That’s probably a backlog of past events, I should stop once it’s download, it’s only first time

steege2 · April 25, 2023, 7:40am

ok wil try to see if it stops after a while, tnx.

pergola.fabio · April 25, 2023, 7:53am

maybe rebooting the device helps, maybe it will clear out past events, not sure

steege2 · April 25, 2023, 8:02am

nope already tried that

pergola.fabio · April 25, 2023, 8:14am

ok, then you need to wait? is it still grabbing events?

steege2 · April 25, 2023, 8:16am

yes, still going

The buttons do work, i can answer, reject a call and can also reboot the device.

pergola.fabio · April 25, 2023, 8:18am

yeah, then you need to wait indeed, i dont know how many events the device keep in history

steege2 · April 25, 2023, 8:36am

Is there an event date or something that can be written to output to see if it is actually getting old events ?

pergola.fabio · April 25, 2023, 8:38am

no, it doesnt display it in logs, i’m still finding a way/method to just grab realtime events, but havent found a way yet

steege2 · April 25, 2023, 9:18am

It stopped grabbing events after 90 min or so. It is now responding to realtime events. Tnx!

pergola.fabio · April 25, 2023, 9:19am

cool, enjoy the addon now

steege2 · April 25, 2023, 9:21am

is this normal ?

[2023-04-25 09:20:01.130][DBG] Alarm chan [0] recv timeout[2]!

I set the log level to INFO

pergola.fabio · April 25, 2023, 9:22am

yeah, not sure where its coming from, not find a way to disable that, just set DBG SDK log to “NONE” , and then its gone , sdk log is not needed, just for troubleshooting

Hi! Did you manage to find a solution? I have the same problem with FAKE calls

pergola.fabio · April 30, 2023, 5:23pm

It’s the backlog of past events, give it a while, once downloaded it should be stable

noureddin212 · April 30, 2023, 9:49pm

Hello Guys
Thanks Fabio for all your help
I am new here I want to take a hikvision what do you recomment for 1 apartement ?
The histroy is so long that I think it is a good idea to have a small resume

Is there some hikvision that support Google Home or a way to do it ?

I was thinking to DS-KD8003-IME1 what do you think

pergola.fabio · May 1, 2023, 12:06pm

If i would buy again, no hikvision for me anymore

igoryu · May 1, 2023, 12:39pm

Thank you for the great work! I am using a Docker image and it is working well. I can confirm that the Home Assistant app is able to display the status of a call and the lock state. Whenever I open the door using a Mifare or the app, the status gets updated accordingly. However, if I open the door using an external ‘Exit’ button located within the perimeter, the doorbell indicates that ‘The door is opened’, but the status in Home Assistant does not change. Is there a bug that needs to be fixed?

pergola.fabio · May 1, 2023, 12:45pm

Hmm, that possibly another type of event , do you see something in the log when you open the door with the exit button? It’s probably classified as an alarm I/O event… You can also build automations based on this type of event
