Nice, very creative… i created mine using a Shelly1 and linking the doorbell as a switch. Shelly will notice when the switch has been pressed and will send an API call to Homey to fire the event.

I used the following blog as a reference:

> **[Guide | Door Bell smart - Shelly1 per un campanello remoto! | Vincenzocaputo.com](https://www.vincenzocaputo.com/guide/door-bell-smart-shelly1-per-un-campanello-remoto-380)**
>
> In questa guida mostriamo come domotizzare un semplice campanello grazie all'ausilio di uno Shelly 1 ottenendo una notifica sul nostro smartphone quando qualcuno suona alla porta.

Additional (useless?) feature is that i can now remotely ring my doorbell using the Shelly device in Homey
