can your mics make coffee ( a challenge )

[fireeater]

just to be a bit out of repairs and troubles, and maybe things to tell the customer for fun

i had a interesting and in depth meeting with a customer a while back ,in the heat of the virtues(grin) of the mics & vmail, he said "and i bet it makes coffee too) to which i said yes
he bet me $100.00 it wouldn't
believe it or not i made it work (i know a timed coffee pot works great) but it is a great thinking project and the coffee pot in question didn't have a timer

any guesses how to do it

note: we sold the system and had a nice meal with the $100

Put 'em in a sequential hunt group to make it easier for the customer!

Don't forget that you will have to somehow include a holiday schedule for the future delivery feature or the customer may forget and burn the business down.

Set it up so that the power side of your relay switch circuit is connected to the building lights. Then have the computerized building control group use a copy of your holiday schedule to turn on and off your lights and consequently the power to your relay. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the repetition of the future delivery feature on the wrong day. The ata will ring but the plunger won't activate without the power.

power side of solenoid not relay switch.

here is a possible:

use a Analog Station Module (the one with MWI)
use the MWI light voltage (should be around 90Vac) to trip a relay to turn on the coffee. Use one of sandmans latching relays for this. then use a voicemail box to turn the pot on or off, ie. leave a message in the voicemail that trips the MWI on the ASM with MWI that trips and latches a relay that provides 110V to the coffee pot. when you want it turned off just go in and listen to and/or delete the message.

a Message of "coffees ready" will suffice.

Heck, When I was in NY State I heard of one charcter that was tapping the talk battery to run a coffee pot. the NYTEL techs kept noticing the power supply drawing max load on one bank of talk batteries.

check out sandman for phone line powered devices

KSU programming

DOC unit

Call into system, enter COS password, get Intercom dial tone, dial 6 (or other) to trip relay on DOC which then trips the Power Box.

Curly. how about using the PA relay instead of buying a DOC to give you the relay control?

Yes true that would work!

Use the DOC only if you wanted to operate more than 1 item.
I forget how many items the DOC will do.

I forgot to mention but I think I recall Nortel had already thought of this but it never did take off.
You would use the auto dials on an M7310 to select the right alcohol or mix for bars.....when they had the see through casing on the M7310.
