KDR - did you get it working?
Well its hard to say. When I was playing with this the weather was getting cold and I was having problems with the UM506 in cold weather things just didn't work right. Now the weather is warm again and the UM's are all working again I will be playing somemore. I have a few new ideas I am going to play with, including the doors closing at preset times if I can work out the bugs.
I also need to find an alternative to the UM506's. I purchased a few more but all of them work about the same. (not 100%) in the cold.
I use socket rockets and 7-1/2 watt bulbs to give me status on door condition. (a somewhat small indicator light setup) Just screw the socket rocket into a plug adaptor and plug it in anywhere in the house. Over all height of the bulb, socket rocket and adaptor is only about 3" and the bulb is no bigger round then a golfball which you can get in differant colors.
