Hikvision Doorbell / Videointercom integration

pergola.fabio · July 16, 2023, 7:32pm

Have a look at first post, I added some examples there

lrossouw · July 16, 2023, 7:40pm

I think you are referring to the first post of the first thread. I tried those. This device (DS-KV8103-IME2) is the older two wire one. I recall vaguely (I had it working before) that it had a strange URL and I can’t remember what it was, and also I cannot remember where I found out what the URL was.

pergola.fabio · July 16, 2023, 8:04pm

Ah ok, sorry don’t have this device, maybe others can help…

TokarevSergey · July 17, 2023, 1:50pm

So have you tried it?

“rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554”

lrossouw · July 17, 2023, 6:42pm

Neither of those work.

lrossouw · July 17, 2023, 7:47pm

Managed to get it to work in the software I was using. Problem was it did not work in VLC and elswhere but it does work in the software. I was testing with VLC.

Yeah at the moment it is hard-coded, sorry @leonidostrovski for any trouble with your specific setup.
You can track the progress for this specific feature here: Make port 8000 / 1883 configurable · Issue #108 · pergolafabio/Hikvision-Addons · GitHub

Now you can with the last add-on update. I’m finally able to turn off my RPi permanently and use my new MiniPC with a dedicated LXC to run broker.

pergola.fabio · July 26, 2023, 7:03pm

Great you like it, addon is almost finished for final release

Hello does anybody have a video tutorial how to setup asterisk and hikvision doorbell to use in homeassistant to communicate with the doorbell?
i found this Hikvision-Addons/asterisk/asterisk.as.indoor.md at dev · pergolafabio/Hikvision-Addons · GitHub
but it would be nice if anybody has a video tutorial…

pergola.fabio · July 27, 2023, 11:08am

a video tutorial? what does it explain more then those settings? i can just make screenshots of the config?

pergola.fabio · July 27, 2023, 11:24am

Btw, if you are unfamiliar with SIP and you want to use, start with some basic functions, setting up Asterisk, make calls between 2 clients, get famailiar with it… my approach is using the HIK protocol, you dont lear that one 1 day, believe me

gomble · July 27, 2023, 1:55pm

yeah i already installed it and configured but its not working…
I want to do the call over homeassistant if i am at home and somebody pushs the button on the doorbell. I think the video call will initialize faster then the hik-connect app, because in the app i am waiting 5 seconds till a image and sound appears…

pergola.fabio · July 27, 2023, 2:09pm

if you use my indoor setup, there should no delay, cause asterisk acts as extension from the primary indoor, they all ring at same time… also hikconnect should be slow, since the image is coming from cloud

when using asterisk, all is local, should be faster and instant

toktok · July 27, 2023, 8:14pm

First of all. Thank you for creating this beautiful add-on. Unfortunately, its been a while since I have used hass. However, in the that time I was trying to set up the indoor station (DS-KH6320-WTE1) + outdoor station (DS-KD8003) to be completely run by SIP protocol. The experiment used FreePBX as an asterisk SIP server (yes…I’m bad with config files) and was able to relay both video + audio through all extensions and SIP phones. Early video is working when someone calls, and the Door lock on (Normally Open 1) works as intended. Keep in mind that I have updated to the latest firmware version for both devices, and Hik-Connect works for opening and closing both relay modules. However, the only issue lies in the notification platform as it does not receive any messages or push notifications. I will try configuring asterisk (FreePBX) as an extension as per your method and relay my findings.

pergola.fabio · July 28, 2023, 4:35am

Hey, you are correct, asterisk or freepbx doesn’t use push to wake up the softphone…

But what’s interesting, you say you have early video?? Do you see video on ALL sip endpoints when you dial a group of endpoints? That normally is not possible, asterisk doesn’t have a function to send early media to multiple phones… So are you sure you have “early video” , video before pickup when dialibg multiple members?

Anyway, my asterisk approach doesn’t use push…
If you want push you need to setup an proxy like flexisip… Or there are clients like Linphome, if you use those free accounts, like [email protected] you have push too …
There is also acrobits sofphone, that have push , even when using your extension on asterisk

gomble · July 28, 2023, 6:49am

yes that is what I thought
can you take screenshots of your setup?

pergola.fabio · July 28, 2023, 7:07am

But i already shared my config? A screenshot is just the same ? it doesnt tell you more? Why do you want a screenshot of a configuration?

akmonius · July 28, 2023, 7:12am

Hi,

really great addon. I set it up as a standalone docker container yesterday as described here https://github.com/pergolafabio/Hikvision-Addons/blob/d91946d2162bdc3938fe89c854a6972007c516bc/hikvision-doorbell/docs/docker.md

I use an extra mosquitto docker container and have connected HA and the hikvision-doorbell container with it and the login works. I first connected the doorbell and then HA mqtt plugin and HA almost immediatly got the device and entities. But then the entities became “not available” directly.

I tested the doorbell, rang the bell and unlocked the door from inside some times. Here is the log from the doorbell container:

There was no update in HA entities.
So for the last ringing/unlocking I enabled the MQTT debug logging in HA and got this:

2023-07-28 08:26:26.241 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.client] Received message on hmd/switch/outdoor/Door-2-relay/attributes (qos=0): b'{"control source": "494848494849494848xxxxxx"}'

It seems that the connection with MQTT is not an issue but somehow the messages are not reflected in HA entity updates or something like this.

Do you have an advice what I could check or do to make it work?

Thank you very much and best regards!
