Dahua VTO custom integration

You can try to enable extra logging for integration in Home Assistant configuration.yaml as it’s described here and attach here the log file.

Edit: You can also try to use this integration and see if it’s works with your VTO.

I see that in the logs:

This error originated from a custom integration.

I also tried the other integration, and it also doesn’t seem to work for me.
I see all the entities but none of them is updating, and the camera entity shows nothing.

The only thing that works for me so far is ONVIF, which lets me see the camera well

411

I also see that:

But these are the same username and password that i’m using for the ONVIF, and it works there

412

For the integration you should use user name and password which you use for VTO web interface which you can access by http://VTO-IP

Edit: Can you access your VTO using Dahua DMSS application from the mobile?

413

Thank you. It was a username and password problem, now the sensor is working. I’ll check everything else. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I have connected my DAHUA VTO2022 to my HA.
My door is not directly connected to VTO but to HA with zigbee button.
I would like : When i press “open the door” on DMSS, HA open the door.
How i can see (entity?) when i press the button on DMSS (when i do it, my VTO say “the door is opened” but " [binary_sensor.portier_video_button_pressed]" stay at OFF).

I have seen message with the magnetic sensor but i don’t want to add fire as possible from door to VTO, i don’t want to drill :upside_down_face:)

Thanks for your answer

I wich you can understand, i’m french and i try to not use a translator :slight_smile:

Thank you @myhomeiot for your great work! and for everyone here
I am a newpie who tried dozen of times to understand this without success

I did install HACS and Dahua + Dahua+VTO integrations.
Then I copied your examples to my yaml file but no success!

Here is my full yaml file hope you can help:

Sample commands are provided for some VTH actions, such as setting alarm status and clearing missed call records. The VTH can be configured to stream video feeds from IP cameras other than the VTO. Does anybody know of a command(s) to make the VTH display one of these preconfigured camera feeds?

My use case would be an automation flow such that a motion detection event, if classified by AI tools as involving a person, would cause the relevant camera’s video stream to be displayed on the VTH.

Thanks.

Hello,

In my case in DMSS application when I try open the door which is not connected I get BackKeyLight event with State equal 9 (Unlock failed) you can use it to send command which press your zigbee button which will open the door.

Try Dahua VTO All Events or Dahua VTO automation from readme and check if you get this state when you try to open the door with DMSS application.

Hello,

You copied too much, the readme doesn’t not have configuration - it’s contains different code snippets which you need to use as example to automate your needs. So first try only with sensors definition and after restarting Home Assistant check that sensors in OK state, when add Dahua VTO All Events automation from this example and check events you get, etc

PS: If you a new in Home Assistant YAML programming and you just start integration of Dahua VTO/VTH you can try this integration which is much user friendly.
