Our Story

WiBell was born from a simple question: Why should small facilities pay thousands for a bell system?

It started when a local weekend school needed a reliable bell system. Commercial solutions cost $500-$2000, way too much for a small community organization that only operates a few hours each week. Churches, weekend schools, small daycare centers, and community centers all face the same problem - they need a dependable bell system but can't justify the expense of industrial solutions.

So I built one myself in my garage. Using an ESP32 microcontroller, some basic electronics, and a lot of late nights, WiBell was created. No cloud subscriptions. No complicated installation. Just a simple, reliable WiFi-controlled bell that anyone can set up in minutes.

Today, each WiBell unit is still handcrafted one at a time in that same garage. Every unit is personally assembled, tested, and shipped with care. When you buy a WiBell, you're not just getting a bell controller - you're supporting a small American maker who believes quality technology should be accessible to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need internet to use WiBell?

No! WiBell creates its own WiFi network. You connect to it directly from your phone or computer. No internet connection, cloud service, or subscription required.

How far does the WiFi reach?

The WiFi signal typically reaches about 150 feet (45 meters) in open areas. Walls and obstacles may reduce this range. You only need to be in range when setting up schedules.

What happens during a power outage?

The CR2032 backup battery keeps the clock running during power outages. When power returns, your schedules resume automatically. The battery lasts 3-5 years under normal use.

What's included in the box?

WiBell comes complete with the controller (with built-in bell), 12V power adapter, and a quick setup card. Everything you need is included.

How accurate is the time?

With the RTC (Real-Time Clock) module and backup battery, time accuracy is within ±1 second. Without the battery, accuracy is ±5 seconds.

Can multiple people control it?

Yes! Up to 4 devices can connect to the WiBell WiFi network simultaneously and access the web interface.

What if I forget the WiFi password?

The default password is always 12345678. This password cannot be changed and will always work to connect to the WiBell network.

Does it handle Daylight Saving Time?

If connected to your existing WiFi with internet, WiBell can automatically adjust for DST. Otherwise, you'll need to manually sync the time twice a year.

Can I set different schedules for different days?

Absolutely! You can create unique schedules for each day of the week. Perfect for schools with different bell times on different days.

How do I change the bell duration?

In the web interface, use the "Bell Duration" slider to set how long the bell rings (1-60 seconds). The default is 5 seconds.

Can I test the bell without waiting for a schedule?

Yes! The web interface has a "Ring Now" button that immediately activates the bell for testing purposes.

What devices can I use to control WiBell?

Any device with WiFi and a web browser: smartphones (iPhone, Android), tablets, laptops, or desktop computers. No app installation required.

Troubleshooting

Bell not ringing at scheduled time?
