I check later
But the problem is, if you want to manually start two way audio, that doesnāt work on an incoming call
i had it like :
actions:
- action: "URI" # The key you are sending for the event
title: "HikConnect" # The button title
uri: "app://com.hikvision.hikconnect"
you have android or iphone? Mine on Android 12 is not opening the app
i tested ir before with android 10
but dont use it anymore, its useless ā¦ you cant start two way audio on incoming call, it hangsup then
yep understtod. So far is the only way to get instant clear notification (a ring on the phone). Awaiting development of the SIP for HASS, is it far away?
Itās ready
Ok I see it, unfortunately I use a VM with Caddy as proxy, so not sure how to use the addon in my case (not duckdns)
Hi, been following this thread and I am about to order an intercom but still a bit unsure which model I should go for and this process looks really complicated.
I am looking for an outdoor station only (no indoor station) to communicate with 4 wall mounted tablets via hass. I assume I need to setup freepbx to ring the tablets and give 2-way audio to one table that answers the call? Can Hikconnect communicate at the same time as SIP?
I only have 2 Piās running and donāt want to have a windows machine just for SDK as it looks too complicated.
Would it make my life easier if I try to find a KV8003 with a particular firmware? I have asked a supplier and they have v2.2.3 build 200805.
Can I initially setup the KV8003 with ivms on laptop then use only a tablet with Hass to open the gate after doorbell press?
Thanks, just trying to make sense of all this. Iām new to hass and this is definitely the hardest part i have come across.
If you go sip road, then you loose hikconnect, canāt work bothā¦
You can setup the asterisk add-on, no extra FreePBX requiredā¦ Then you have the choice to use Lovelace sip card, or to install softphones on your tablets
Ok thanks.
I just looked at the asterisk add-on which looks great. Yes would want to use the lovelace sip card. Is early video working now this way?
Which model of intercom is best to get then? and can I run without a hikvision indoor unit?
I only have an 8003, so canāt give adviceā¦
If you use Lovelace card, yes then early video works, because you can just use a camera card
Ok do you know if your 8003 will work without an indoor station?
on sip, it should yes
Ok that sounds promising although I canāt find any documentation to say it works standalone. My supplier said it doesnāt work standalone but I think they refer to communication with Hikconnect which is done from the indoor station?
I know you only have the 8003 but without me reading through all this thread again is there any reason you can think of why I would want to get a different version than this?
no, you are not going to find in in docs, its not official supported
the 8003 , you always need one indoor, its indeed used for hikconnect
it you dont want hikconnect, they you dont an indoor, i can call just regular sip extensions from my 8003 , not a problem
if you really want to go the SIP road, i dont recommend hikvision
have a look at doordbird / dahua
Akuvox has also a nice system, its the only brand i was able to find, where the app on android, support direct media with ringgroups from asterisk/freepbx, they have an option to inject an manual RTSP stream for each contact
Ok thanks for the info. I have been fumbling around looking for the best solution. I was trying to stick with Hikvision as I am familiar with the cameras and ivms/hikconnect. I will take look at the alternatives.
but hikvision works with SIP, but there are better alternatives maybe
really? On the docs says otherwise, now I am confused. If not needed its way better.
So I just need Asetrisk add-on and SIP card, and thatās it, correct?
