I chose to use a wireless doorbell just to avoid messing with my actual doorbell wiring, but this could be done with the original bell, just be careful with the electricity at the other end where the doorbell is, most doorbells use a live 120V line and feeds through a transformer usually reducing it to 10V... I also don't think i would feed the 10V line into the Arduino... leading to my use of a wireless doorbell (operating at 5V), which isn't to say the homewiring orignal doorbell can't be done, just more caution will be needed. hope this answers your question, let me know if I can help furtherBig Tray Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12470313743445513939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988058258085014208.post-86694588626673691082012-04-01T15:44:09.076-07:002012-04-01T15:44:09.076-07:00I was just pointed to this project and it is exact...I was just pointed to this project and it is exactly what I wanted to do. Why did you use a wireless door bell instead of using your existing doorbell? Ultimately I would like to use my existing button, but just send the signal through the board. Is that even possible?Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062835065685850879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-988058258085014208.post-85736951995913322472011-05-10T20:00:51.254-07:002011-05-10T20:00:51.254-07:00Well you would need an Arduino, and a basic wirele...Well you would need an Arduino, and a basic wireless doorbell from any store or online retailer... you will need an internet connection to get the text message out, so either a dedicated computer that the arduino stays hooked up to or the IO bridge that is linked in the blog.

The "XXXXXXXXXX" is just my 10 digit phone number and will only work if you have Verizon...
