How about a simple timer from Radioshack?
You can set it to go on at 6:00pm and go off
again one or two minutes later, or whenever
you want.
I wouldn’t give up on simple solutions

Just my 2 cents.

Hi there,
The idea that the church bell needs an app is total overkill.
Get a simple Radioshack or Home Depot wireless doorbell
type device and hook up the output to a relay that turns on
the amplifier and the bell tone. (Many times the relay is included,
because that’s how it works!) Even
as to the requirements, to see if an old laptop and LC with an
interface gadget or a $50 timer is appropriate.

Steampunking is always great. For church bells, part of the problem will
be getting the tone, cadence, etc. the way you want it. That was what I

The big sound system companies have departments that specialize in selling

huge overkill so the $6000 price tag doesn't surprise me at all. More often

With something like that you ought to be able to remotely turn on the power to
the amplifier, and play the appropriate sound from the same device that told
the amplifier to turn on. And

Fun and simple. A few hundred dollars for the hardware, a few hours of joy for
