Smart Doorbell DIY project based on ESP32 (YouTube Video)

Yes. Anyone can create an instructable and share it. Hack-a-day would be another one worth submitting to.

Super, thanks for the information.

Are you planning to do it yourself? Great! :slight_smile:
Where do you outsource the PCB production?

I’we just made a video about how my Smart Doorbell works :slight_smile:
Check it out!

If you could include an LED to improve night time shots, I would buy you immediately one of these right away! :smiley:

Great idea for upgrade in the second version :slight_smile:

And support for AA Ni-MH or Lithium batteries. :slight_smile:

I had a plan to use batteries :slight_smile: There is even space for a battery box on the PCB.

But it turned out that WIFI, Relay, and a quite delay when waking from Deep Sleep, successfully dissuaded me from this idea;)

I’m aware that could be different levels of deepsleep.

Maybe using some L-ion batteries, with higher capacity output may hold longer the ESP32. I have one Xiaomi doorbel and I forgot the last time I recharged the 3 Ni-MH batteries inside of it. Still going.

It uses 6 AA batteries. they say it lasts up to 6 months, it’s true?
How long is the delay?

It lasts more than 6 months, for my use case.

The delay is acceptable, since it’s connected to the mainland Chinese cloud, not locally controlled (unfortunately).
