Using this one for years! Love it!

One thing about the ESPHome doorbell that I like is that it gives smart doorbell functions, but without needing a camera. It makes a nice ,cheap option, especially for people that may already have IP Cameras around the place and not need a camera in the doorbell as well. I should imagine, using ESPHome, it could run quite nicely stand alone, not in Home Assistant, as ESPHome still has a stand alone version that could then go into something else, even Node-Red for those who seem to like that.

@BeardedTinker Жыл бұрын

Agree 100% - simple but can be extended with existing camera and creative automation. It will work without HA, but didn't try to hookup with NR or MQTT.

@MrToup Жыл бұрын

I strongly agree with this statement! I hooked an EspHome to my old doorbell. Not only is it cheaper, but it gives as well a solution when the entrance is shared with another house. I have as well a reolink camera which sends a capture or stream when someone rings the doorbell. This is a game changer as we had only a chime at our entrance which we could not hear everywhere. And I have seen video doorbell working a lot less reliably than this solution.

@@BeardedTinker I use Home Assistant, so I would use it within Home Assistant. I am not a fan of Node Red, but I know some like to play with it.

I've heard of some too 🤣 just messing with @notenoughtech as he's really into NR but also knows he's way around it.

I'm interested in videos of projects you're still working on. Letting your audience in on the process is more to me than seeing a fully finished project. I'm here for the engineering as much as the solution.

I mostly do that stuff on streams. Or talk about that on streams.... A lot of that stuff get's editied out of the video and never released.

It's a great product. I too have the reolink doorbell so I made a template button called "doorbell press" that turns on the relay for 200ms the off again so I can all it from an automation when the reolink doorbell is pressed.

Simple yet awesome automation!!!! Thanks for sharing!

@MrToup Жыл бұрын

Wow, this is a really nice project. I would only miss the extra relay/switch for opening the gate. I really like how easy it is to power the device, though.

@BeardedTinker Жыл бұрын

We need to check with Marcel on maybe version 3a with 2 relays :)

@marcelzuidwijk Жыл бұрын

@@BeardedTinker I could at least have a look into it :) I also want to add an extra "security barrier" as the GPIO is now directly connect and make the esp32 vulnerable. I'm thinking of adding an extra transistor so that it's more repairable after such failure. Also a smaller relay would be nice, considering two of the current would make it quite larger.

How can i use this without a switch but with a physical chime? I have an Aqara G4 video doorbell that runs off of the switch power, but it cannot trigger the manual bell and rather requires a speaker box. Id love to use HA to detect when the Aqara doorbell is pressed and then have an automation to ring the bell once or twice. All of the tutorials ive found include the switch as well.

@BlueSky-cy5nw 11 ай бұрын

I made a simpler doorbell press sensor using a Wemos Mini D1 connected to a ZMCT103C Current Transformer. Just pass the doorbell N or L wire through the current transformer. When the doorbell button is pressed, the transformer sends the current value to the Wemos D1. Then make an automation... if doorbell sensor current is above a certain value, for at least 1 second, send notification on phone or trigger doorway camera to take a snapshot of the person at the door and send it as a notification on phone.

That's a nice way of doing this DIY.

i am about to order from marcel, but my doorbell button has a light, why does it say on the site its not supported ?

@BeardedTinker 6 ай бұрын

The light is problem because there is constant flow of electricity and it's "same" as having button pressed all of the time. You would need to replace the button unfortunately.

Thank you for the great content als always! Does this doorbell show up in Home Assistant out of the box or do you need to physically need to connect it to Home Assistant the first time ?

@BeardedTinker 6 ай бұрын

It should be auto detected. But you can also use Add Integration, select Reolink and add it manually.

@alphenit 6 ай бұрын

Ah sorry I was talking about Marcel's doorbell @06:28 not the reolink 😃, same conclusion @@BeardedTinker ??

@BeardedTinker 6 ай бұрын

@@alphenit nah, I'm sorry - being stupid and not reading the video title :) But again, answer is similar - it should be picked up by HA, and if not, you can add it via Integrations page - ESPHome integration.

I don't see anyone designing projects that use Zigbee module, it seems all projects use Wi-Fi only, that is OK for powered projects but when it comes to battery powered projects Zigbee gives longer battery life? So, any chance of some projects using Zigbee. Good video, very interesting products.

@BeardedTinker Жыл бұрын

I have DIY ZigBee alternative. But since it was a project from Russian web site and some people decided that anything from there is bad, including open source project, haven't done video on it. The biggest issue for ZigBee DIY projects is firmware. There is NO easy way for now to make custom firmware. One option is to buy Dev kit + SDK that costs a LOT of money.. The other is option to use russian tool that creates firmware - free version is limited in capabilities and paid version costs for each device you want to flash (tied to chip I'd). Really would also love to see more ZigBee alternatives

Why not use a shelly 1 in decoupled mode?

@BeardedTinker Жыл бұрын

You could use it - a bit more complex as it requires separate circuit for the bell and additional power for Shelly 1, if I'm not mistaken. Plus it's not working out of box with ESPHome and has no BLE support. But yes, that's also a possibility.

@JellePeters Жыл бұрын

@@BeardedTinker i guess ble and simplicity is the main bonus in this one.

In terms of price, Shelly wins. But that's also to be expected - large vs small quantities can get cheaper parts, assembly,...

1) You can mute doorbell via app 2) You can receive notification even when doorbell is muted 3) Even when not home you can get notified on doorbell ring 4) You can start camera recording when someone presses doorbell 5) You can control lights when someone rings the door ....
