By the power of human interaction, infrared bell to object sensing technology and some tweaking.
A doorbell that once pressed honks the horn of the car parked in the driveway.
Should give a start even if the car doesn't.
[yeah,I know. It's kind of my little tribute]

+ aw, sentimental..and a cool idea. + |
|
| |
your tribute to what? <looks around stupidly> |
|
| |
Something he saw in the movies, maybe? |
|
| |
Could we reconfigure it to active a remote seal? |
|
| |
Wouldn't that be a goose? |
|
| |
You're not the only one looking around stupidly, k_sra. I don't get it, either. Although I love the idea! This would definitely make those pesky D2D salesmen and bible bouncers from repeatedly jabbing at it. + |
|
| |
I kinda like the idea also of electrifying the doorbell button if pressed too many times in a 5 second period. If they space out their doorbell presses, then it electrifies if pressed too many times in a 3 minute period. |
|
| |
Now there's an idea. A Harry Hill tribute band. |

21 buy yourself a "no solicitors" sign for the front door. |
|
| |

|

{Looks past visitor, wonders who set off car alarm} |

Doesn't work. Door-2-Door salesmen don't see themselves as soliciting anything. They're simply informing of you of what they have to offer and why you should buy it. I know this because I've been a door-to-door salesman, and that is exactly what my supervisor told me to say if anyone had a problem and threatened to call the cops. Yeah, I didn't stay there (with that company) too long, and I've never worked in sales since. Bible Bouncers think they're above the law and don't have to obey signs. They feel their immortal soul is in jeopardy if they don't ring your bell or knock on your door. |

<obscure song reference> Tap on your window, too? </osr> |

I'd like the opposite: pressing the car horn would ring the doorbell. For carpool drivers whose pickups don't listen closely enough for the horn. |
|
| |
That or assume the horn is for someone else. |
|
| |
Me no car. Could it set off the neighbor's down the street? They would have to come out in the dead of winter, and see why their horn honked. (evil +++'s) |

[blissmiss] <John Donne> send not to know [4whom] the horn honks, it honks for thee </John Donne> |

"By the Power of Human Interaction!" |
|

I get it. He-Man is going to kill you with his scare-horn. |
|
| |
[grza] I hear where you are coming from, you do give new meaning to "the power of grey skull". |
