Doorbell 2.0
Arduino-based, includes lights and a customizable tone.
To do: mount in a stable enclosure.
Troubleshooting
* Check that the speaker is connected to the green terminals of the arduino, and an audio cable is plugged into the intercom box by the top door. * Hit the reset key on the Arduino * Ring the door bell. Does it work? * Re-upload or modify the Arduino sketch
If this fails you can revert to doorbell 1.0.
Want to improve the doorbell? Change the chime? Here is arduino code.
You'll need a USB mini cable to connect. The board is a Freetronics Etherten, but choose Uno in the Arduino IDE.
Improvements & ability to alter light and sound patterns via ethernet will be coming soon.
Doorbell 1.0
Via original intercom box.
Fallback instructions.
Go to the intercom box by the top door:
* Ensure the buzzer switch on the top is set to 'On' * Unplug the audio cable from the side of the intercom box by the door.
Doorbell 1.0 functionality should work
