|    Sound activated relay    |
|    15 Aug 11 20:23:21    |
      From: thor44@frontiernet.net              My old 3 channel motion detector system had a relay on the receiver that       when the nearly inaudible factory buzzer went off, the relay closed for a       short duration. A quick visit to Radio Shack and a small plastic box, a loud       buzzer powered by a 9V battery, and a couple wires to the factory relay       contacts on the receiver, and the audible problem was solved.                                   The present. Due to a leaking battery in one of the transmitters, it was       rendered defunct. Of course the company has "updated" everything and the new       transmitters will not work with the old receiver. No problem, I just ordered       a new system. The buzzer is still too soft, but there isn't a relay on this       new one to use an external buzzer.                                   What I'm looking for, is a sound activated relay which I assume would       utilize a cheapie type microphone that I can place next to the receiver, and       simply run my old Radio Shack buzzer box across the sound relay contacts.                                   Now back in the day I'd simply find a decent schematic, fire up the       soldering iron and whip something up. I'm now 73 tears old and the old       "Arthur Brothers" joints simply won't let me do it anymore, so I need a plug       and play sound activated relay---that I would assume came with a 110V power       supply module.                                   I'm open to suggestions, and a million thanks for listening.
