as above - would it be possible to modify a magnetic window/door sensor like the aeon labs Z-wave device to report doorbell activity somehow?

Cheers,

This will work fine.
Only problem is short doorbell rings will not be detected without any modifications.

Ah really? I tested the door sensor and it seems very quick to update, even on relatively short triggers.
I suppose I'l have an engineer friend think about this one for me.

Are there any schematics or examples on how to achieve this out there?

Cheers,
