    Doorbell is always Closed (Lighted)

    I've seen threads talking about using a doorbell, so I bought one and added to my breakout box. However, it is always Closed. I expected it to be always Open, and when I push it a momentary Closed. When I push it, even hold it, the state never changes from Closed.

    Is there some "special" door bell - they pretty much look the same all lighted. I've wired other items to the breakout box and they all work fine. This seems pretty doable if I can get the button ironed out.

    Thanks

    In general, a lighted doorbell button cannot be used.
