Test and integration of the Blebox Doorbox v2 module

Following the article on the Tedee GO connected lock. The manufacturer Tedee also provided me with a relay module doorbox v2, it is a NO/NC module from the Blebox brand. Polish manufacturer of micro wifi module, I must admit that they are qualitative and there is rather interest because it is sold 69€ when the competition does the same thing for half the price!.

Why did you provide me with this module, well you must suspect it is compatible with the Tedee environment and at the same time Home Assistant. Finally compatible with the Tedee environment yes but especially via the portal, because on the Tedee Smartphone application you can simply activate the NO/NC relay.

This module is sold for around €69 to make NO/NC contact and limited to an input voltage ranging from 12 to 24v. It’s frankly expensive especially since competition like Tuya can sell it to you 2 to 3 times cheaper with wifi or Zigbee.

For this price I hope that this Blebox module doorbox v2 is of quality

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial you will need:

• the wBox application by Blebox for Google playstore or Apple AppStore
• The Tedee app Google playstore or Apple AppStore
• Home Assistant d’installé et opérationnel.
• An 12-24v power supply

Like you, I find that there are a lot of applications to install, but if you use the Tedee or Home Assistant connected locks, the Blebox application will only be installed temporarily while you configure the wifi.

This is the first time I have dealt with this brand and I would also like to thank Tedee for providing it to me. I must say that the product is of excellent quality given the price (sold around €70) it’s the least we expected!
