Just trying to make the alarm stop complaining now and then. It gets annoying. One way it can detect if it has a phone line is to see the on hook voltage. Use to be that fax machines would hang up if the line voltage went too low indicating someone else had picked up the line. But low on hook voltage will fool these systems into thinking the line is busy.

My folks have old timey phones at home with telco powered caller ID displays. No wall warts. Of course they are still on Ma Bell, too. On 8/4/2017 6:07 PM, [email protected] wrote: Nice, thanks.
