Not meBut my brother wired the doorbell into the light system.
So when the doorbell rang, the lights went off. Or, if set to night mode, if the doorbell rang, the lights went on. No sound needed. Good for the deaf kid, and no annoying sounds.
It was great until the local kids cottoned onto this and started just ringing the bell and running off.
