Person Detection Notification with Google Home and Eufy Door Bell

I am mostly working from home recently and my working area is a bit far from the entrance door. I would like to get notified if someone approaches my main door and I wouldn’t want to look at my phone to check who is in front of my door as it is disturbing my work. And for that reason, I have built a person detection notification with Google Home with some help from my Eufy doorbell.

Eufy doorbell has a built in person detection feature which is useful for this project and I already have a Google Home. With that, I expect my Google Home will say “Someone is outside” if there is someone at my front door.

Home Assistant Configuration

To achieve our goal, there are a few steps you need to complete and all is done in Home Assistant configuration.

First step you need to configure Home Assistant to be accessible remotely from internet, follow my guide here Setting Up DuckDNS in Home-Assistant.IO

Second step is you need to install and configure the Eufy doorbell in Home Assistant, follow my write up Integrating Eufy Doorbell Camera with Home Assistant.
