Can Elk Speak UP? Doorbell and announcements

[beaumeri]

I'm back again with more questions.

I need to set up 2 doorbells (front door side door). I have nothing in place now and I have full access to run wires.

I was thinking using a single contact button at each door and wire them as a Normally Open contact to the ELK. Then use the ELK / CQC to speak up!

Any guidance on that matter?

Hardware recommendation?

Just make sure that you don't use a lighted doorbell. The lighted doorbells won't work since it will leak enough current to cause the M1 to think that it is always closed.

I purchased a doorbell and then just clipped the Light out.
