You can try this and this, if it’s works for you than you can think how to automate it using this integration.
Hy,
can someone help me?
I search a cheap dahua video doorbell with wifi.
Is working wit this integration the VTO1301R-W?
Thanks for the reply. The setconfig command returns ok, but doesn’t do anything. And in the DMSS app I don’t get the light icon unfortunately.
Surelly I’m interessed on how did you made the app open, and also close the app.
What tablet are you using?
Thanks!
Sure @zejulio, you can invoke other apps from notifications, in my case I have a android tablet (Kindle Fire 10 HD), to make it work create an script with the following:
alias: Open DMSS
sequence:
- service: notify.mobile_app_kftrwi
data:
message: command_launch_app
data:
package_name: com.mm.android.DMSSHD
- delay:
hours: 0
minutes: 2
seconds: 0
milliseconds: 0
- service: notify.mobile_app_kftrwi
data:
message: command_webview
data:
command: /lovelace
mode: single
icon: mdi:doorbell-video
You need the DMSS HD app installed on the tablet, the first notification open the app, and after a couple of minutes it goes back to Home Assistant App.

Hello,
Many thanks!
How do you manage to open the DMSS app directly to the VTO screen? I need to open DMSS then select VTO from list, then the video start…
Also I try to register the notifications for the VTO no DMSS and it say’s failure…
Thanks,
Julio Silva
No, it is not possible to jump directly to the VTO, only the app.
You need to notify the tablet registered on the HA, in the example is mobile_app_kftrwi, this name will vary.
Also I try to register the notifications for the VTO no DMSS and it say’s failure…
Can you elaborate that?
Yes, I understand.
Can you elaborate that?
On DMSS app, I try to go to VTO settings and activate notifications, so it automatically jumps to the app then someone rings and open the video feed, like on my phone, but it say’s Failure.
I am using the Sonoff NSPanel Pro for this, maybe somethings related to notifications…
Since when I try notifications on HA it only gets me a notification sound, and does not show the notification (text).
Thanks,
Julio Silva
Check the name of the app, there are several DMSS apps, the one I’m using is the HD one, I don’t know which one is supported in the NSPanel, try to change the name to this:
package_name: com.mm.android.DMSS
Each android app has different id, you can check in the Google Play appstore, look in the url bar:
It is possible to use only DAHUA DHI-VTO4202F-MS SCREEN to show dashboard or camera stream from HA?
Not sure about DHI-VTO4202F-MS but in VTH5221D you can add rtsp links for any cameras and you will see it on the screen, you can see this in this user manual section 6.2.1 Adding a Camera.
In order to add cameras directly from HA (using HA proxy), you can try to use link from HA camera entity attribute entity_picture which has access token as well. But if you add cameras to HA using rtsp, I think adding same rtsp link into VTH it’s a better solution.
Go to DMSS app, settings, default page, and pick Door. This way I got the VTO showing as soon as I open the DMSS app 
(Also works on DMSS HD app on iPad)

I would love to get the yaml configs as well.
Do you also get camera view with this integration?
Because I didn’t find a Dahua VTO that also has ONVIF support…
No, this integration doesn’t support cameras, because VTO cameras using regular RTSP/ONVIF protocol and can be added into Home Assistant using build-in HA RTSP or ONVIF support.
Hi. Is it possible to trigger ring alarm (or other sound files) on a VTH display connected to VTO camera, in my case it’s VTH2621GW-P?
Hi Guys … i am totaly new in HA … so i am very sorry for the stupid quesiton but … i try everything, still not work.
I have this configuration in configuration.yaml
sensor:
- platform: dahua_vto
name: Dahua VTO
host: 192.168.88.100
username: admin
password: xxx
scan_interval: 5
timer:
door_lock:
name: Door Lock
icon: mdi:timer
lock:
- platform: template
name: Door Lock
value_template: "{{ not is_state('timer.door_lock', 'active') }}"
optimistic: false
lock:
unlock:
- service: dahua_vto.open_door
data_template:
entity_id: sensor.dahua_vto
channel: 2
short_number: HA
and in dashboard i add button and run service dahua_vto.open_door … so this work fine and my gate work.
but … i try add this button to apple home kit, but still dont see this button 
i see switch for motion detection etc … but not button for open gate.
Can someone write mi steps what i must do?
I will be very grateful … opening the gate VIA dahua doorbel is my first thing that I do in HA … so its little bit difficult for me …
Hello,
AFAIK HomeKit doesn’t support buttons, you can expose lock entity for HomeKit (you should do it using accessory mode, more info you can find here) and use it, or you can make switch like this and expose it to HomeKit:
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
door_lock:
friendly_name: Door Lock
icon_template: mdi:lock
value_template: "{{ not is_state('timer.door_lock', 'active') }}"
turn_on:
- service: lock.unlock
data:
entity_id: lock.door_lock
turn_off:
Sure, if you don’t need the lock entity in Home Assistant, you can remove it from configuration, and in this switch instead service: lock.unlock use service: dahua_vto.open_door as in your button.
Hope this helps.
The protocol has a lot of functions, but I doesn’t seen this functionality. The VTH has settings for 3 types of sounds, call from VTO, call from VTH and Alarm sounds. Call from VTO it’s doorbell, alarm sounds, I think, triggered by alarm subsystem, so you need to have it’s configured and connected some wired or wireless sensors.
Maybe it’s can be solution for you, you can try to make SIP call to VTH and it’s will play call from VTH sounds. You can do it by command line sip dialer, but first try to do it with any SIP client, IP of SIP server IP = VTO IP, user name = extension of your VTH, like 9001#1, password as it’s defined for VTH. You can also configure dummy VTH in VTO configuration and use this VTH credentials for SIP client.
