Economy Timer

Published in issue 391, July/August 2009

This circuit detects when a window is open (it can also be used with a door), indicates that the window is open by means of a red LED or a blinking LED, and emits a loud acoustic signal from an intermittent electronic buzzer to remind you to close the window.
The active components consist of a pair of type 555 timer ICs.
