Dahua VTO custom integration

j2g2com · February 22, 2024, 3:04pm

I have it configured but I don’t know how to continue… I’ll settle for the door notifying me and being able to open it… but I’m lost where to put said code. Thk

alias: Dahua VTO Llaman a la puerta
description: “”
trigger:

platform: event
event_type: dahua_vto
event_data:
Code: BackKeyLight
condition:
condition: template
value_template: “{{ trigger.event.data.Data.State | int in [0] }}”
action:
choose:
- conditions:
  - condition: template
    value_template: “{{ trigger.event.data.Data.State | int in [1, 2] }}”
    sequence:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_sm_g781b_j2g2
    data:
    message: Llaman a la puerta

yes, I also speak French

I’ll tell you what I have achieved… you are missing the port… port: 80 if you have updated the vto… from there you see the logs and you will see that it already connects and you will have a service called dahua_vto… but one once connected I don’t know where to put the code to, for example, open the door

Is it possible to turn on only the backlight of the call button? ( VTO2211G-WP)

No, Spanish

- alias: Dahua VTO

          sequence:
            - service: persistent_notification.create
              data:
                title: "{{ 'Doorbell Ring' if trigger.event.data.Data.State | int in [1, 2] else 'Doorbell No Ring' }}"
                message: "{{ trigger.event.data }}"
        - conditions: >
            {{ trigger.event.data.Data.State | int == 8 }}
          sequence:
            - service: timer.start

it works in a test automation with this code :

platform: event
event_type: dahua_vto
event_data:
  Action: Pulse
  Code: BackKeyLight

anybody had an automation with doorbell ring and lanch app for cam and button to open the door ?

Thx

myhomeiot · February 26, 2024, 12:56pm

Doorbell events should have State code 1 or 2, see here.
In your log here you can see this event Data.State == 1.

Don’t know what you mean under launch app but if you want to run android application you can check previous messages in this thread.

show_name: true
show_icon: true

j2g2com · February 26, 2024, 6:22pm

I already have the automation to knock on the door and be able to open it, I am missing the most complicated part of being able to talk to the person who knocks… but I think that yes is required and that’s where I get a little lost. Thk

mglc28 · February 29, 2024, 7:56am

Dear Group,
I would like to know what I am doing wrong, I just want to receive an alert in HA every time they press the bell button.

The configuration I have added to the configuration.yaml is as follows:

- platform: dahua_vto
  name: portero-exterior
  host: 192.168.1.53
  timeout: 10
  port: 5000
  username: admin
  password: MyPassword
  scan_interval: 60

Once integrated in HA it shows me the following entities:

But when I press the video intercom buzzer button, no entity responds.

I think it is because it does not show me a sensor called “sensor.dahua_vto” or in my case “sensor.portero-exterior”.

Any ideas?
Thanks

logularjason · March 2, 2024, 8:26am

Thanks for creating this integration. I was able to get it working without too much effort.

Just to confirm, it looks like this integration polls the VTO to learn about state changes (e.g. doorbell button), and it’s not an asynchronous solution, correct?

Background is that I am considering the MQTT path because it appears to be truly async, but there’s a bit more to that including running a docker container…

logularjason · March 2, 2024, 12:32pm

Thanks and I’ve got the MQTT approach going. I like the way it’s asynchronous and think it’s a better design albeit a bit harder to set up for non tech folk.

I just wanted to confirm that the add-on that is the subject of this thread indeed polls the device to determine state.

myhomeiot · March 2, 2024, 8:30pm

Dahua VTO to MQTT Broker and this integration use exactly same (asynchronous) way to work with VTOs, subscribe and listen for events, just this integration can work only with Home Assistant but doesn’t requires MQTT and installation in docker container.

myhomeiot · March 2, 2024, 8:33pm

Yes, you should have sensor.portero_exterior. You should see some messages connected to this integration in Home Assistant log.

mglc28 · March 2, 2024, 10:29pm

Hello, thanks for your answer.

Home Assistant Core
No issues found for search term ' sensor.portero_exterior'

You should search log for integration name Dahua. You can also turn on the integration debug logging.

Hombard · March 3, 2024, 7:18pm

Is there any news on this?

myhomeiot · March 4, 2024, 2:40pm

For two way audio, lets ask @dice he has something working.

mglc28 · March 4, 2024, 10:10pm

Thanks.
The device is PoE, 1080P, HD, VTO2201F-P
