Hi

I am recently deaf and am looking into getting my house wired in such a way
that the lights will flash when the doorbell, phone, fire alarm, baby
monitor,
 etc goes off.

I know about the transmitter/receivers you can buy that detect sounds but
I want something more permenently wired into the house.  Turns out our house
has lighting control panels which can turn on/off any light in the house. So
I
was thinking maybe it would be possible to tap into that wiring to make
lights go on and off by integrating some sensors?

Anyone have any thoughts? Know if its possible?  Where should I look for
more?
Call an electrician that does custom wiriing?
