I turned a 5 wire entry-phone for a shared front door into a smart door entry system. Through home assistant I can open the door with my phone and get notified with the doorbell rings.

# How I made my doorbell smart
### The Problem
I have a simple door entry phone that buzzes when someone rings the bell and lets me 'buzz' them in. I would like some smarts. Firstly I want to be able to notify and automate when someone rings and secondly I would like to be able to buzz people in.
Entry phone systems vary throught the world and so it is unlikely this write-up will work for you, so I have spelt out the general principles I used and the steps I took.
