KAKU Doorbell transmitter (ACDB-7000B) support

PimVolkert

How can I get the KAKU doorbell transmitter (ACDB-7000B) to work? Can't figure it out

Phuturist

I have this one as well. Would like to see support for it in the future.

Hi @PimVolkert and @Phuturist ;
Are you stuck in the pair wizard or is the flow you created with your doorbell not working?

PimVolkert

Cannt pair it. Actually I cannot pair any of the KAKU transmitters right now (see other post on Wall Switch)

mruiter

Yes, we need support for this, or else when i replace my homewizard i dont have a doorbel anymore if home does not react to it

I'm stuck waiting for a Homey to be able to actually test it ...  

I read in another topic that a 433Mhz listening function is under development, I assume this would enable the adding of this doorbell transmitter just by ringing the doorbell when Homey is in listening mode.

DennisH

Try to unplug your Homey and plug him back in, there is a big chance this will solve your problem.  

jovink

No still no pairing possible

DennisH

@jovink ;
Are you able to pair other devices by copying from the remote?

jovink

Yes I'm.
I have one wall switch and a couple of other devices paired 

PimVolkert

Thanks @DennisH Unplugging my Homey helped. I got the doorbell paired . Next step: a flow 

Reflow

Got the same transmitter, hope this one works well with Homey. And hope it's possible to get a push message on my phone with the ding dong sound like homewizard has 

DennisH

The doorbell is not able to trigger a flow because of a little bug in Homey v0.8.17. This should be fixed in the next update.

jovink

are there other thinks i could try?

DennisH

@jovink You could pair your doorbell as an socket for now.

It don't work. Maybe it is the doorbell it self. 
I'll try it later

Same problem, 
Waiting for the update to support my older switches I jumped in the car to the Homeybach,  bought a new KAKU switch and doorbell to experiment. 
Homey learned the AYCT-102 (at least something works now,  I can confirm the Homey is not broken at the 433 RF)  but learning of the NEW ACDB-7000A fails (Doorbell responds so Pushbutton works)  

Although I learned the Doorbell ACDB-7000C to respond to the on signal from Homey as an Socket.

How did you manage to pair it? As a doorbell or as another sensor type? I have the ACDB-7000B connected to the doorbell using a relais so testing it is kinda hard and I'm not sure if not being able to pair it is caused by Homey or an incorrect installation of the ACDB-7000B.

Also having trouble with this doorbell.... Tomorrow will try to pair the ringer to homey. But I also want to trigger a push when someone presses the button

Still hoping this will work with homey eventually.

I'm almost sure that this is possible with the right app and led strip..

Yup, I can do this once my KAKU ADBC-7000B doorbell is recognized by the KAKU app and version 0.4.0 of the HTTP app is approved in th app store (or I could just install it locally). For the leds I use APA102 LED strips that are controlled by a Raspbery Pi running Hyperion. It accepts websocket calls where I can set color/effects.

In this video I am using the ACDB 7000BC with Homewizard, synology, sonos and hue ledstrips. Hope homey takes over some tasks from Homewizard (love to get rid of that) and synology.

Even een bevestiging dat de .20 update bij mij gezorgd heeft dat de ACDB-7000B perfect werkt.

MartijnDeRhoter

Yup, without changing anything it just sprang into life. Yay!

Did you add it as a KAKU doorbell or another type of device? I just tried as a doorbell but it was not recognized. I may not have it correctly installed though as I use a relay together with my normal bell.

@Phuturist ;
 You two also have a  ACDB-7000A (the type ID on the Push button)? 
I can't pair mine, although code checker sees it.
Did that work for you? what code transmits it?

mruiter

I added it as a doorbel . I have to mention i had to pull the powerplug from the homey before i could add it. But that seems to be the way almost eveytime i want to add a kaku .

Hmmm, I did that as well but it did not matter. Looks like I didnt install it correctly then although I can hear the relay flip upon pressing the doorbell. Cant really troubleshoot it now with kids in bed ...  

@GeurtDijker No, I only have the ADBC-7000B with the intention of setting it as trigger in Homey.

I ditched the relay setup. way to buggy. Used the simple optocoupler with a resitor. plain, clean, simpel, soundless and always working for less then a buck.
On TDers website you can find the info just google it

I had actually already read that and decided to go for a relay setup as the optocoupler seemed like a much complexer solution to me ...   (I'm not all that technical).
