Specs:
If you buy a Hook Home Automation RF receiver/sender hub, you can then buy pretty much any super cheap ~$5 wireless 433MHz doorbell on Amazon. At one point people were tracking compatible doorbells/other devices here. The doorbell can be setup to trigger pretty much anything, including running Alexa routines, playing songs, turning things on and off, etc. I have this in my home and it works very well. Right now, every time the upstairs bathroom light is turned on, the lights flicker, a window AC unit comes on, and Alexa plays some weird French song downstairs. I keep meaning to disable this... thanks for reminding me, I'll go do it now. โ haha

The only problem :(, the young engineers/group of friends who launched the Hook startup seemed to have graduated and have found employment elsewhere and it looks like they're not selling Hook anymore on Amazon :-/ It was relatively inexpensive, less than $50. Perhaps you can find a used one on there or eBay, marked down?
