I made one that had wet cloth hanging in it so when you put your arm in it was all gooey, and yo had to put your arm in to open the air ram power sliding door, the music also changed when the sensors was triggered, the sensor circuit and MP3 player cost less than 20 bucks to make. Just keep in...
Geoff, thanks I updated tonight and of course while doing that got a message with people standing out front, and none for the rest of the night, it seems sms a light board on a house is a bit of a struggle for the good people of Coorparoo, maybe its takes a couple of years to catch on.
