SIP Doorbell Client with ESP Home

So far I came across this little Add-On, called DSS VoIP Notifier. Having it installed on my Home Assistant instance, I am able to:

  • call my landline phones from Home Assistant
  • Bind the Camera Live Feed with the SIP Client using the Fritz!Box Web UI

So theoretically I could now remove the transformer, the Telegärtner TS2-a/b and the DECT-Modul to replace it with a ESP or Shelly, that sends me events/states of the pushbuttons at the front door and the gate.

This solution would be very simple and would allow me:

  • to ring the phones when someone is ringing the door bell, as before
  • show the camera feed on the phone to see, if that person is at the door or at the gate

I would loose the following features:

  • Talk with the person at the gate. The current TS2-a/b has got a speacker and microphone connected, however performance has always been miserably (i.e. not able to understand each other) as such this function has never been used.
  • Open the door by the gate remotley via a button press on the phone. (However that function has also rarely been used, as you can simply reach over the door and open it from the inside.
