# Doorbell Ding Dong Ring Ring Doorbell
|
|
|
|
A doorbell chime controller for my house. Runs on a Raspberry Pi and talks to wifi Unifi G4 Doorbells.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Misc
|
|
|
|
Set up user account, add user to `sudo`, `adm`, `gpio` groups.
|
|
|
|
Set up wifi:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ sudo raspi-config
|
|
- System Options -> Wireless LAN -> Canada
|
|
- Enter wifi credentials
|
|
- Reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If wifi doesn't work, you're on your own.
|
|
|
|
For the watchdog to work, we need write access to `/dev/watchdog/`.
|
|
|
|
Configure `/etc/udev/rules.d/60-watchdog.rules`:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
KERNEL=="watchdog", MODE="0666"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change the hostname:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ sudoedit /etc/hostname
|
|
$ sudoedit /etc/hosts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Script
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ sudo apt update
|
|
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv supervisor python3-rpi.gpio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Make sure you have at least Python 3.9 installed.**
|
|
|
|
Clone this repo:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ cd
|
|
$ git clone https://tanner@git.tannercollin.com/tanner/doorbelldingdongringringdoorbell.git
|
|
$ cd doorbelldingdongringringdoorbell/
|
|
$ virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3 env
|
|
$ source env/bin/activate
|
|
(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit settings for your setup:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ cp settings.py.example settings.py
|
|
$ vim settings.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can run the script to test:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ source env/bin/activate
|
|
(env) $ DEBUG=true python main.py # no watchdog
|
|
(env) $ python main.py # uses watchdog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The watchdog will activate if a doorbell is pressed. It will reboot the Pi if the script stops.
|
|
|
|
## Process management
|
|
|
|
The script is kept alive with [supervisor](https://pypi.org/project/supervisor/).
|
|
|
|
Configure `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/doorbell.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
[program:doorbell]
|
|
user=tanner
|
|
directory=/home/tanner/doorbelldingdongringringdoorbell
|
|
command=/home/tanner/doorbelldingdongringringdoorbell/env/bin/python -u main.py
|
|
stopasgroup=true
|
|
stopsignal=INT
|
|
autostart=true
|
|
autorestart=true
|
|
stderr_logfile=/var/log/doorbell.log
|
|
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=10MB
|
|
stdout_logfile=/var/log/doorbell.log
|
|
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=10MB
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ sudo supervisorctl reread; sudo supervisorctl reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Script logs to /var/log/doorbell.log. Remove `-u` from the above command when you're done testing to save SD card writes.
