I was thinking of integrating my doorbell with my M1G system and I am wondering if the doorbell monitor is necessary or if I can just run power and switch like I do for a motion or glassbreak sensor. $45 for a sensor seems steep but if I need it, I need it. I just wanted to know if anyone else was able to get it working alone.
In case anyone is looking for doorbells, This company makes some pretty cool ones:

I am getting the aluminum one with the white lighting. You may ask why I am worried about a $45 sensor if I am spending $56 on a button. That is a good question. I guess I want to make sure I need it. BTW the doorbell sensor has power supplied right? Is it a full replacement for a doorbell system so that I wire the doorbell directly to it?
