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 are connected to Home Assistant via ConBee II and deCONZ.
First of all, let’s create a script that will be executed when the button is 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 the Aqara button in automations.yaml
:
- 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
