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:
$ sudo raspi-config
- System Options -> Wireless LAN -> Canada
- Enter wifi credentials
- Reboot
For the watchdog to work, we need write access to /dev/watchdog/
.
Configure /etc/udev/rules.d/60-watchdog.rules
:
KERNEL=="watchdog", MODE="0666"
Script
Install dependencies:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv supervisor
Make sure you have at least Python 3.9 installed.
Clone this repo:
$ cd
$ git clone https://tanner@git.tannercollin.com/tanner/doorbelldingdongringringdoorbell.git
$ cd doorbelldingdongringringdoorbell/
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
Edit settings for your setup:
$ cp settings.py.example settings.py
$ vim settings.py
Now you can run the script to test:
$ 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.
Configure /etc/supervisor/conf.d/doorbell.conf
:
[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:
$ 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.
