Hi everyone! I need some help with my project. I am doing a project for myself to make my life easier since I am hearing impaired and never hear the doorbell. The idea is simple the doorbell rings, microcontroller detects it and notifies me immediately!
I have thought of two scenarios the first one is the red led in my room where I mostly spend my time turns on.
The second one is the vibration on my phone (android) is triggered on alert and I know someone rang the bell.
The detection part is ready I have programmed my microcontroller and everything works as it should.
I only have one microcontroller (pico w). So I think the option with red led is not possible or is it? I would prefer the led option. But struggle to figure out how to send alert from pico w to my pc or my phone (I do not have any servers at home!). Any ideas are highly appreciated.
For this scenario you don't need a microcontroller.
Just a relay.
Ringing the bell the relay locks and one LED lights up.
When you answer the call, you unlock the relay.
I am in favor of the more practical @ruilviana relay... but if you want to explore tech... "Ring" makes a full-video "doorbell" that provides video to your smartphone (for those times when it's the revenuers).

Post your microcontroller code and describe
how this part is done.
