| | I'm now able to hear the doorbell in my garage thanks to a pair of X10 devices. One device senses the AC voltage being applied to the doorbell and the other is a remote announce device. I used a small audio transformer (in series) with the 16V AC of the doorbell circuit. When the doorbell switch is pressed, the output side of the transformer produces a smal AC signal to the detector device. Now I can hear the doorbell in the garage, and I have a extra announce device that I can take around the house and plug it into any 120V outlet where I might be out of earshot of the front doorbell. |
