Entry and Exit Annoucement

[neildilgee]

I've got 2 sensor in my driveway hooked up to my system. One at my gate and the other in the middle of my driveway.

I would like to have an entry announcement when my gate sensor is triggered first and then my driveway sensor.

And when my driveway sensor is triggered 1st then my gate, I would like it to give an exit announcement.

Can this be done?

I don't see why not as long as they are separate contacts.

One thing I did on my drive sensor was to start a timer when it was tripped, that way if you are having people over, the announcement isnt constantly going off.

Thing two I did was if it is dark out, it turns on the exterior lights at the front of the house.

The third thing, that I have not gotten to, is the be able to turn the annoucement off at a 6btn keypad. Once again if you are having people over and you dont want the annoucement going off.

in the middle of this I show how to set it up so it knows if you're coming or going. You just need to time it to see how long it takes between sensor triggers and put a delay of at least that if not longer.

Thank you guys. I like the timer option cause I don't want the annoucement to go off every 2 minutes but I also like the variable option. So I'm gonna use both. Instead of having a on/off button, I'll use a 20 min timer.
