Camera GPIO? For usage as doorbell #29

Hi,

has the camera some kind of gpio? I have the idea to use it as a doorbell. If possible connect a doorbell button to gpio of the camera to know if someone presses the doorbell. if pressed send out picture with telegram and maybe a message... "someone ringed the door bell". Now you check the Frontdoor picture with your smartphone, if you like the person write open to your telegram chat. the word open triggers a script on the cam that send a door open command to the frontdoor.

Maybe it's also possible to use the usb port for this?

Regards X23

I do the same thing but in a longer route. I have connected my doorbell on Homebridge to run a Motion Sensor which indeed run my automations with Auto Image Capture from the Camera on Homekit.
