What would be the benefit of using add-on (Docker based runtime) over integration (Python plugin) in this case?

There is no plan to add it to Home Assistant core yet. Once it becomes more stable, I will add it to “HACS default” so that it can be found without copy&pasting the GIT repository URL. Do I miss any important benefit aside slightly easier installation for a user?

22

Addons and Integrations do two different things.

Integrations are python, add entities, services etc.

Addons can be in any language and run in docker as a separate container.

23

Agree. Technically, Hik-Connect integration can be implemented as add-on too, but I don’t see a point. But maybe I miss something, that’s why I am asking what would be the benefit. :slight_smile:

24

I want this integrated or a plugin for Homebridge please :sob:
Can someone guide me to anyone who is willing to program it?

25

?? Maybe you need to ask on homebridge forum? :slight_smile:

26

Ok all is good :slight_smile: Now priority is to add more features and stable working.

27

In line with Home Assistant recommendations, I pulled out the Hik-Connect logic into a separate Python library. Maybe it helps with Homebridge integration :wink:

@tomasbedrich ,

Hi, i am working in Hikvision Europe and I am resposible for development of Intercom and access control products. If any assitence is needed i can connect you with our integration managers that can provide you API or SDK for Hik-Connect or any device needed.

Hope that will help.

Hi , I have downloaded the SDK before, but I don’t believe there is one for HikConnect itself?
The SDK and isapi is based on local hardware, right?

Some other guy guy implemented the SDK , and it’s working very good, the only problem is that the SDK is only limited to specific OS, like Ubuntu and redhat only … so can you also obtain sources from the library’s? So we can use it for other OS too?

This is very good news :slight_smile:

Good infor will be also if we can use integration with HikVision by local connection not by cloud. But i dont know if possible.

31

There is already local connection, it’s based on isapi or SDK, it’s all available in the other thread

32

What other thread are you referring to?

33

this one, i shared all available ISAP commands that can be used, also custom firmware for 8003
link to SDK developer with python is also there

34

Thanks, its just that in 8 posts by you in this thread there was no link :slight_smile:

EDIT I see that @tomasbedrich mentioned it in his first post, I missed that. I’ll go back to my corner.

What device do you have?

36

Thanks Krasimir! I’ve contacted you via direct message.

37

We are providing SDK and ISAPI for most of the devices.

38

I will check and let you know.
