Doorbell

Hardware Home Automation

Having to replace an Aeotec doorbell 5. Tried the latest version from them but it’s not well supported in OH and out of the box it’s crazy loud. I don’t have wiring to a transformer but could probably come up some if needed. Video capability isn’t really desired but I won’t rule it out. I’m really just looking for a doorbell that I can hear when home and generate notifications using telegram for when I’m not home.

I’ve got mostly z-wave devices and some hue lights. Running OH3.1.0m3 on a centos 8 box.

Any suggestions?

Hi @BiloxiGeek ,
I don’t use z-wave deives, but I use enocean devices and openhab as a doorbell.

You can buy a wireless and energy harvesting wall switch or an “old style” looking door bell button with build in enocean.
These devices can be connected to openhab, you just need a usb receiver. Now you are free to set up your bell as you like. Play a tone/audio, send a push notification, run a complex rule etc. Endless possibilities.

Hope this helps,
