Linux Doorbell WiFi enabled (Raspberry Pi A+)

thingiverse

I got annoyed by our very loud doorbell with a heartstopping, ear-piercing shriek of a sound, and I started building one using an Arduino controller but then realized it would be much more fun to change/install doorbell sounds via the network on my doorbell without having to remove an SD card or plug it back in, just by ssh or ftp-ing into my doorbell and uploading a new sound file! When the new Raspberry Pi model A+ came out, I jumped at it and needed a nice enclosure for the electronics and two loudspeakers. You can even play internet radio or make announcements with it. I updated the Python script, added a SQLite DB for logging rings, and included a command to pause my MPD music player via the network in case someone rings and I hear music while overhearing the "bell".
