This quick guide is perfect for beginners and DIY enthusiasts. Say goodbye to wires and hello to a personalized, hassle-free doorbell experience. Let's get started on this simple and fun project!

What You'll Need:

1. HT12D RF Decoder Module
2. HT12E RF Encoder Module
3. RF433 Wireless Transmitter and Receiver Modules
4. Buzzer
5. Resistance
6. Breadboard
7. Jumper Wires
8. Perfboard
9. Power Supply (9V Battery )

Traditional doorbells come with the headache of wiring, making installation a daunting task. With a wireless doorbell, you can say goodbye to drilling holes and running cables through your walls. The HT12D and HT12E RF433 modules offer a straightforward solution, enabling seamless communication between your doorbell button and receiver.

The HT12E is an encoding IC that links the transmitter module to the circuit with 4 data transfer pins, allowing the transmission of 4 bits of data. It includes an 8-bit encryption feature, ensuring data acceptance by the receiver only when both switch configurations match.

Connect a dip switch to pins 1-8 on both HT12E and HT12D ICs, grounding the other end. This setup ensures only a transmitter with the same switch configuration as the receiver can control it.

Now that you've successfully set up the transmitter, let's move on to building the receiver using the HT12D RF Decoder Module and the RF433 Wireless Receiver Module.

The HT12D is a decoding IC that interfaces between the Receiver module and the circuit with 4 data transfer pins, allowing the reception of 4 bits of data.

It also features an 8-bit encryption, ensuring data acceptance by the receiver only when both switch configurations match. Connect a dip switch to pins 1-8 on both ICs (HT12E and HT12D), grounding the other end.

This setup ensures that only a transmitter with the same switch configuration as the receiver can control it.

You've completed the setup! Press the button on the transmitter circuit and listen for the buzzer beep.

In case there's no beep, first, inspect for any loose connections. Then, cross-check all the connections by referring to the accompanying pictures.
