Has anyone had any joy with creating this ASAPI integration for Home Assistant?

pergola.fabio · August 8, 2021, 10:41am

Yes, running smoothly for a week now

beccsjb · August 8, 2021, 10:53am

Wow that’s awesome! Need any testers?

pergola.fabio · August 8, 2021, 12:00pm

Testing what?

It already works

beccsjb · August 8, 2021, 12:31pm

Lol touche’ !

Is it available to the public yet?

pergola.fabio · August 8, 2021, 12:54pm

What ? The ISAPI? All is in first post, for 8003, you need to load custom firmware

beccsjb · August 8, 2021, 1:16pm

sorry, i assumed that you had written an integration into home assistant, via HACS or Supervisor add-on store etc.

How are you running the ISAPI commands via HA?

pergola.fabio · August 8, 2021, 1:19pm

Callstatus , is based on a rensor
ISAPI event stream is based on python script…

The addon was for the SDK, i stopped with that , bit still the best option, but a little bit of overkill to run an extra addon just for events

Python script is also in first post

I’ll share a few findings for those who can’t use ISAPI with their doorbell:

Linux-compiled Hikvision SDK doesn’t work on MAC, so I had to extract the libraries from iVMS-4200 app. I’m afraid Hikvision SDK for Linux won’t work on Raspberry PI either. Haven’t tested
My doorbell DS-KB8112-IM doesn’t report button press event’s through SDK’s listening interface. Now I’m wondering if I can connect to the indoor station instead (DS-KH6210)
Using Hik-connect app’s APIs works well. SessionID is actually a JWT and is valid for 24 hours. I was only able to get the button press by specifying indoor station’s serial number, doorbell’s serial number wasn’t accepted. If I can’t connect to the indoor station using the SDK, I’ll be considering to poll the API every second, and hope I don’t get banned by Hikvision or something

pergola.fabio · August 9, 2021, 10:22am

i used the hikconnect API, had it about 2-3 weeks active to get the callstatus, polled every 2 sec, was never blocked
indeed , linux sdk only works on centos/redhat, quite limited… the 32 bit version should work on ubuntu also

thats why i am using the ISAPI, i dont want to setup a seperate linux just for a doorbell, i try to run everything on HassOS … creating an addon was also possible with centos, that worked for me, but quite a big overkill

How do I know whether the current door is open or closed? How to use its own door magnetic sensor?

- platform: rest
  name: Doorbell Status
  authentication: digest
  username: admin
  password: <password>
  scan_interval: 1
  resource: http://192.168.0.XXX/ISAPI/VideoIntercom/callStatus?format=json
  value_template: "{{ value_json.CallStatus.status }}"

How to modify the above code？

pergola.fabio · August 10, 2021, 11:40am

thats for a doorbell , not for door
look first post, what device do you have? an 8003 ? then you need to update to custom firmware

rafhome · August 10, 2021, 1:39pm

Hello everybody. I am a KV8213-wme1 owner. How can I read the status of input one, as shown in the figure below?

I tried with the command
curl -i --digest -u admin:xxx http://192.168.x.x/ISAPI/Event/notification/alertStream

but I receive

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ResponseStatus version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.std-cgi.com/ver10/XMLSchema">
<requestURL>/ISAPI/Event/notofication/alertStream</requestURL>

<errorCode>1073741830</errorCode>

probably not supported on your model

try the SDK (windows only for the moment)

pergola.fabio · August 10, 2021, 5:45pm

are you sure you entered the correct url? i see in response : /ISAPI/Event/notofication/alertStream

notofication instead of notification

G’day Guys,

Wondering if anyone has had a play with the K1T341AM/F and ASAPI yet?

I’m struggling to find what category they fall into; Access Control or Intercom as they do both. I’ve tried a few calls from both documents with no luck, other than an ‘un supported’ feedback.

Paulo_Sergio · August 11, 2021, 7:03pm

i have a 8003 with version 2.2.50, since the custom firmware is 2.2.45 should i be able to update? 'm using ivms but getting an error : the type of upgrade file mismatches

any way around this ?

thanks!

pergola.fabio · August 11, 2021, 7:28pm

Hmm, never tried a downgrade
Maybe it’s possible with the SDAP / batch tool, or maybe with the SDK?

I think on UK portal there are some guides to downgrade , just be careful

Paulo_Sergio · August 12, 2021, 7:50am

i read a bit about the downgrade and i was not very confident i think i will wait for a custom firmware that can be used from 2.2.50, do you think there is a chance for that to happen ?

pergola.fabio · August 12, 2021, 8:04am

hmm dont think so, not soon anyway, i dont even know if the callstatus/stream ISAPI functions will be availabe in an official firmware anyway
i asked, but dont know if they are going todo it
