Hi all,
I've searched, but to no avail. I've found a lot of threads on using relays to control audio speakers for music, and I think I could get there based on that. But thought I'd ask in case I'm overlooking an easy solution as I'm still pretty new to the Elk world. Due do a day sleeper in the house, but on varying days, I'd like to be able to have a mechanism that I can flip a mechanical switch (or something) discreetly hidden in the garage and interior that will disable door chimes and "non-alarm voice" announcements when switched 'on'. When switched 'off', chimes and "non-alarm voice"'s become re-enabled.
Thus, I can go in and out of the house "126 times while [they] are trying to sleep" without keeping them awake.
Any ideas on the simplest way to achieve this? I'm open to mechanical switches, buttons, rules, whatever. Just whatever makes sense to accomplish the task, ya know?
I did find the following hints:
Thanks!

I did find the following hints:
- Work2Play's post here in an old thread: {edit: oops, can't post links yet... topic number 19894 on this forum} "And with a relay on the speaker in the master bedroom, the wife can quiet everything while she's sleeping during the day so nobody bothers her." which sounds like it has a lot of potential too.
- {edit: oops, can't post links yet...} on the elkproducts website, the disable_voice page.
Thanks!
