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

Whytey · June 30, 2021, 5:37am

If your device is connnected to Hik-Connect or an indoor station or a PBX, when the doorbell is pressed the status of the device will go to a state of ‘ringing’ (I think) while it is waiting for someone to answer the call (via the Hik-Connect app or on the indoor station or on a SIP client). When in the call, the status will be ‘in-call’ (I think).

For me, I currently have the doorbell at the outside gate. I have configured it to connect to a PBX but that PBX is not currently running (and nor do I have an indoor station or Hik-Connect). When the outdoor button is pressed, the visitor will hear a ‘busy tone’ for a couple of seconds but my Home Assistant REST Sensor will detect that ‘ringing’ state change and create a notification on my Google Homes and send a Home Assistant Companion notification to my mobile phones.

Maybe I need to write up a bit of a how-to.

Thanks i added in the below and now can see a sensor
``
sensor:
platform: rest
name: Doorbell Status
authentication: digest
username: admin
password: [my pw]
scan_interval: 1
resource: http://192.168.0.xx/ISAPI/VideoIntercom/callStatus?format=json
value_template: “{{ value_json.CallStatus.status }}”
`

ok thanks, i have setup your REST sensor in HA and it says ‘Idle’.

I’ll go home soon and press it and see if i can see anything in logs.

Yes any info you could share on how to use that to send a notification in HA would be appreciated as i’d like to use that info to explore the doorbell press to say increase light intensity/colour at the gate. I get the Hik-connect notifications on my just phone fine so that part is all good.

You can just use automations for that? The status of sensor will change to ringing or something like that

Stealthor · June 30, 2021, 6:05am

i’ll google that, cheers.

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 7:03am

updated first post with that example rest sensor

Stealthor · June 30, 2021, 8:09am

yep it works, can see it change from ‘idle’ to ‘ring’ when the doorbell is calling the indoor station or our phones app. Thanks!

The automation i setup isnt working though - so i created new topic around the automation: First attempt at automation not working

Stealthor · June 30, 2021, 10:06am

is the rest sensor mean to be a ‘sensor’ , a ‘binary_sensor’ or something else in the configuration.yaml?

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 10:12am

No, it’s a sensor

laszlojakab · June 30, 2021, 7:12pm

Just a pyton console app (script) I wrote earlier. See my forum comment on Jun 26

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 7:16pm

@laszlojakab

I am missing something don’t see the script you posted earlier? Can you share again?

Or do you have a gihub repository?
Edit : found something , but it’s quite empty

Can you also explain how to use polling or how to make sensors for doorbell or other events?

laszlojakab · June 30, 2021, 7:37pm

Just created the github repo:) Check now.

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 7:40pm

yeah, noticed, downloading and installing sdk right now
but it only works on windows? i see there is a also a linux variant? maybe we can create a docker container running this sdk?
it probably wont work for HassOs users, right? since there is no way to install sdk? installing sdk is needed right? to have all dll files?

or maybe there is already a docker image with this sdk?

laszlojakab · June 30, 2021, 7:44pm

Probably works on linux too. I haven’t tried it. I haven’t used docker yet so I don’t know:( I think you don’t have to install SDK, you just have to copy files from the lib folder (for windows users, as I wrote I haven’t checked linux SDK yet)

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 7:46pm

ok, lets try without installing, what actual lib files are only needed?

btw , you have a 8003, right? there is also a new firmware coming to have more ISAPI events, also for doorunlock, and swipe events ,

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 8:12pm

@laszlojakab you need to explain that data
why is it constantly changing from ringing to dismissed?

i also opened the door 4 times, with key and badge, but i see more events there?

laszlojakab · June 30, 2021, 8:25pm

I only get “dismissed” when I press red “terminate call” phone icon on indoor station. The array “unlocked by” value is from NET_DVR_UNLOCK_RECORD_INFO.byControlSrc field. From docs: “Operation source information”.

A log from me:

opened the lock by card 1
opened the lock by card 2
pressed door bell to ring
opened the lock from indoor station
pressed red phone icon on doorbell
open-close sensor was always opened during the test (that’s why sometimes door not closed event happened)

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 8:27pm

hmm, what device do yo have? i have a ds-kd8003 and 93xx for indoor
whats your firmware level?

laszlojakab · June 30, 2021, 8:37pm

DS-KD8003-IME1
DS-KH6320-WTE1

hikvision1
hikvision2

pergola.fabio · June 30, 2021, 8:39pm

thats indeed an older firmware, i dont think its related to the indoor anyway
i have newer firmware, i am also missing the “motion detection” settings
maybe thats why i have some strange unusable data, its contanntly changing while i am watching tv
any idea what could be wrong?
