Domoticz

Hi.
I have a standard normal cable-doorbell.
Like this:






Is it possible to connect this to domoticz in anyway?
I think maybe it exist some 433MHz device i can connect to some of the wires in the box?

Any tips?

KaKu has some product for this: http://www.klikaanklikuit.nl/shop/nl/be ... cdb-7000b/ but BEWARE: you can't connect this straight to the wires in your doorbell. You will need some sort of relay, the white wires on the KaKu thingy are supposed to be made contact when button is pressed, not directly connecting them to the 8V AC of your transformer

Build it like this:
Doorbell - 8V AC relay - KaKu thingy (or self built)

And it will work. See also here: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/li ... %5D=finder


If you are very handy, you could also modify a cheap 433Mhz remote and use that together with some components: http://thinkpad.tweakblogs.net/blog/120 ... aar-433mhz

A binary zwave switch could do about the same. But also a seperate powersupply is needed.

I have my router and stuff also in the meter cabinet (where the bell and transformer resides), my cheap 433Mhz uses a 12V battery. I made a Y-wire, so that i can leech 12V from my router
You could do the same with the binary sensor (if you prefer Z-Wave), it doesn't need that much power i think.

Or you could use an Arduino, like described here.
The Arduino needs 3.3V, you could take that from the transformer by using step-up / step-down modules.
However: this requires also an Arduino gateway connected to Domoticz. They're very cheap, but if you already have z-wave, I can imagine that you do not want to add yet another protocol.

Haha damn.
Great idea the Arduino solution.
I already had the ACDB7000 so I used the relais solution running separate from my existing doorbell.


Great descriptions on how to do this can be found here:

Wiring things up


Components needed: RELAIS for the appropriate voltage:


This is how Henri did his wiring:


So I ended op like this:
