>Having a doorbell does not need to be complicated.
I'm not sure if your and my definition of complicated are the same in this case

I mean this could be a okay solution for a very certain set of circumstances, but making your visitors scan a QR-Code seems like bad UX, why not have them fill out a form while you're at it?
If I had a situation where it was impossible to run wires through the wall I'd install a old-school knocker on the door and a knock sensor on the inside. UX is intuitive and the knock sensor can still send me things to the phone if I like that.
Wireless doorbells can be found for tens of dollars. You can get them with multiple receivers you can place around your house.
This is even supposing that I want to do that to begin with (I know for sure delivery drivers are never doing it).
Good job on the project, I really mean it. It doesn't matter what you do, it matters that you've achieved it and for that, congrats. But as a practical semi-object, this has to be one of the worst ways possible to solve the problem.
From the owner's perspective I imagine it's at least a little bit simpler to install an app and put up a QR code. Although if they have to print it out themselves I guess all bets are off.

Thank you, those are kind words. I doubt that this is the worst possible way in every context, but working towards better solutions is why we share stuff and ask/give feedback :)
