With all these smart devices, what is so smart about them? Does the doorbell know to ignore certain people?
Most of the smartness in this doorbell is simply having the notification go to a different place.
My smart TV still doesn't know what I want to watch, that is should pause stuff when I stand up during the middle of a move but should keep playing the commercials when I stand up so I can ignore them.
Smart means: internet-connected or has a (touch)screen in case of a smartphone.
/rant.
Nice build though, I'll replicate this some time.

- snet0 5y agoReminds me of the infamous "Say McDonald's to end commercial" patent from Sony. You will engage with the advertisement, or content will be withheld.
- bluGill 5y agoThat is what smart is: having technology that works when and how you need it to. Some people would put a sign on the door: "don't knock, just come in", and be comfortable with strangers doing that (the door exists for HVAC reasons) at any time of the day/night. Other people would prefer their doorbell be a few km away from their house and set it only ring during visiting hours. Most people are somewhere between those two extremes. Their doorbell needs to serve how they live their life.
