Project: Arduino based contactless doorbell

[danielccm (Daniel Consuegra)]

I’ve already got the doorbell list of the project done… That was easy…

Now I’ve gone crazy and I want to have the Arduino send me a notification thru ST that the doorbell had been activated… So that in the future when I have as camera in the main door I can see who it is and potentially talk to them…

I’ve gone ahead and purchased an ESP8266 (actually for the price I got 5…)…

I know I know… There’s probably an easier way to do this but… Where would the fun be?

Now I only need to find a way to get the Arduino and the ST API talking…

Where should I start?

Thanks guys!!!

[DEPRECATED] ST_Anything - Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32

UPDATE 2022-08-17 - Per this recent SmartThings announcement, the Groovy IDE will disabled on September 30, 2022. My best guess is that any existing ST_Anything devices will probably cease to operate at this time, or shortly thereafter. It has been a good 7+ year run for ST_Anything users. I want to thank you all for making ST_Anything a successful project! My son and I really had a lot of fun creating it together, and have enjoyed hearing how you have all used it in so many creative ways. As many of you probably already know, I have moved on from ST and have ported ST_Anything over to Hubitat as “HubDuino”. If you have devices running ST_Anything that you ‘can’t live without,’ at least you know you have options. Another option for ESP8266/ESP32 users would be to use ESPHome along …

You can very easily implement ST_Anything on an ESP8266 as a simple Button Controller device. Then, use the ST_Anything Parent Ethernet Device as you button controller device in any automations you’d like. It will produce button ‘pushed’ and ‘held’ events directly, with no need for any child devices.
