Well, I'm finally working on the electrical of our house. I got most of the recep and switch boxes set over the weekend, and reworked the circuit layout, so I'm happy with that now. Now its just drilling holes, and pulling wire...

But I'm trying to find a direct wire smoke detector with wireless communication. I haven't looked around online, and I'm not even sure what brands are considered reliable, so I'm looking for suggestions. I want detectors that are 120v with battery backup, and will communicate wirelessly. So, if one in the basement goes off the one in my bedroom will too...

I'm also looking for a good wired door bell with two tone chime, but I want a good sounding chime. Something that actually sounds like a bell, not a poorly synthesized bell... and I don't need the full Westminster ballad, and no Dixie,etc... however, cool that may be...

 

I definatly dont do this everyday so wouldn't have the first clue.
I'd go to lowes and just look around. They should have most all thier doorbells set out so you can try them and hear what they sound like.

 

I messed around with their display real quick the other day. Most of them played the full Westminster or just two tones, but most were set to play just Westminster, and I didn't have time to mess with them to figure out how to change them if the display would even let you... I plan on trying again when I have more time, but just thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions...

BTW, Lowe's had 120v OR wireless, but not both in the same unit, at least at our local store. Haven't tried online yet. Guess I should do that... but still not sure if what they carry is considered reliable... ?

 

Closer, just go back to Lowes and get Chad Knaus to "rig" you something up.

 

 

Sorry...just a little joke. Lowes=Jimmy Johnson=Chad Knaus(his crew chief) = he cheats a lot= "rig" you up something.
