I've been tasked with figuring out how to make a call box for our warehouse at work. We have a will call for people to pick up products, but the employee responsible for handling those things (me) is usually elsewhere in the facility.
We want our customer to walk into the will call area and press a button which will momentarily ring a bell (or multiple in various locations) and turn on a/multiple lights. The bell should ring only as long as the button is pressed, but the light should remain illuminated until a second button is pressed by me when I arrive to the customer.
So, how does one build a simple system which has one button to momentarily ring a bell and activate a light, and a second button to deactivate the light?
I know the basics. I could wire in just the bell portion and one button like a doorbell, I could also set up a button to momentarily illuminate a light via relay. Don't know how to combine the two into one and keep the light sustained until canceled (without the customer having to HOLD the button).
