My house was previously multiple units, and has nice sounding chime doorbell for two floors. I’ve set up a relay board so family members can ring one or the other bell from HomeAssistant. If someone comes to the front door, I’d like them to press a button to ring both.
Obviously I can use a smart button and a simple automation to trigger two relays. But is there some way I’m overlooking to have a dumb, standard wired doorbell button that will ring both chimes without causing either relay to also ring both?
Maybe there’s a DPST weatherproof push button out there that would look nice on the wall?
The relay coils are operated with DC so you can implement the bottom diagram but for the relay circuit, not the bell circuit. Just add diodes between the MCU’s GPIO and relays too, they are probably driven HIGH/LOW and not HIGH/High-Z.
