Not getting it...
For now Homewizard playing the man in the middle. When the doorbell send a signal, home wizard send a new Homey compatible code.
THX!
At the moment Homey doesn't react to the button being pushed.
On the other hand it is possible to let Homey send a signal to the bell itself and let it ring.
Hope there is a way to get it to work...
Yes it works, you can pair the pushbutton and Bell separate.
Add the doorbell by adding using copy signal. and press the pushbutton.
I trigger in flows for other things by pushing the doorbell.
You can add a second doorbell to Homey by generating a signal and learning it on the 7000c
You do not necessarily need to learn the doorbell the signal of the pushbutton.
Just did a test with it and on the attic it works and when i trigger the ACDB-7000B in the garden about 13 meters away from homey it also works.
The i have 2 bells spreaded over my house, about 1 11 meters from homey and 3 wall and the other one aprox 3 meters with 1 wall between homey.
The bell functions perfectly...
I added the push button to Homey a long time ago. (Copy Signal)
Just added the same button to Homey 2 without problems. (FW 1.1.9/ App Version 3.0.0) Created a flow
When: Doorbell Pressed
And: -
Then: Send Push Notification!
Works on Homey 2 now the same as Homey 1 before.
I don't have the doorbell itself in use now, it lies somewhere but I Could add it by generating a signal als setting the Doorbel in learning mode.
Could you show us your flow?
O, and sending from Homey at the same time is a problem sometimes, If you receive a KAKU trigger, try a delay of 2 - 4 seconds before you send from Homey a KAKU signal: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/1041
I did hide the little KiKa sender unit behind my curtains next to the frontdoor, and put the new Kika bell ( as a backup ) in my hallway fusebox closet on a power socket. I made a simple flow, so pussing the doorbell, my Homey in the livingroom will flash the led-ring in Red, switches after sunset a HUE light on in the hallway, and tells me that someone is at my frontdoor and play's also a nice ringtone thru soundboard. Works perfect and Homey responds alway's.
ACDB-7000A button with the ACDB-7000C bell.
I also tried to add the button itself, but that doesn't seem to work.
There is an issue open for it here: https://github.com/athombv/nl.klikaanklikuit/issues/5
But there doesn't seem to be much action on it.
For adding the button itself, I don't expect range to be an issue since the HomeWizard was working fine with it in the same location.
