I'm thinking about purchasing a 'Doorbell Fon' system. This system connects an intercom to your phoneline via regular doorbell wiring connected to a controller.

Any ideas how to get Homeseer to tell that the button was pressed?
There is an additional module for this. The DP-28CI "... provides 800ms of dry contact closure... activated by the push button on the door box. Use this product for a door chime, to activate a camera, or turn on a light." ( ~ $40 )
I'm guessing this could probably be done easier with the DP-28CI... but can it be done without it? If so, how?
(I'd like to solve this without the DP-28CI so that I can avoid having yet another piece of equipment (and another wall-wart) in my wiring closet.)
Thanks...
