Project Ideas
Business
Install & Style Service
Offer a turnkey service for homeowners and small businesses: on‑site installation, optimal positioning for head‑to‑toe coverage, USB‑C access planning, app/Alexa integration, and custom faceplate styling. Charge a flat install fee plus upsells for custom mounts, wiring, and seasonal cover packs. Bundle a maintenance plan for battery checks and firmware/connection troubleshooting.
Airbnb/Short‑Stay Host Security Package
Provide a subscription service tailored to vacation‑rental hosts: install exterior doorbell cameras, configure alerts and shared Live View access during guest stays, integrate with cleaner checklists (notify when cleaners arrive), and offer emergency remote‑assist (two‑way talk) if guests need help. Emphasize privacy compliance (only exterior monitoring) and offer turnover reports with timestamped delivery/package logs.
Custom Bezels & Seasonal Cover Shop
Create and sell a line of interchangeable decorative bezels, engraved metal faceplates and 3D‑printed skins for the doorbell online and at local craft markets. Offer personalization (house numbers, monograms, local motifs) and a subscription box for seasonal covers. Market to designers, realtors staging homes, and homeowners wanting a distinctive curb appeal.
Local Delivery Verification Service for Small Retailers
Charge small retailers or restaurants a monthly fee to monitor and verify curbside pickups and local deliveries using installed doorbells. Use motion and recorded clips as proof of delivery/pickup, provide time‑stamped video clips to dispute claims, and offer a concierge callback feature (two‑way talk) so staff can confirm handoffs in real time. Bundle setup, training, and optional on‑site signage promoting contactless pickup.
Creative
Interchangeable Faceplate & Frame
Design and make a series of decorative faceplates and surrounding frames (wood, metal, resin or 3D‑printed PLA) that click over the doorbell. Create seasonal styles (spring florals, Halloween, holiday metalwork) and a quick‑swap mounting system so the homeowner can change the look without removing the unit. Include a thin gasket channel for weatherproofing and cutouts for the lens and speaker.
Parcel‑Box Monitor
Build a weatherproof parcel box or retrofitted mailbox with a dedicated mounting bay for the doorbell so it looks integrated. Use the doorbell’s wide vertical view to monitor packages placed inside, route the USB‑C charge port to an internal access panel, and add padding/anti‑tilt brackets so deliveries don’t block the camera. Add a magnetic latch that triggers a notification to the owner when the door is opened.
Garden Gate Sentinel
Create a decorative post or arbor element that houses the doorbell at chest height, matching landscaping materials (cedar, corten steel, stone). Pair it with a small solar USB‑C charger or concealed battery pocket so the doorbell can be maintained without ladder work. Use the two‑way talk and motion alerts to greet visitors or deter pests, and incorporate subtle LED accents that light on motion.
Welcome Sculpture with Smart Lighting
Craft a small metal/wood sculpture or relief panel that frames the doorbell and hides wiring channels for connecting to a smart bulb or LED strip. Program the lighting to pulse or change color on motion events or when someone presses the bell. The finished piece becomes an artful, functional focal point at the entry that leverages Live View and two‑way talk.
