Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are disclosed for implementing a smart dehum circuit that powers a chime which outputs audio in response to detection of a trigger event by a video doorbell. The circuit includes a detector circuit configured to generate a power signal in response to determining that an output voltage signal of a first circuit exceeds a threshold voltage. The circuit also includes a microcontroller coupled to the detector circuit. The microcontroller is configured to generate a chime power signal based on the power signal of the detector circuit. The chime power signal is generated to power the chime in response to detection of the trigger event by the video doorbell.
