Convert an existing wired doorbell into a smart doorbell using ESPHome
Convert your existing wired doorbell into a smart, WiFi-enabled, Home Assistant compatible doorbell for just $2. Step by step guide, no soldering required, using ESPHome.
This split allows for controlling those separately, e.g., detecting a doorbell push from Home Assistant, without activating the chime. Nevertheless, the additional stuff is really cheap and are things that, in my humble opinion, every DIY home automator should have in their toolbox (for future projects). However, since I have enough older chargers I could use, and do have a power outlet available in my utility closet (where the doorbell wires are at); I saved myself the extra buck 😉.
