Sorry to disappoint, but that product has been around for years.. it is
not a top seller. So while you are breaking your arm patting yourself on
the back, the original patent is losing money.. I do believe that it is
massively ignorant to put something on the market that is already
patented. You may have to work two jobs to pay off the possible pendin
lawsuite. Please post your Engineering registry number. When working
in the public safety area that is required. I would not be surprised if
Johnson Controls has already purchased that patent. Why don't you design
a system that sorts out the useful posts here from the BS ones.

To all you nay-sayers here...
I created something that does exactly what he's asking for as a senior
design project for my Electrical Engineering degree. Unfortunately,
it's not in production yet as the design is still undergoing
improvements.

You remind me of LT Fuzz in the Beetle Bailey comic strip.
