Smart doorbell with Xiaomi Aqara button and Google Home
So I have several Xiaomi Aqara buttons. Today I want to explain how to use this button as a smart doorbell that will play sound to your Google Home device through Home Assistant.
All my Aqara ZigBee devices connected to Home Assistant via ConBee II and deCONZ.
First of all let’s create a script that will be executed when button pressed. In your scripts.yaml
:
doorbell:
alias: Doorbell
sequence:
- data:
entity_id: media_player.googlehome4615 #Your Google Home device
service: media_player.turn_on
- delay: 00:00:03 #To make sure we are connected to Google Home
- data:
entity_id: media_player.googlehome4615 #Your Google Home device
media_content_id: https://your.homeassistant.domain:8123/local/doorbell.mp3
media_content_type: music
service: media_player.play_media
- delay: 00:00:05 #The same as doorbell.mp3 file ledgth
- data:
entity_id: media_player.googlehome4615
service: media_player.turn_off
To make doorbell.mp3
available by that url you need to place it to /config/www
in your Home Assistant.
Now we need to create a handler of Aqara button in automations.yaml
:
- id: doorbell_button_handler
alias: Doorbell button handler
trigger:
- event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.lumi_lumiremoteb1acn01_01ef8594_1_on_off
event_type: click
platform: event
action:
- data:
entity_id: script.doorbell
service: script.turn_on
initial_state: true
This automation will call our doorbell script on any type of click: short, long or double. That’s basically it for initial setup. All other things depends on your imagination. For example we can add a notification automation:
- id: doorbell_notify
alias: Doorbell notify
trigger:
- entity_id: script.doorbell
from: 'off'
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
- data:
message: "Someone near your front door"
service: notify.push
