Fw: RE: Door Bells anyone?

You should use Doolittle's Motion script in the HomeSeer forums - it WILL
tell you when batteries are low !

(albeit, by no movement after 72 hours)

That's the route I took - an MS14A (US frequency) motion sensor, an MR26A
receiver plugged into the Homeseer PC's serial port, and an X10 chime unit.
Homeseer can initiate other events when the PIR triggers, and I can use the
integral dawn/dusk sensor to switch lights on/off. If I'm outside, I can
plug the chime unit into a mains socket in the shed....

Admittedly it doesn't tell you when the batteries are running low!
