Play the homes doorbell over the distributed audio system in selectable rooms with the DA Doorbell Manager!
Using the DA Doorbell manager, you can override the currently active or inactive analog control based audio amplifier. This override will effect the source id, volume, power state and even the mute status of the amplifier. The override is active for a programmable amount of time, then switch all the settings back to the way they were prior to the override request. The module is designed to be placed inline between your Zone/Room controls and the amplifier within your SIMPL Windows program. Once the override is active you can use the OVERRIDE_ACTIVE signal to trigger an audio device, such as our WFDA DA Doorbell Audio Source (coming soon), or any other triggerable audio device to play a doorbell sound.
DA Doorbell Manager can be used for other applications too such as microphone overrides, emergency broadcasts or any other application that requires audio override control via SIMPL programing
