Then it should Work ;+)
Fabio I did the test, it took around 10 seconds from me pressing the door bell button and the event showing up in your add-on logs with the video_intercom_alarm event. this will happen very often but sometimes the event comes very fast.
I also set it up so when I press the unlock door button from the Hikconnect app it takes a while to open my garage door. (I setup an automation to open the garage door when the door 1 state changes to ON so I can open the garage without switching apps.)
After reinstall mqtt broker, now the configuration works
Dear Fabio,
I’ve completed this project.
And I wrote a nice step by step guide what I managed to achieve.
You can have a look to remember here.
However, my connection to the doorbell with HA was through a wireless link.
I had problems so I gave up as I had no time.
Meanwhile HA was updated to several versions …etc etc etc
Today, after almost a year I managed to restore the wireless link.
But the stream is not working anymore!
Logger: homeassistant.components.stream.stream.camera.front_gate_live_stream
Source: components/stream/__init__.py:431
Integration: Stream (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 17:41:53 (16 occurrences)
Last logged: 18:54:24
Error from stream worker: Error opening stream (HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED, Server returned 401 Unauthorized (authorization failed)) rtsp://****:****@192.168.70.220:554/Streaming/channels/101
I reckon this has to do with the versions which got updated and something is not supported anymore.
Because the password is correct and I can connect to the camera through my IVMS-4200
here is my ffmpeg code for the camera stream
- platform: ffmpeg
name: Front Gate
input: -rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/channels/101"
Can you please advise??? Why can’t connect anymore ???
That’s not related to my addon, but indeed an issue in the http rest sensor integration if I believe… There was an issue on it in GitHub core… But I have no idea about the status, I don’t use that
Found it…
as always you are a star!!
But is there a solution ?? or the camera can’t be added anymore ??
It seems I’ve stayed back.
You made an add-on which i didn’t know until now.
So where to find it to solve the camera and door lock problem ?
My addon does provide indeed all started and buttons, but no rtsp stream, you can use the camera integration for that
I’m installing the docker image now on a QNAP station. Will get back to you
I built the image but the container doesn’t start
under logs I getr the following error
loop[2] find 2 mac and 0 ip
2023-12-05 19:03:12.570 | WARNING | event:start:266 - No handler defined!
What I missed ??
I think you are missing the mqtt stuff
Hello,
I managed to build the image and everything is working again. 
I’ve installed your add-on an external container (qnap) and through MQQT I get the following sensors:
This is so cool!
I’ve also managed to solve the camera stream as I added it to HA through Frigate integration.
It also works very nice. Connection is stable and without problems. (even through a wireless link)
The only problem I can see at the moment is that call-state sensor gives wrong state.
Actually it’s on the rining state all the time …
This is such a shame as I can’t make any automations
Unless if there is a solution for this ?? Have you seen it before @pergola.fabio ???
Hi, on first start of the addon, it’s downloading s huge backlog, give it some hours, it’s clearing all past events… Once done, you are good!!
I wish is just that. A bunch of events.
However since last night the state is still at “ringing”.
It’s on that state for almost 9 hours … Are you sure that I will be good ???
Maybe its time to restart the docker?
What happens if you press the doorbell? Do you see the new event coming in? Maybe it will change to idle
After restart of docker it works as it should.
I will have an eye on it and get back to you.
thank you
