I got annoyed by our doorbell (very loud and heartstopping schrill sound) and I startet building one using a arduino controller but then I realised that it would be much more fun to be able to change/ install doorbell sounds via network on the doorbell, no SD card removing and plugging into the cardreader and plugging back in, just ssh or ftp into your doorbell and upload a new soundfile!
When the new Raspberry Pi model A+ came out it was setteled and I needed a nice enclosure for the electronics and the two loudspeakers.
You even can play internet radio, or make announcements with it.
Updated the python script, added a sql-lite db for logging rings added a command to pause my mpd music player via network in case somebody rings and I hear music and overhear the "bell".
