Smart doorbell without camera

[mb2681]

Hi!

First let me thank you for creating products that are great & extremely cost-effective!

Ive been looking for a smart Bluetooth doorbell and haven’t been able to find one without a camera… one day I came across Amazon Buttons and thought that would work perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, they’re impossible to find and maybe discontinued.

So then it dawned on me to make one! I used an old Insignia light switch (also now discontinued) as the case and button… took out all of the hardware but left the buttons… grabbed a wyze contact sensor main component… by passed the magnetic contact by connecting two wires to the Insignia button inside… and there you have it! A new product was born.

The wyze app registers the sensor as open unless the button is pressed, at which time for a second the signal registers as closed. I created a skill with my Alexa to ring and speak a phrase when the sensor is closed and we have a smart doorbell that announces! And… the wyze app also records a video to the cloud for me at the time the button is released because it registers as open by default.

You gus have all the technology already ready… it just needs a few minor tweaks and a slim case… can you make it happen?

They’re currently in the “researching” stage for a wyze button already in the wishlist. You’d probably have better luck voting for that also.

Wyze Smart Button

Wyze Button similar to Flic or Logitech Pop. Another way to think of it would be like a physical Rules trigger. For example, you could put one near (or even on) your garage door opener button. When you leave the house, pressing it will turn motion detection on (or whatever trigger you set up with Rules). Press it again when you come home to disable motion detection. Edit: I suggested this before Wyze had Rules. Updated to say Rules instead of IFTTT.
