RE: Has anyone interfaced an external system example, sounding a buzzer and turning on a light.

Interesting that this thread just started as I was recenlty asked for something similar but maybe a little more complex.
I was asked if we could connect a button (light a push button switch) to our system and then have the button push turn on a light and make an image blink on a large monitor and log the station where the button was pressed with a timestamp. Then do the reverse when the button was pressed again to turn off the light stop the blinking image and log the timestamp. Calculate the time difference and report on the length of time the light was on and at what station.

This is along the lines I was thinking. I may need a vendor approved device though, so if anyone knows of a vendor device interface as well that would be appreciated.

Try the following searches:
IP Managed Remote Power Strip
Web Power Switch
Internet Power Switch

They are appliances - power strips - that are networked. Plug your
light, alarm, buzzer, etc into the strip and turn the whole strip on and
off remotely. Some of them allow one to address individual sockets.
This one is UL listed and 1U rack mounted:

I have no financial interest in any gadgets mentioned here.
