i know how to do it for a wired system, just not for a wireless. you take a basic wired system and hook a 12v light to the siren inplace of a speaker. you run a line to the window and put a window sensor there, and run another line to the door and put in a door sensor there. hook these up in parallel at the panel. if BOTH are open at the same time, the light comes on. either one opens and the other is closed, and no light. we actually did this at a few locations when i was installing alarms. you can do the same thing with a DC wall wort and a relay and 2 sensors.

You're right, everyone IS watching you. Just to be sure, this forum has a volunteer committee that takes note of where you live and sends a team to stand in your yard and look in all your windows. :) In reality, most likely none of your neighbors cares one whit what you do in your house. Normal people are busy with their own lives. Besides, during the daytime, if you keep your lights off inside and stay away from the window, it's almost impossible to see you from outside anyway. Stand halfway across the yard and try to look in a window, and you'll see what I mean. It's another story at night, of course. But there's no sunshine at night, so you don't need to open your window then.

What's outside that window? 2nd floor? High? I have no covering on an upstairs bath....that is easy 3 to 400 feet from the neighbor's....if you are closer....the angle is such that you can't see in. The only person that could see anything would be a roofer or gutter cleaner....and then I don't use that bath until they have left. I am wondering if anyone can actually see in. Have someone go into that bath, light the lights and you go outside and see what you can see. If that test fails, my best suggestion is a pull down shade under a wood or fabric valance. Or cover the window with shutters outside the box...on the room side so when they are closed you never know the box is there. Leave them open but for when you need them closed. Linda C

Do they ever appear at yard sales? I think that I have one left over from when Aunt Phyllis lived in the house, 10 years ago. I've been thinking that I'd like one, as I'm right handed and the index finger on the right hand has been crooked for years (no comments about its owner, please) but hadn't caused discomfort until lately. The outer joints have been rather stiff for some time, but the one at the hand was O.K., so could use it for keyboarding ... the finger just sort of got in the way with some things that I wanted to do. But recently rather heavy use, like using a hand-powered can opener, has caused some discomfort, so I've been thinking of getting one, if Aunt Phyllis's one is just a figment of my imagination. When Sue and I returned from Korea, where we'd been working for some time with refugees who had next to nothing, I was rather disdainful (to put it mildly) of electric toothbrushes and elctric knives, both of which had rather recently-developed popularity, back in '57 ... ... and we were given both by family, not too long after! I developed a liking for the electric knife, as it does a slick job, without tearing the meat ... ... but an electric toothbrush I could and can do without (especially now that I'm down to three teeth). o j
