Notifying Doorbell with PushingBox

• Prepare your material. You need:
• An Arduino + Ethernet Shield
• A Doorbell
• A soldering iron
• A 10K resistor
• A web camera (optional)

• Open your doorbell.
• Solder wires to the button's terminals.
• Close the doorbell.

• Plug the wires into the Arduino.
• One wire on the 5v pin;
• One wire on the 3rd input pin;
• The 10K resistor between GND and the 3rd pin.

Test the connectivity with a simple Arduino program.

• The hardware part is finished. Let's define the way you will be notified.
• Go to http://www.pushingbox.com.
• Login with your Google account.
• Go to the My Services page.
• Click on Add a service.

• Do the same with your Push notification service and click the Back button.

• Your scenario is now created.
• Click on "Test" to test the scenario.
• You should receive a Push notification on your phone and an email.
• Make a note of the "DeviceID" value of this scenario. You will paste it into the Arduino code.

• Download the Arduino source code from the PushingBox API page and open it.
• In the #define DEVID1 line, paste the DeviceID of your scenario. Make sure you enclose it in quotes as shown.
• Compile the code and program your Arduino.
• You're done! Test it, install it on your door and enjoy! :)
