simple 3-way switching

[lesander]

I would like to wire my doorbell (16vac) to an LED light and simple "bell" tone on my desk. I would like to be able to cancel the alert from my desk. I do not need an intercom for speaking to the person at the door. Is there already something in existence that does this? I have looked in electronics supply stores but nobody knows a switch or circuit that would accomplish this. It seems that a 3-way switching system on a transformer would serve the purpose. I am pretty handy with wiring, soldering, etc. but if it requires elaborate circuit board building, lots of resistors, etc., I am a novice. Any info or resources? (I have tried Googling, but I don't know what to call it.)

Thanks for any help!

The biggest hassle is running the wires from your desk to the transformer or current bell location. Might want to consider wireless door bells:
