A book like this one: Integrated Circuit 555 Projects , or one of the awesome Forest Mims notebooks, and a tiny bit of electronics background would give you all the info you need to wire it up. That is, if you're of the mind to explore making such a circuit yourself. Or you can just wait for a vendor to implement it.
