Lots of these sort of things use 'tactile' switches. My car remote
control does. And they all seem relatively short lived.


If they are pizeo, surely there's quite a high voltage to be dealt with
?


Not quite sure why they'd be 'pizeo'?


*Shrug*

I saw an array of IoT crap at IBM a while back. "Kinetic" switches etc.
They were pizeo powered. Meaning you could stick them anywhere with no
need for wiring.


I think part of the point of that comment was that it's "Piezo" not
"Pizeo".

I'm not sure anyway if the electricity generating technology in these
'kinetic' door bell switches is Piezo. Take a look at https://www.quinetic.co.uk/
which presumably uses the same method, they certainly don't sat piezo
specifically.
