there are a number of cordless phones that are readily available that you can Bluetooth pair to your mobile phone so a number of cordless phones ring in the house when a call comes. Is anyone aware of a model that supports an Audio paging output that you can pipe into a whole home audio system like the doorbell modules?
thanks

You want to go from cell phone to page port is what you're looking for, right?
I've got nothing.

You got it. I figured the Bluetooth handset would be the first step but don't want to have to setup a whole PBX system to do a simple courtesy ring throughout the house.

You could probably take a Bluetooth cordless phone system, and hack the base speaker with a voltage sensor and use that to trigger something like a niles DBI2 and feed that into the audio page input.

"and hack the base speaker with a voltage sensor and use that to trigger something like a niles DBI2 and feed that into the audio page input."
Clever idea.... that could definitely do the job.
Any other suggestions of off the shelf solutions? I figured that it would be a blending of solutions out there. The house already has a Niles DBI-2 for the two doorbells so I imagine I could get a 2:1 RCA splitter with two DBI-2s to hookup into the home audio system...

The XLink I posted above is a bluetooth-to-POTS 'gateway' - it routes the cell call over landline, can connect to any standard phone.
A night bell/loud ring adapter like the Viking K-600F can be triggered by that line ringing and provides a paging output.
I have used the XLink, it works well. I haven't used the Viking piece, but as long as its output (600 ohm) is compatible with the home audio system, this setup should work.
If you build something using the DBI-2, you'd want to see how it responds when the input cycles on-off-on-off rapidly, unlike a single doorbell push.

I forgot about the Viking piece. I have one of those on a house that has a Panasonic phone system. The panny system is set so that when someone pushes the button on the door station, it rings the Viking, which sends a contact to the DBI
