A simple way to get alerts when your doorbell is rung

I would like to have my doorbell disabled during certain times of the day. Any ideas or starting point suggestions?

What’s the current doorbell device like? And are you willing to replace it?

If you’re willing to replace it, the easiest way is just to replace it with a non-ringing open/close sensor, and then have that open/close sensor trigger whatever sound you like, and put that on your time schedule.

I have a contact sensor on my front gate that I have smart things monitor and send a text to my phone when the gate opens. The text notification sound is my doorbell.

It would be easy to take any DNLA sound device and have that act as the chime part. Basically just play the sound you specified. So instead of having smart things send a text, smart things turn on the DNLA player.
