Trying to make a puck js doorbell and need advice on range

Also what are you using as an esphome bridge? A smartplug or similar? I've be interested to see how you are powering it, what exact chip it uses and the range you're seeing if it can contact your router and outdoor puck from inside a tv cabinet. I was going to try tasmota myself as all my other esp devices use that but esphome seems simpler for this specific use case.
