Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

Looking for a doorbell that works with a SIM card due to the distance of the gate from the house as it is impractical to run a wire or try to extend WiFi.

I don't need video, just to be able to talk to the person. I'm surprised I can't find any products, something where you push the button and then it rings your preset number to which you can answer and speak two way.

Am I just searching the wrong words? The only thing I have found is this guy's instructable, but I have no experience with Arduinos and wouldn't know where to start.

Is there really no consumer products like this? Thanks in advance for any help.
