A video emerged online showing a man documenting his entire installation process of a bus stop buzzer as his HDB unit’s doorbell.
TikTok user @ehehkaun1 shared that back in October last year, he had managed to get a bus stop buzzer and a couple of signs from a friend, intending to install them as his home’s door bell.
He began work on his DIY doorbell, connecting the wires from his home to the door bell, wiring them himself and pasting them.
He then proceeded to hang the signs on the corner of his home’s living room before commencing some tests on the door bell.
So each time someone pressed the “stop” button (ie, his new doorbell), the door bell would sound exactly like how it sounds in the buses, and the “bus stopping” sign would light up.
He said in another follow up video that along with the “bus stopping” sign, he also has a “door closing” sign that will light up after about 1 minute and 45 seconds, with 2 chiming sounds to go along with it.
He also installed a button to turn off the chimes as well.
The bus stop buzzer that he got from his friend also came with the original metal rod, you know the one that passengers hold on to while standing inside the buses.
He fashioned the metal rod into a black handle and attached it onto the bell, before installing it right outside his front gate.
Netizens’ comments
- No wonder one bus don’t have bell
- If I ever visit a house like yours I’d press the bell and shout “Doors closing BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP”
- Now for the ezlink pad
- Please expect a lot of disturbance from alighting passengers
- Where did you get this from? so cool
- I press the bell but it seem like I will never reach the stop
- Excuse me can I move in
