 % So, I've got this roommate that is apparently somewhat hard of hearing (to
 % be fair, her room is somewhat sonicly isolated from the doorbell
 % mechanism).  She can't hear the doorbell in her bedroom.  Well, that's
 % tough.
 % 
 % Anyway, I don't want a louder doorbell.  I think that's overkill.
 % 
 % I'm hoping to get some kind of quick and dirty contact-closure type
 % wireless device that can transmit a signal when the circuit is closed on
 % the existing doorbell.  Seems pretty simple to me, but I don't know what
 % kind of parts I need or if there is a commodity product that is cheap and
 % can be adapted to the job.
 % 
 % Of course, in addition to the transmitter, I'll need something that can do
 % something useful with the signal... like sound another bell or turn on a
 % light.
 % 
 % Any help appreciated.
