Did this get added in in the .70 update?
It did not.
it did now, but no motion so far. Looking at the PR i do see a note from Klikini, https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/13994/files#r194552231
And this one https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/14933 is still in heavy talks, lots of good work there!
Motion events are available as of 0.72. One thing to note about the motion events is that they depend on a schedule. You can verify that the schedule is setup on the main Doorbird app under administration for the doorstation. If for some reason the schedule has been cleared, HA wonāt receive the event. All squares should be blue.
I noted the upcoming firmware release in the other topicā¦
If i have a schedule for the doorbell, the motion is all grey saying āoccupied by doorbellāā¦
(swapped them around, but no luck so far)
You must go into the motion settings, then click on the schedule in there to edit the motion schedule. I have no idea why they decided to separate them out like that. App flow and UX is definitely not one of their strong suits.
what is the motion sensor name doorbird_[name]_motion ?
Yes, that is the convention if you provide a value for name for the doorstations in your config. If you do not use a name, the devices will use doorbird_{number}_motion
where number is determined by the order the devices are defined in your configuration (starting with 1).
Also, to further clarify, an entity is not created for doorbell or motion events, so you will not see status in the HA interface. You must create an automation that responds to the event by name.
Example in the documentation: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/doorbird/#motion-and-doorbell-events
That did the trick though, but i can only set one (motion, or door bell event) not that i need the doorbel event but still its weird you can only do one. Or am i missing something. (motion is working now with my automation)
If you are referring to only being able to edit one schedule via the Doorbell appā¦ they are in different places. The motion schedule is accessed via the motion options. The doorbell schedule is accessed from the first level of the administration menu. I believe it is called ādoorbell scheduleā. It is very confusing indeed.
Indeed, i think the UX design guys had a party too much when coming up with this interface
Iām having an issue with DoorBird after the recent changes that I canāt seem to resolve. When pressing the door bell, the event doesnāt arrive or trigger in HA. The weid thing is that all individual components work fine.
The callback is correctly registered with DoorBird at http://192.168.0.XXX/bha-api/notification.cgi:
{"BHA": { "RETURNCODE": "1", "NOTIFICATIONS": [{"event": "doorbell1","subscribe": "1","url": "https://xxxxxx.dyndns.be:88XX/api/doorbird/voordeur_button","user": "","password": "","relaxation": "10"}]}}
When going to https://xxxxxx.dyndns.be:88XX/api/doorbird/voordeur_button manually in the browser, the events is received as the automation runs (and a sound plays). Iām not prompted for a password. Even tried this call over the internet, works OK.
My best guess at the moment is that when the Doorbird calls https://xxxxxx.dyndns.be:88XX/api/doorbird/voordeur_button it ends up somewhere else. Any logs I can watch for this or other suggestions?
I can also see the http call in the app and the ādoorbell scheduleā is completely blue under the schedule for http.
Edit: issue seems to be on DoorBird side, a call to a webserver on the internet is also not received when i press the button. Was working fine the las few weeks though
Edit 2: did a factory reset, restarted HA, issue remains.
Edit 3: setting the HTTP Call URL to:
https://192.168.0.XX:8123/api/doorbird/voordeur_button (works in browser)
Does not work
Setting to:
http://192.168.0.YY/io.cgi?DOA3=10 (this triggers a relay)
Works
Seems like DoorBird stopped liking my HA or https.
Edit 4:
Turned off SSL for HA (which had a 100% correct LE certificate) and sett the url override to http://192.168.0.XX:8123/. Working, but Iād offcourse prefer to have httpsā¦
Are you using a self signed certificate for HA or something like LetsEncrypt? Iām not sure if the Doorbird unit supports self signed certificates (but I havenāt looked for it). If it is failing with LetsEncrypt or some other third party verified certificate, it may be worth contacting support.
Iām curious. Can Doorbird let me import my own certificate authority?
Anyway, why not just use VPN and not expose port 8123 to the outside world?
I use Zentyal as my Linux container. Zentyal acts as a certificate authority and lets me set up OpenVPN.
I donāt want to go off-topic, but I thought I would ask about this since itās easy to create certificates using Zentyal and have it host an OpenVPN server inside a container.
The certificate was from Letās Encrypt, but I also couldnāt see anything come in on my webserver via https. I went from 0.68 to 0.73 and had to make the changes required due to the doorbird update. Before it was working over https.
Full disclosure: i went from a rpi1 to a rpi3b+ based on hassos. URLās and IP adresses remained the same though and HTTPS by itself was working.
If someone else has hass_url_override set to āhttpsā¦ā, curious to know if thatā workig for you at the moment.
DoorBird released a new app version today that allows you to trigger an HTTP call when a relay is triggered. Now I can finally open and close my ācustomā garage door from within their app
Can these be added in the HA DoorBird component as monitored events (e.g. /api/doorbird/_relay1 and /api/doorbird/_relay2)?
Maybe also a good time to switch from the legacy API to the http call + schedule combination. And register the event idās for āconvenienceā.
@whitedogbe That should be pretty easy to add.
@Klikini Iāll get to work on this if you havenāt done so already.
EDIT: Went to work on this and found that none of my 3 Doorbirds have received the new firmware.
I donāt have it either. Iāll keep checking this week and let you know if I do, please let me know if you get to it first
Since the last update to the doorbird component each time my doorbird senses motion, it triggers my doorbell automation, which is set to be triggered by a doorbell press. I canāt figure out why.
