</div>Would I even need a clock on the Arduino if it's tripping the relay<br>
whenever it gets a signal over ethernet? I am clueless about this, so<br>
maybe it needs a clock to even hold down the relay for 2 seconds?<br>
<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div> <br>You _could_ forgo the RTC and just send it commands over ethernet from a schedule run via cron or something, but you originally mentioned having it run autonomously, but being able to 'kick' the bell by sending a command over ethernet; the ethernet shield for the arduino gets you ethernet (obviously) and a SD card slot. So you could store the buzzer schedule file on the SD card and be able to update it by simply taking it to a PC and editing. That way it would still function when the network or command pc was down.<br>

</div>The Arduino solution looks like the least expensive so far. Do you<br>
have any resource suggestions for getting me going in Arduinoville?<br>
