    Aeotec Doorbell

    So, my doorbell transformer failed. I spent a few hours looking for it and decided I wasn’t going to look in the attic - I’m not good on ladders.

    Previously I used a doorbell sensor to trigger events and while it was satisfactory, I felt the response could be faster.

    After reading many reviews on the Aeotec doorbell I ordered it with certain mods in mind.

    When I removed the old doorbell button, I was left with ugly stucco and a hole that was difficult to conceal.

    I chose a switch electrical plate in bronze that matched our lock. After careful measurement I put it all together.

    One of the major complaints with the Aeotec doorbell is that it requires a solid backing contact point, otherwise when the button is depressed it wouldn’t register with its mother unit. Now, when the doorbell button is depressed I get an immediate chime from the mother unit that is plugged into a wall socket and my announcement of a doorbell chime using PI Sonos-Controller is just a few seconds!

    I am pleased to say it all works well and I think it looks good, too.

      It runs on a battery. Do not connect it to the transformer wires.
