Our Workshop is equipped with speakers in each room which can be controlled centrally. Issue #2 describes these speakers in a little bit more detail.
When discussing a proper usage of these speakers, we came up with the idea of building an enhanced door bell, which should be capable of playing custom sounds and be heard in each and every room.

Features

  • Play MP3 Files
  • Play sound in every room
  • Custom bell button
  • MQTT Control

Hardware

The door bell is based on a ESP32 and thus has integrated WiFi Control.
In order to play MP3 Files, we are using a MP3 shield based on the VS1053B.
The whole thing is powered by a 24V notebook power supply which is attached to the speaker cables.
It is enclosed in a custom casing.

Wiring

The VS1053 is attached to the ESP as follows:

VS1053 Pin ESP Pin
5V 5V
GND GND
DREQ D13
X-CS D5
X_DCS RX2 (D16)
X_RESET EN
CS TX2 (D17)
MOSI D23
MISO D19
SCK D18


Software

You can find the software over on GitHub.

In order to make the ESP32 work with the VS1053B board, we are using a fork of the Adafruit VS1053 Library.

In addition, we are using Paho as the MQTT Client of our choice.

MQTT Integration

/DoorBell/Ring

At every press of the bell button, the door bell publishes "Ring Ring" to the /DoorBell/Ring topic.

/DoorBell/Control

In order to control the door bell, cou can send a JSON to the /DoorBell/Control topic.
The JSON should (for example) look as follows:
{
'command': 'play',
'payload': '/track001.mp3'
}

Within the JSON, the following commands are available:

Command Expected Payload purpose
play filename to play plays the given filename
selectRingFile filename to use as the ringtone sets the given filename as the future ringtone
setVolume Volume (lower numbers = higher Volume) sets the given Volume
listSD none publishes the content of the SD card to /DoorBell/Answer
listconfig none publishes the current configuration to /DoorBell/Answer

Planned Features

  • Integrate a Soundboard


Todos

  • Test the code further
  • Finalize MQTT control
  • Decide on soundboard functionality

Needed

  • Case for the soundboard
  • Buttons for the soundboard
