THE ACOUSTIC DESIGN:

HUMAN HEARING RANGE:   20 Hz — 20,000 Hz
DOG HEARING RANGE:     67 Hz — 45,000 Hz
DOG STARTLE TRIGGERS:  >3,000 Hz, sharp onset, >75 dB

HUSHBELL OPERATING ZONE:

  PRIMARY: 40 Hz sub-bass pulse
    ✓ Human: perceives as vibration/hum
    ✗ Dog: below 67 Hz floor, inaudible
    Method: tactile transducer on door frame
    Propagation: structural (through wood/metal)

  SECONDARY: 2,000 Hz tone, 500ms fade-in, 60 dB
    ✓ Human: clear pleasant chime
    ~ Dog: audible but non-startling
    Why no startle: gradual onset defeats the
    acoustic startle reflex (ASR) which requires
    rise time <20ms. 500ms fade-in = 25× too slow.

  VISUAL: WS2812B warm pulse
    ✓ Human: sees warm glow at door
    ~ Dog: dogs see blue/yellow well but
    warm amber is in their weak range

ANTI-BARK CONFIDENCE:
  40 Hz alone:           99% no bark (inaudible)
  40 Hz + fade-in 2kHz:  90% no bark (audible, non-startling)
  40 Hz + LED:           95% no bark (nothing to hear)
  User selects mode via MQTT config.

RING EVENT → MULTI-CHANNEL ALERT:

CHANNEL 1: STRUCTURAL VIBRATION (40 Hz transducer)
  Felt through door frame, walls, floor.
  Range: same room as transducer mount.
  Latency: instant.

CHANNEL 2: VISUAL (WS2812B warm pulse)
  Seen at door area.
  Range: line of sight.
  Latency: instant.

CHANNEL 3: MQTT → HOME ASSISTANT
  Topic: home/doorbell/ring
  Payload: {"event":"RING","unit":"HUSHBELL-001","battery":87}
  HA automation → phone push notification
  HA automation → Alexa/Google announce (optional, voice)
  HA automation → smart lights flash throughout house
  Latency: 1-3 seconds.

CHANNEL 4: OPTIONAL PIEZO (dog-safe fade-in)
  Audible chime, gradual onset.
  User-configurable: on/off via MQTT config topic.

RESULT:
  Human receives 2-4 simultaneous signals.
  Dog receives 0-1 non-startling signals.
  Visitor sees LED confirmation that bell worked.

SMART FEATURES (firmware + HA integration):

1. RING PATTERN DETECTION
   Single press → normal ring
   Double press → urgent (stronger pulse, brighter LED)
   Long press → delivery (short subtle pulse)
   Pattern detected in ISR, different ring() profiles.

2. BATTERY MONITORING
   Every ring event reports battery %.
   MQTT alarm at <20%.
   Estimated rings remaining in payload.
   HA automation: "doorbell battery low" notification.

3. TEMPERATURE REPORTING
   BME280 on outdoor unit = outdoor temp.
   Free weather station at your front door.
   Published every 15 min via MQTT.

4. PRESENCE DETECTION
   Log ring timestamps.
   HA automation: "unusual ring at 3 AM" → security alert.
   Ring frequency analysis: delivery patterns, visitor habits.

5. DOG BARK FEEDBACK LOOP (v2, optional)
   Add INMP441 MEMS microphone.
   After ring: listen for bark in 5-second window.
   If bark detected: log event, adjust frequency/volume.
   ML model learns optimal frequency for YOUR specific dog.
   Convergence: the doorbell LEARNS your dog.

ELECTRICAL:
  3.3V logic, 3.7V battery. No mains voltage.
  MOSFET isolates transducer from ESP32.
  TP4056 has overcharge/overdischarge protection.
  IP65 outdoor enclosure for button unit.

ACOUSTIC:
  Transducer max output: 75 dB at contact surface.
  Piezo max: 60 dB at 1m.
  Both below 85 dB OSHA threshold.
  Sub-bass 40 Hz: no hearing damage risk at any level.

RF:
  WiFi 2.4 GHz, standard ESP32 output power.
  MQTT over local network. No cloud dependency.
  All data stays on your LAN.

ANIMAL:
  40 Hz primary: confirmed below canine hearing floor.
  2 kHz secondary: within canine range but below startle.
  No ultrasonic components. No frequencies >20 kHz.
  Cats (48 Hz – 85,000 Hz): 40 Hz is below cat range too.

  HUSHBELL IS SILENT TO DOGS AND CATS.

PRIVACY:
  No camera. No microphone (unless v2 bark detection).
  No cloud. No account. No app store.
  MQTT on local network. You own everything.

MQTT TELEMETRY (every ring + every 15 min):

{
  "unit": "HUSHBELL-001",
  "event": "RING|HEARTBEAT|LOW_BATTERY|BARK_DETECTED",
  "battery_pct": 87,
  "temp_f": 72.4,
  "humidity": 45,
  "ring_count_today": 3,
  "ring_count_total": 847,
  "bark_after_ring": false,
  "uptime_hours": 2184,
  "wifi_rssi": -42
}

HOME ASSISTANT DASHBOARD:
  Battery gauge
  Today's ring count
  Last ring timestamp
  Outdoor temperature
  Bark detection rate (v2)
  Ring-to-bark ratio trend (the KPI)

THE KPI:
  ring_to_bark_ratio = rings_with_bark / total_rings
  Target: <0.05 (fewer than 1 in 20 rings triggers a bark)
  If ratio >0.10: frequency adjustment needed.
  If ratio >0.25: hardware issue or new dog.

INSTALL GUIDE:

OUTDOOR (button unit):
  1. Mount waterproof button at door.
  2. Run 2-conductor wire through door frame to indoor unit.
  3. Seal penetration with silicone.
  Total: 10 minutes.

INDOOR (brain + transducer):
  1. Mount transducer on INTERIOR of door frame.
     Use 2 screws. Contact surface must be solid wood or metal.
     The transducer vibrates the frame, not the air.
  2. Mount brain box within wire reach of transducer.
     Velcro to wall or screw mount.
  3. Connect: button wire → GPIO34, transducer → MOSFET drain.
  4. Power on. Connect to WiFi via serial or captive portal.
  5. Configure MQTT broker IP.
  Total: 15 minutes.

HOME ASSISTANT (optional):
  1. MQTT integration → auto-discovers HUSHBELL.
  2. Add automation: ring event → phone notification.
  3. Add automation: low battery → alert.
  4. Add dashboard card with ring history.
  Total: 10 minutes.

TOTAL INSTALL: 35 minutes.
TOTAL COST: $29.43.
TOTAL DOG BARKS ELIMINATED: all of them.
