I want to get the trigger of a wireless doorbell on an ESP8266.
My idea was it to detect if the speaker gets power, because I could not understand the rest of the module
By the way: I am a newbie in electronical stuff!
The problem is that if the bell is triggered once the ESP recognizes the signal for a long time.
I was searching in internet a lot and my assumption is that I need something like pulldown or pullup.
I was playing around with many different resistances (100, 1k, 10k, 100k), but I could not get it running.
And the main issue was that it was not really reproducable for me. I think I should have waited for a longer time between my tests until no more electricity would have been in the modules.
Can't give suggestions without detailed technical information on the door bell, its workings, and actual schematics of your circuit (so no Fritzing produced wall art).
As mentioned before I am a newbie. So what do you mean more details?
I have no specifications from the door bell.
And what is missing in me Fritzing wall art?
I can't produce it with other software!?
Actual schematics would be a start - no software needed, pen and paper suffices.
For the door bell, you need to know what outputs it has and what kind of signal can be found on them. Just randomly connecting stuff is a recipe for disaster.
to be honest I see no advantage in drawing the same with hand what is already in the attached jpg.
And I cannot add more details, because I don't know what.
What exactly is missing?
And for the door bell I can't find any specification.
Does that meant that I can not proceed with my project?
Somewhere is a drawing of your place. Those drawings would show the electrical connections, including the door bell circuit. With the door bell circuit the inferface could be figured out.
The sounds from our electronic door bell is quite loud. I would consider attaching a microphone module to the receiver part of the door bell and set the activation level of the mike module so only the doorbell sound would activate it.
