Smart Doorbell Adapter – Module for Standard Wired Doorbells

Turn any wired doorbell into a smart Home Assistant trigger! This PCB uses a D1 Mini and optocoupler to detect the bell press directly from the existing transformer, no additional power needed. Fully isolated and ESPHome-ready—just wire it in and go.

Story

This PCB allows you to convert a standard wired doorbell into a smart device using a D1 Mini (ESP8266) and an optocoupler, without requiring any additional power supply. The built-in bridge rectifier enables operation directly from the doorbell transformer’s AC output (~8 VAC). Once the doorbell is pressed, the module detects the signal and can trigger automations in Home Assistant via ESPHome.

 

📌 Highlights:

✅ No extra power required – uses existing doorbell transformer
✅ Safe signal isolation via optocoupler
✅ D1 Mini (ESP8266) compatible with ESPHome
✅ Compatible with most wired doorbells
✅ Easy installation – just connect transformer and bell wires
✅ Includes schematic and ESPHome config
✅ PCB layout tailored for seamless integration
