I am completly shocked that such a simple product need has no equivilent solution existing in the market place. I'm just looking for a simple, self contained audio device that can be mounted and on trigger, play digital audio file, stop and wait for next command. This is what RoboDog did without elaborate speakers, wiring etc. They have the micro audio players that fit in gift cards for a couple bucks that do the same thing but can't find the full size equivilent.
The problem I'm having isn't just the 'coons. During the last week I've noticed my Koi are skittish and on closer count discovered six missing. Couple days ago (Wednesday) when I went out to feed the fish at 7:30 AM I dicovered a blue heron at the edge of the pond about to go for another meal. Once a heron finds a fish'n hole it will return until there is nothing left to eat. That evening a bolted a spiderweb I made from 80# braided fishline over the top of the shallow end of the pond but I still want a second layer of deffense. The motion activated sprinkler (Scarecrow) is to unreliable. Sometimes goes off every 60-90 seconds, other times I can walk back and forth six feet in front of it and it won't go off, same sensativity setting.
I want to have multiple floods to come on when they detect motion which the two X10 floods do quite well. This trips the chimes in the house which gets me flying out of bed and out on the deck (not sure if the 'coons do it deliberatly for the show). I will be finishing installing my second layer of four double bulb floods linked to a motion detecter tonight. These are mounted under the deck area. I want the same PIR motion detecter that trips the floods to activate the barking dog. Have everything except the barking dog. Preferably the version I don't have to clean up after, the grackles are bad enough!
