Does anyone know of any alternatives to the #Ring Intercom system? It doesn't need to support video or even audio, in fact just a push notification would be fine.

Our intercom in our flat is soooo quiet, and you can't hear it on all floors! I did contemplate building my own using ESPHome, but that takes time!

@TwoWheelDev Tried to find some alternative myself and failed and went with the intercom.
With the fact it needs „the cloud“ I isolated it in my guest wifi and connected the HA Integration to the cloud service. Not very happy but pretty stable since some months.

And more. But I like them functional and maintained….
This one looks very well though through with a secondary ringer
I bought some devices from this guy.

An MQTT enabled combined fingerprint reader and doorbell based on the ESP32 MCU and the R503 fingerprint sensor called "FingerprintDoorbell".
