Encore un colis manqué parce que vous n’avez pas entendu la sonnette pendant que vous étiez dans le jardin ou brièvement chez un voisin ? Frustrant… mais il existe une solution simple : la sonnette connectée. Grâce à elle, vous recevez une notification sur votre smartphone lorsqu’un visiteur sonne – même en déplacement. La sonnette intelligente communique via le Wi-Fi avec votre réseau. Cela offre un grand potentiel pour faciliter votre quotidien. Avec Shelly, par exemple, vous pourriez être informé lorsqu’on sonne, puis vérifier dans l’application de votre caméra connectée qui demande à entrer. Vous pourriez aussi associer le signal de la sonnette à un assistant vocal ou contrôler l’éclairage à partir de celui-ci.
Le principal avantage d’intégrer votre dispositif de sonnerie à votre logement connecté est bien sûr que plus aucun visiteur ne vous échappe – où que vous soyez. Lorsqu’on sonne à la porte, vous recevez une notification push sur votre smartphone. Vous pouvez également intégrer votre haut-parleur connecté, qui vous avertira par exemple lorsque vous êtes à la cave, au jardin ou dans un autre endroit où vous n’entendez pas bien la sonnette.
Mais ce ne sont pas là tous les atouts. Une sonnette connectée améliore surtout le confort et la sécurité. Besoin d’exemples concrets ? Pas de problème.
Une sonnette intelligente peut contrôler et activer d’autres dispositifs connectés. Par exemple, via un relais tel que Shelly 1 Gen3, il est possible d’ajouter une caméra IP. Lorsque quelqu’un appuie sur le bouton de la sonnette, vous pouvez consulter immédiatement dans l’application de la caméra qui souhaite entrer, ou bien programmer une routine.
Cet œilleton intelligent apporte un gain considérable en matière de sécurité, notamment le soir ou la nuit. De plus, si les enfants sont seuls au domicile, ils peuvent vérifier sur la tablette familiale qui se trouve devant la porte avant de l’ouvrir. Veillez cependant à ce que l’enregistrement vidéo n’inclue pas la propriété voisine ni les espaces publics.
Let's take the scenario one step further: if the camera on the door is equipped with a microphone and a loudspeaker, it can also be used as an intercom system. For example, you can tell your grandma that you'll be there in five minutes to invite her in or ask the postman via the intercom whether he'll leave the parcel with your favorite neighbor. A smart doorbell with an intercom function is not only practical but also increases security in the home.
Wonderful, your little one has finally fallen asleep and is having a cozy nap. Of course, the parcel carrier rings just at that moment - the child is awake again and the bedtime routine starts all over again. To prevent this, most doorbells (including analog ones) can be muted. But then, of course, you miss the parcel. So the solution is not ideal either. With a smart doorbell, on the other hand, you receive the push message quietly and discreetly via the app and can accept the parcel. Problem solved.
If your smart home knows that the doorbell is ringing, it can use this information for numerous automations and scenarios. For example, you could program the lights outside to switch on automatically at a certain time, saving you from having to install a motion detector.
If the doorbell is integrated into the smart home via the Shelly system, it can also be used to control an electric door opener. This means you can also open the door when you'reout and about. If you are at home, you can use voice commands to ask Alexa to open the door when the doorbell rings. The prerequisite for this is, of course, that the door opener is electrically controlled. However, make sure that this automation cannot be used by unauthorized persons and that children, for example, inadvertently give the voice command to open the door.
Now that we have highlighted the advantages of a networked doorbell, the question arises as to how a smart doorbell can be integrated. If you are now thinking that the entire doorbell system needs to be replaced and complex wiring is imminent, can rest assured: It's easy with the Shelly Plus Uni. The small module is especially suitable for devices with low-voltage AC and DC applications and enables them to be controlled via the smart home. It has two solid-state relays with potential-free contacts, a pulse counter, one analog, and two digital inputs.
Using the solid-state relays, the Shelly Plus Uni can easily switch door openers, garage doors, or intercom systems on and off, for example. As the relays are potential-free, they can be integrated into existing systems without affecting their power supply. The pulse counter records how often the doorbell has been pressed. Thanks to the various inputs, you can connect different sensors and devices - for example, the button on your doorbell or an electric door opener. So the possibilities are endless.
To make an analog doorbell smart, the Shelly Plus Uni is simply integrated into the electrical circuit of your doorbell and from then on detects the doorbell signal. It then sends this information to the Shelly system via WLAN. The analog chime is retained. Alternatively, you can also couple the Plus Uni with an electric door opener and a button to create a smart doorbell.
If you want the sound signal to be triggered by the door opening, for example when someone enters your shop, you can also use a sensor that recognizes when the door opens or closes - for example the Shelly BLU-Motion to register the movement, or the BLU Door/Window Sensor, which detects when the door opens. The Shelly Plus Uni then triggers the sound.
Installation in the circuit is simple, but should still be carried out by a specialist company. You can find an overview of Shelly-certified installers in your area on our website.
During installation, the power supply to the doorbell is first switched off. The installer then connects the Shelly Plus Uni to the doorbell's power supply. The bell button output is connected to the input signal of the Shelly Plus Uni so that it can pass on the bell signal. A detailed wiring diagram is included with the Shelly Plus Uni. Of course, the implementation always depends on the conditions on-site.
Once the wiring is complete, you can switch the power back on and download the Shelly Smart Control app to your smartphone to integrate the Plus Uni into your smart home. If the small device is in pairing mode, you can add it directly via "Add device" or the "+" symbol. Now simply select the Shelly Plus Uni from the list and enter the Wi-Fi access data. You can see from the status LED on the Shelly device that the pairing was successful. Follow the further instructions in the app and you can integrate your new smart doorbell into automations or scenarios that make your life easier. You can now also use it with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings.
Any bell can be transformed into a smart doorbell with Shelly. But there are a few technical requirements. Classic doorbells are equipped with a transformer and a bell button - the Plus Uni only needs to be connected in between. This means that all mechanical doorbells are compatible with the Shelly module. For electronic doorbells with control units that have a video or intercom function, for example, it makes sense to take a look at the wiring diagram to see where you can integrate the Plus Uni.
Yes, you can connect and control a smart doorbell that communicates via the Shelly Plus Uni with the Shelly Smart Control app on your smartphone.
You can integrate Alexa by, for example, telling her that she has rung and where playing a melody, or triggering a routine with the doorbell signal.
The Plus Uni has two potential-free relays, connection options for digital and analog sensors, and an integrated pulse counter. This means it can be used for a wide range of applications: from counting the pulses of a smart gas or water meter to automating the coffee machine.
