Elektor Circuit: Touch Doorbell with 555

Idea: Elektor Lab The great advantage of a touch button or switch is the absence of mechanical parts — what is not in it cannot be broken. Because old-fashioned doorbell push buttons are exposed to wind and weather, they become unreliable over time. So why not replace them with a...
