Finished a job.... and everything is hunky-dory on our end... until the customer says, "I can't hear people knocking at the door when I'm in the theatre..."
lol
Seems the contractor didn't put in a doorbell!
Now, contractor wants to know if I can get a wireless doorbell (easy) that might play through multiroom speakers (no, since amps might not be on) or at the least mute the speakers (possible...?)
Anyone know of a wireless doorbell, with 12vdc triggering, that could be used with speaker relays, or with Xantech product to trigger a system macro on RTI RP6?

ok... so I know that once the doorbell is pushed, there will be 12 volts available inside the bell (the ringer)... so now can someone remind me where I saw a product that would take a 12vdc trigger and execute a IR command?
I thought it was Xantech, but I couldn't find it on the site....
Model ##?

Found the 590-10. Is this the only option?

This is the perfect example of what we should all do: refine and refine our questions, including all the information at our disposal. Note how he started out with a question that could easily draw a huge slew of questions from us, then he thought some more about it and realized some details that should have been there, then...when he had the question completely pinned down in all its detail, he had the answer.
And yes, o hydraulic gnome, it is the only option I know of. Niles might have one, though. You could rectify the 12 volts, then feed that to an LED stuck on the end of a Niles light sensor, all neatly wrapped up in a ball of electical tape. Done that one.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

You can't get a wire to the front door?

Wire Nut,
Haven't looked at getting wire there... but from memory, it would be very difficult. House just completed, tough customer wouldn't want to re-open walls etc. hard wood floors.... and on and on....
Also, with my schedule, its no time to take on an extra project of that type. I'd like to help the homeowner, cause he has spent some good $$ with me, but I was never quoting on this part of the job, and the builder is on the hook. Builder has asked me for the wireless solution, which would get him out of a jam.
I'm sure I'll find something... keep the ideas coming... and I'll keep searching. Been toying with a bunch of options... but looking for the magic bullet...
