Disarm Button for AC Bell Buzzer

What is the proper approach for adding a disarm button to this circuit, so that the buzzer doesn't sound until the next time the button is released?

    You've basically described most decent security systems.

    As you enter if you don't disarm within a period ...it goes off.

     

    If its disarmed and you leave through door x it arms.

    This is for a motel. A setup is on the front door to notify staff when someone comes in the door, in case staff are in the in the basement either in the noisy laundry room or simply far down the hall. The tenant of the apartment there and customers continue to complain about the buzzer's noise- and probably 100:1 door traffic is staff:customers. It's more than a little senseless. A reduction in time the buzzer goes off is one thing, but the matter of "people we need to be notified about vs people we can ignore (staff) remains.

    Thats valuable information.

     

    Unfortunately Ben isn't going to fix this, so you might consider shifting it ... but where.

    You mentioned RFID and have some intelligence so maybe Arduino might be the better slot.

     

    The benefit of moving it is that others might follow it, and have some very useful suggetions or have come across something similar.

    The other question is are you doing this for 'love/favour' or reward.?
