Simple Doorbell Switch

Here’s a quick hack I through together to prevent jerks from ringing my doorbell late at night.
Doorbell Switch

 

At first I wanted to do something complicated like setting up a timer or light sensor. In the end I decided to do the simplest thing possible.

Aside from that it gets the job done.
