Introduction: Touch-less Doorbell
To avoid contamination of COVID-19 we can use a touchless smart doorbell using cost-friendly sensors.
Smart Touch-less Doorbell :
The first COVID-19 case was first reported in January and after months it is in Lakhs all over the country. The outbreak has been declared an epidemic. According to the World Health Organization maintaining social distancing and keep yourself hygiene are the only ways to prevent contamination. But in this extreme situation, we can't avoid visiting anyone's place. In this scenario, we will use the doorbell but in this case, there is a high risk of contaminating the virus. This problem can be solved by making a touch-less doorbell where you can put your hand in front of the sensor and a buzzer sound will be generated from inside.
Step 1: Components Needed
Step 2: HC-SR04 Obstacle Avoidance Sensor
HC-SR04 is one of the popular ultrasonic sensors. It is commonly used to measure distance nearby ranges, but it was actually to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.

to know more about this sensor and how it works.
Step 3: Circuit Diagram
First, Connect GND to Arduino GND
Second, Connect Sensor Vcc+ to Arduino +5V
Third, Connect Echo to Arduino PIN 9 Then, Connect Trigger to Arduino PIN 10
Lastly, connect the buzzer to PIN 6
Step 4: Code
Download the libraries :
We can download libraries in the Arduino IDE
steps : Sketch -> Include libraries -> manage libraries
