I'm going to be 'that guy'....

> How we automated our office doorbell using 3 products already available.

Wrong usage of the word 'hacked' in the original title.

A more hacky way to do it, would have been getting a voice modem dongle that takes SIM cards, and writing software directly to detect/answer the incoming call, verify it's the doorbell, post to slack and wait for auth., then play a WAV back out through the dongle (like a voicemail greeting). Same result, less dependence on 3rd party services, learn a lot in the process.

It's all well and good using 3rd party services if they are available, but sometimes these articles are akin to me writing a post on 'how I found something on the internet using google'.
