Also trying to figure this out currently; I’ve just installed a Lorex 2k (B451AJ) doorbell (FW version 2.820.010000000.28.R.20240520) and haven’t had any success with any existing addon I’ve been able to find. All seem to fail to connect.
Can you do a portscan to see what’s open?
Never done this before so hopefully I did it right, this is what I got:
Going to dm you if you don’t mind with some things to try out - hopefully we can figure this out.
Hi guys! haven’t logged in for a couple of days - my apologies. I was hoping it would email me if someone posted… guess not though by default. So I’m still able to access the RTSP stream from my camera no problem - nothing changed for me with this port / stream.
For me, it’s only the MQTT that isn’t working through the dahuavto2mqtt container (running on Unraid). I actually installed nano and was playing with the DahuaVTO.py script inside the container (then re-starting the container each time to take effect).
I was able to get the error codes to change slightly (didn’t document it at all) Specifically where it references port 5000 (line 356). I tried changing this to 35000, 3777 and i believe 37777 (I found some references to these somewhere online). I did try to get nmap working, but first time using it, and was taking forever (i think i was scanning all ports without ping?) not sure.
Anyway, still no luck with MQTT from the doorbell. I’ve been working on a workaround using Frigate for the motion detections based on just the RTSP main stream and publishing these MQTT messages to Scrypted (MQTT Broker) to create a ‘doorbell’… All so I can get my HomeKit notifications back… sigh seems to be working somewhat right now, although i believe it was much better MQTT right from the camera using the dahuavto2mqtt container!
