DS-KD8003 - DS-KV8113 - DS-KV8213 - DS-KV6113 - DS-KV8413 and .... integration Hikvision HikConnect Video intercom doorbell

Hi Fabio,
Thanks for the reply, Ive since installed the custom firmware from this thread. The KD8003 is on my local LAN. How would i go about setting it up to allow me to open it and get call notifications through Home Assistant on the Local LAN.
I thought id get my head around it but im struggling to understand this one, where is this add on for the SDK and how do i add it? Sorry about this but this is the first obstacle ive hit setting up HA.

SDK is a few post above, the isapi stuff is on thread start

Thanks i tried the SDK but couldnt get it to work.
I tried this below in my config.yaml Im not sure its the best way but it works. The only issue is that the icon on the lovelace after opening the gate it shows as if its permantly open. Is there away to get this to be a momentary switch?

switch:
  - platform: command_line
    switches:
      gatecontrol:
        command_on: curl -i --digest -u admin:password -X PUT  d '<RemoteControlDoor><cmd>open</cmd></RemoteControlDoor>' http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ISAPI/AccessControl/RemoteControl/door/1

What would you recommend the best command for the bell notification be to put in my config.yaml?

See first post, there is an example for the command to get callstatus (if running custom firmware)

Hi again,

I have the DS-KV8413-WME1(B) and trying to see if possible to distinguish which doorbell has been pressed so I can send an alert to a specific dwelling. Then will use Hikconnect app to answer, etc, but just want to alert the specific dwelling so that not everyone gets alerted for every doorbell press.

Trying to get an interim solution together while I wait for the new Indoor Station to come out later this year.

Thanks.

I tried that before, you want to open hilconnet manually to accept the call? I don’t think that works… You need to enable notifications too in hikconnect, that’s the only way to accept calls…

A better road is to setup an SIP server instead and use soft phone clients…

There is a work in progress for HA, it’s a sip add-on and a Lovelace card… It’s now in alpha stage…

Hi all, been looking at doorbells.
Wanted To ask about the kv6113 in standalone mode.

If I used the iVMS-4500 iOS app. Can I accept the call? From the doorbell button press?

I’m wanting to have the kv6113 fully disconnected from internet. Was hoping to still get 2 way audio working via vpn.

I don’t want to use hik connect which relies on the doorbell having internet. I want to be able to have the doorbell notification enter HASS then I vpn back in to somehow answer the call? Will this be possible?

Why nog use your own SIP?

Does it work well? Video and all?

As I won’t be connected to vpn all the time I would need some kind of notification to alert me I need to answer a call.
I guess I can notify myself when a SIP call comes in.

Can you still open the door lock via SIP call?

Just curious. If you use iOS app ivms 4500 lite and connect to a doorbell. Can you access 2 way talking? Or It doesn’t have doorbell functionality in that app?

Thanks.

Yes, door open works, by DTMF messages… No VPN needed, there is a sip Lovelace card in progress, so you can make calls with HA… If using HA , you can also use the rtsp streams

I copied everything to my Hassio addons folder (on an Rpi3).

I still have the same error

Can you check inside docker if the lib folder is actually copied ? Try to run the script from inside docker, easier to troubleshoot

My configuration is as follows: I have a Rpi3 with Hassio installed as the base OS, not within a docker VM.

I am under the impression that Hassio has a built in docker engine that can hold addons within its own docker instance.

Is this correct? If not I will flash a new microsd card with a docker OS with GUI so i can then run hassio within that.

ah, thats maybe the reason, but if your docker runs, you can access it with this command

docker exec -it “nameoffaddon” /bin/bas

then you can have a look inside addon if the script works? maybe the path of the lib is different? then you can change it in the .py file ? i now pointed to ./ …

i think i know your issue, my hassos runs 64 bit, rpi is 32bit?
if yes, then download the 32bit linux version , the “lib” folder is part of the zip you download

https://www.hikvision.com/en/support/download/sdk/

thanks i will try that

make sure your docker is based on debian/ubuntu/redhat… running the script on RPI doesnt work, since the LIB is not compiled for ARM processor … thats why i created that docker based on debian-slim image…

I am just using the default docker implementation that is provided with Home Assistant.

I think that the SDK method is too complex to install at the moment.

Please can you help me understand how to deploy the ISAPI method to capture events?

What device do you have? Dskd8003? Then upgrade to custom firmware, see first post…
If you already upgrade to latest 2.2.50 release, then you are out of luck, no downgrade possible
