consoles from which to answer the
            doorbell from
            almost any room in the house.  Each monitor would show
            who's at the door
            and also have its own door chime.  Does such a system exist?
