Comelit Video Intercom

Feature Requests
85

Hope someone can help with my case. I have a Comelit 6742W “Mini Handsfree WiFi Monitor” which uses a Video IP (ViP) protocol. Unfortunately, when trying to use the integration from @nicolas-fricke, no devices show up even though adding the entry (IP and token) is successful. Doing a netcat test with the IP on port 64100 works (suggested by AI).

I’m not very experienced with coding, so I’ve been using AI to try to figure it out. It thinks that the core issue is that the protocols being used in this integration as well as GitHub - madchicken/comelit-client: Simple CLI to interact with Comelit HUB, Vedo and Comelit Serial Bus use ICONA Bridge/Vedo which mine doesn’t. Instead it uses ViP.

Has anyone managed to get a Comelit 6472W connected to HA?

I continued to have the issue and spent some time with chatgpt on it doing some socket cleanup - you have a PR.

Just in case anybody can use it, I have completed a better workaround to receive notifications when somebody calls:

I created an input_boolean called timbre_comelit_virtual in HA.

I created a hue virtual bulb in home assistant, adding in configuration.yaml the following:

emulated_hue:
  host_ip: 192.168.1.X  
  listen_port: 80
  expose_by_default: false
  entities:
    input_boolean.timbre_comelit_virtual:
      name: "Timbre Fantasma"
      hidden: false'''

Then searched new devices with alexa, which discovered this bulb.

Next, created a routine in alexa: if somebody calls in comelit, light the bulb up.

Finally, created an automation in HA: if input_boolean.timbre_comelit_virtual is on, notify me and switch the bulb off.

Not perfect but it notifies me in a few seconds when somebody rings.

Hello guys.
I was playing around with Claude to get the video feed working and at last I got it working.
I created a custom component.
Right now, we can open the door and see the video feed. I am trying the best way how to implement different things. You may encounter problems. For example, every 25 seconds the video feed needs to be reconnected so we can have a gap of a few seconds. I hope you find it useful.
I plan to continue investigating.
In the documentation I have written that we have notifications from the videoport but I didn’t test it myself.

Hello guys, I updated the video feed to make it smoother. I changed the names of the entities and group them together so you can see some errors regarding this. For the new names to take effect, you need to delete the old integration.
I created too a lovelace card with a play button and a stop button.
I deleted the autostart due to some conflicts with the new way to take the video.
I added a smoother renewal too, every 30 seconds or so you can see a glitch because we renew the video.
The first time starting the video feed can take around 20 or 30 seconds.

Yes @yayitazale , notifications are not working. I couldn’t test them.
I was trying to add the two-ways audio but the app of comelit is a bit awful to test this and it is hard to find the correct way to implement it.

I made an account here to say: THANK YOU. I was really looking forward to integrate this into my HA. I’ll start playing around and can give you further feedback if needed.
