Doorbell using Fibaro implant FGBS-222

Use a Fibarro implant FGBS-222 device to add zwave to your standard doorbell.
The doorbell will remain working normally, but is gets integrated with Home Assistant. I used some automations that create a snapshot from the servailance camera when someone presses the doorbell, and sends a notification including the image…

Automations

Doorbell3

I created a simple automation that gets triggered by the doorbell, makes a snapshot and sends a notification like this:

alias: Deurbel foto
description: Als de deurbel gaat, maak een foto en stuur naar Telegram
trigger:
  - platform: device
    type: turned_on
    entity_id: switch.smart_implant
    domain: switch
condition: []
action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /config/www/snapshots/snapshot.jpg
    target:
      entity_id:
        - camera.dahua_mediaprofile_channel1_mainstream
  - delay:
      seconds: 2
  - service: persistent_notification.create
    data:
      title: Somebody ringing the door!
      message: '![Foto](https://<mydomain>l/local/snapshots/snapshot.jpg)'
