Everyone knows Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and I love that Song so I decided to make this Christmas themed mini project. You think it's stupid? Take a second look.
I took the opportunity to start using PIC micro controllers and doing some CNC milling.
Thanks to the originator of this PD Rudolph design file:

I enjoyed this project even it was stressful to get it up until today (didn't sleep two nights
to finish it). This explains also the garbage I am talking the first 5mins :)
Have a nice Christmas

![Doorbell WiFi Upgrade [DIY, IoT, Node-RED, WLED]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NP7_cPEDocI/mqdefault.jpg "Doorbell WiFi Upgrade [DIY, IoT, Node-RED, WLED]
In this video we upgrade a basic doorbell to send notifications over WiFi. With some power harvesting no battery is required. An optional Node-RED server translates the signal and activates a visual notification remotely. This not only helps if the bell isnt audible but can also be use for hearing disabled people.
Code and Noder-RED flow can be found here:
