RFXCOM and doorbell

[nojstevens]

Hello,

Can anyone recommend the best way to integrate a doorbell with Homeseer using the RFXCOM plugin.

I know how I could do it with my Elk, but running a wire from my bell box to my Elk is a last resort - one I would really like to avoid.

So I am hoping that I can find something in the US to do this with RFXCOM. I have seen some solutions in europe - KAKU I believe - is anyone doing this with stuff available in the US?

Thanks

Jon

Search the board for the terms doorbell ds10a

Lots of people do it this way.

Now why can't I ever get deals like that?

Now we have a sliding glass door bar that forgets to be installed some time.

I am going to mount a DS10a on the bar and put a magnet at the far end on the door jam so the DS10a is only satisfied if the bar is in place.

I suggest you get a 24VDC relay on order while you wait for the DS10s.

Cheers Bill

Thanks Bill - should keep me busy for a few more weekends.

That deal on ebay is recurring, its a powerseller with many auctions for 3xDS10a at $7.99 + $8 shipping
