Honestly curious what kind of climate do you have where you can't have a traditional door bell.

Michigan lakes area. It is sometimes really windy and really cold for long periods of time. The kind of climate where we get ice in the inside of our windows. Any mechanics needed to have a mechanical doorbell would also let in cold air.

Edit: apparently there are some that have mechanics that pass through the wall that are similar to a door handle and can be sealed up pretty well. Very cool!

I'm guessing /u/friend_of_satan lives in a very hot and arid climate.

TIL hot ans dry climates can affect doorbells

Hell is very hot from what I understand.
