while the sensors 304 306 and or other electronics 308 rotate in one embodiment the first time the knob is turned the system may u2018 wake up u2019 remaining in different modes as required after a certain amount of inaction in one embodiment the system powers down to save energy deactivating the led and sounds in a simple embodiment the sensors 304 306 are contact sensors which are an either an open or closed circuits so that instead of a magnet 302 the activation performed when a notch or bump in said shaft 118 passes by the sensor whether the sensor is mounted in the shaft or in any of the fixed portions of the mechanism like the dead latch and or the trim in another embodiment all or portion of the shaft has simple electrical contact sensors comprised of electrically conducive protrusions sticks and or strips of material placed over it so that rotation of said shaft or spindle 118 causes the electrical portion to come in contact with portions of the sensor 304 306 be it because the protrusion stick point or strip is located in either the rotating portion shaft spindle or the stationary one in this fashion the rotation of the spindle or shaft passes the contact past the sensor which either opens or closes a.
