Re: I need a doorbell!!!

["David Gumbrell" <david.gumbrell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Door switch wired into back of Idratek light switch module then
forwarded to
relay to ring bell and sound bell noise on other panels. But real
motivation
is to have a height sensor based on door CCTV to not ring the bell when
it's
the annoying little f**kers who ring and run. And to take a picture of them
for the Name & Shame posters.

Cheers,

David
