Re: 20P Question

Yah, I know...it was a really stupid idea the homeowner had..."but my
brother-in-law says he can do it with his alarm"...hmmm ok.

It gets even sillier- the reason he wanted interior doors to chime is so he
could tell if his kids open their doors and wander around the house at
night...the MINOR problem here is: HE HAS NO KIDS !! - so we "futured" for a
silly option?

I expect a call any day soon that he hates having to close 10 doors before
he arms the system AWAY.
