Building a DIY Smart Doorbell
The "long range doorbell that doesn't do evil things" seems like a product space that is a bit of a vacuum.We've recently had an office built at the end of our garden. Finding a doorbell that will work from the front of our house has been a futile mission so far. I have little interest in a camera, I certainly have no need to connect anything to my (lack of) smart home. I just want a thing that rings in my shed when someone pushes the house bell."Long range" wireless bells just don't seem to cut it. Everything else is massively over engineered. It's a strange thing that maybe my best solution seems to be running a very long wire down the garden...!
