Default 'Garage door open' warning light



"F" news@nowhere wrote in message
o.uk...
We've got a new sectional garage door that's for ever being left open if
the button to close it isn't pressed as soon as we've finished with it and
are back in the house.

Has anyone got a simple warning light solution that I could install inside
the house that will illuminate when the door has been left open.
Preferably not requiring wiring being installed as I've just tidied up
after wiring the button.

And yes, I know it's much simpler just to remember to press the button to
close it, but it's not happening.

Cheapo wireless doorbell

eg

with the pushbutton changed from a normally open type, to a normally closed
one, maybe ? Mounted inside on the door frame, with a little tab of springy
metal to push the switch when the door was down. You could even power the
transmitter from a mains supply inside the garage, to save having to bother
about making sure the batteries were always good.
