Build your own smart doorbell and protect your privacy – in one hour, with Massimo Banzi

Summary

Arduino’s blog promotes a live build where you assemble a smart doorbell on an UNO Q board that runs vision locally. The focus is on privacy by keeping data on‑device, but the post offers no technical depth.

  • Arduino UNO Q can run a local computer‑vision model for doorbell detection.
  • Building the doorbell is presented as a one‑hour live tutorial.
  • All data stays on the device, giving full control over privacy.
  • The event is scheduled for Sep 22, 2026, with live Q&A.

DIY makers and privacy‑concerned users who want a hands‑on smart‑home solution should note the approach.
