Over a year after I first looked at doorbell integration here I’m still struggling to find a solution. I’ve spent probably the last 3 days searching for options online and remain completely stumped - am I missing some options that the community can fill me in on? Currently We currently have a Byr…

Thanks all for the discussion and suggestions. Just to wrap up this thread, I’ve finally cobbled together a solution for myself - integration completed this evening, and now I just need to install the button outside tomorrow. Components RF receiving component kit from Amazon containing an RXB6 4…

I used to have a Byron SX-20T doorbell connected to an RFXTrx hub. Was working well, but was eating the battery too quickly and the range would then not be good enough to be caught by the RFX. I thought of hard wiring power to it, but had no camera by the door so would not see who was at the door.…

Have you thought of a 433MHz receiver and ESPHome?

[image] TazUk: I’m looking to add knowledge of the doorbell being pressed to HomeAssistant. A couple thoughts: Something like a chime detector . Placing and outdoor motion detector (e.g., Smart lighting | Philips Hue US ) near the doorbell so that you are aware of someone approaching and not …

[image] lolouk44: Have you thought of a 433MHz receiver and ESPHome? Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s going to require me to order a set of boards and then assemble them correctly, flash the software and then programme it? I’ve skimmed the esphome site several times over the last few days …

get an ESP32, Plenty come with pins already soldered. Get a 433MHZ receiver. I tested with this one because it had longer range, but it’s not pre-soldered. You could try this one which is pre-soldered but I’ve not tested it. Then get some jump wires to connect the 2 together, solder-free ! Finally …

I appreciate for the suggestion, however with/without the soldering I’m still not looking together to put together something that’s completely home-built for the reasons I’ve already mentioned. Almost all our HA system is built in a straightforward manner to be as easily maintained as possible and t…

For your outdoor motion detector using your Camera. I have a similar issue with no “easy” way to monitor the actual door bell. So, I have the camera trigger all motion detection and using the Amazon Rekognition integration this allows me to define a smaller area and to validate that it’s a person. …
