Ok, this is most probably the most ridiculous and cumbersome way to overcome a problem that could be mitigated by a munfacturer easily, but until someone improves the firmware of the Ezviz DB1 the Home Automation enthusiasts will be stuck without the ability to use de keypress in a simpler way. The…

I’m new to HA with RPi4, I have an EZVIZ DB1 and I’m trying to understand your script which is still difficult for me and I don’t even know where it goes! (including the function that Pihole has that I don’t know about). Do you have a way to create a step-by-step configuration manual to activate an…

Edit 1: Updated to use xtail to account for the way Opnsense handles rotating logs Replicated this for opnsense using a combination of the op by @fversteegen and additions by @DaLass . Steps: Login to Opnsense Ensure that Circular Logs are disabled by going to System > Settings > Logging Check d…

Nice i use dns option to capture the door press and open ivms-4500 in tablet running home assistant in kiosk mode. I have also managed to add edb1c as ffmeg camera and show a flat image on lovelace with these options( auto mode showing new image every 10sec- video filter works only for image not the…

Since recently this hack stopped working. I suspect somehow a firmware update was done by the camera. Tried re-installing the 200321 firmware ( https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/new-rca-hsdb2a-3mp-doorbell-ip-camera.31601/page-101 ), but that didn’t solve the issue. If I now look in the DNS logs the camer…

@fversteegen FWIW, I just completed some detailed traffic analysis of the 200321 firmware, and I definitely still see DNS queries for alarm.eu.s3.amazonaws.com every time the button is pushed. In case it helps, I have details on how I installed that firmware in my post below. In my traffic analysis…

So funny to see you also swapped the button for a white one (I was also fed up with people pushing the camera thinking it was the button :smiley: ) If it still connects to that Amazon URL then most probably the DB1 doesn’t get the right DNS server pushed. Will have a look. Thanks for pointing me in…

Thanks for this - modified the script slightly for my Ad Guard Home setup and seems rock solid!

I’m using the AdGuard add on with HASSOS, could you please explain what you changed in the script and how you accessed the AdGuard log file?

Not sure how to do that in HASSOS i’m afraid but on my router I setup a script that tailed the AdGuard Log and posted a webhook The trick is finding where the querylog.json file is located in home assistant and then figuring out how to run the script. Also you need to change Adguard’s settings fil…

I found that the doorbell stopped hitting the aws if I played with it too much, trying to get detection zones working etc etc… upon reboot it reliably hits that DNS for me 100%
