Wireless door sensor needed

I need to monitor a door of its use.



I am thinking of a reed switch & magnet on the door, connected to a RF transmitter with a receiver ~50 feet away, after that maybe record use somehow, or turn on a latching circuit to tell me that the door was used "today".



If it would be X10 through the power line (can do), I would surely want to give it its own house code.



Any ideas what would work best, and at a low cost?



Thanks!

If you don't doing a little hardware modification, you can convert a motion sensor into a wireless door/window sensor. See

and look on the left side under Motion Sensor and select "Modifying to be a door/window sensor.

That site has a ton of other nifty modifications documented too.
