I think my title says it all... I want to lose the actual doorbell on the wall and use the M1 instead - I'm even rigging up the Elk124 so I can do my own custom sounds, etc...
Originally, I was going to lose the light on the doorbell and just hook the button to a zone, but when I put the new button up today, I kinda liked how it looked lighted... so I decided to use the 930 doorbell detector - but it looks like the way it detects the load is when the actual doorbell is activated and draws the current - meaning if I disconnect the bell itself, it should stop working.
So - this is beyond my expertise, but is there something I could put in place of the doorbell - like a resistor across the wires, or something like that to create the same net-effect and trigger the 930? it says it needs 900ma minimum to trigger.
Any help is appreciated!
