It looks like the chime becomes a WIFI access point for the doorbell and then relays all the data from it to your wifi and then out to the internet.

I imagine it's to send images/videos up to their cloud servers for their app.

My guess is it's the DC supply, If they're using a triac to short the wire, then it needs the zero crossing to disengage. I'll see if I can scavenge up something AC

So I bought a few parts, 12Vac relay, 10ohm resistor, current sensors, to experiment with being able to detect the press of the dorobell. So far no luck, but I'm wondering if my power source might be the issue. I'm using a DC bench power supply, it seems happy running from 7V to 16V, but when...

You know, I went ant took a shower, and I had one of those "Ohhhhhh." moments. What's a normal doorbell chime? An electromagnet, and the DB1 can draw enough current through that coil to power itself. Well, what else is an electromagnetic coil? Relays or Reed Relays ... I wonder if I can use...

Picked up an Ezviz DB1 for my home so I could see when packages were delivered. Also so I could talk to people at the door when they rang. I've got some wonky little digital chime that's not powering the DB1 (as expected) so I just threw in the fuse and figured phone notifications would be...
