I have (finally) successfully intercepted my 433 MHz RF doorbell signal, and, boy am I not sure whether the effort was really worth it. #HomeAssistant #esphome

@andypiper not worth it how so? I love the idea of this. Guessing it is at least lower latency than my batter wifi doorbell.
@UrbanClone well in the end I’m not sure what automation I’ll use it with, and the effort to find the RF needle in the haystack of noise was more than I expected!
@andypiper What device are you using to handle the RF?
@courtney I have an ESP32C3 with RX470C. Trying to figure out the doorbell signal from all the RF background noise was a nightmare!
@andypiper have it play the Wilhelm Scream on a smart speaker every rand(1, 10) == 1 times instead of the regular output doorbell sound. It'll capture your internal anguish and be worth it.
