Hi Dan



I am a bit like James, in that I don't have my door bell connected to xAP
but I do it another way:-



I have an x10 motion detector facing the front door and this generates a
BSC
message through Edwards X-10 connector and so on to Floorplan



A script in Floorplan generates a xAP-OSD display message which I see on my
TV via Tivo and Tivodisplay and also on a VFD and a LCD display via
SerDisp3
and also from Intranet Launcher if I am at my PC



Originally I had a doorbell sound from my Doorbell app as well, but I am
running silent at the moment



I remember seeing a post on the Homeseer board about a Doorbell project

http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?p=544096
<http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?p=544096&highlight=doorbell#post54
4096> &highlight=doorbell#post544096



which included a couple of pdf's with some electronic schematics and I have
sent you the most recent

Hi,

This place is so quiet, how am I supposed to keep myself amused at work...

Anyway.  Just to liven things up a bit, do any of you have a xAP
enabled doorbell?

If so how did you do it and with what?  I have a few ideas, but an
interested in other solutions.

I would be able to test my ideas if only I could get the serial bridge
working.... hint, hint Patrick! ;-)

I have found it quite hard to locate any detailed info on electronics
projects which involve xAP, I have found a few, or are there just not
many writeups on the web?

Looking forward to some interesting responces!

Cheers

Dan
