Thanks for your quick response Fabio! Attached to go2rtc config in frigate.yml

I also enabled “insecure origins treated as secure in Chrome”.

Dear contributors, many thanks for this work
Unfortunately, I’m not able to get it work on my DS-KV6113
I receive this error in the log : Error while logging into Interphone: The IP is be locked. Error code:153
I tried everything : change doorbell password, change HA IP…

Your device is probably blocking you, try rebooting your Hikvision, maybe it takes a while before you are locked out again . Dont hammer your device

I wish you good health! Tell me, please! What could be the problem?

not sure, when googling error 17, it says bad IP configuration?

KoSeM · October 7, 2024, 7:47am

login & password - correct

KoSeM · October 7, 2024, 7:49am

I’m sorry!
I just noticed…
sorry to bother you!
thank you!!!

Hi,

I have add-on installed, frigate configured and I get live video feed displayed, created call script but the only working button was unlock door button (recently also stopped working).
In logs I can see:

2024-10-14 21:09:35.632 | ERROR    | mqtt_input:_answer_call_callback:367 - Error while answering call with ISAPI: ('Error while calling ISAPI /ISAPI/VideoIntercom/callSignal?format=json', 11, 'The data sent to the device is illegal, or the data received from the device error.  E.g. The input data is not supported by the device for remote configuration.')

E.g. The input data is not supported by the device for remote configuration.')

How to troubleshoot it?

pergola.fabio · October 15, 2024, 10:25am

No idea maybe reboot the device?

Btw, commands like answer/hangup, only work on a real incoming call…

listhor · October 15, 2024, 10:58am

Thanks, how to automatically pull up or make a notification when there’s incoming call?

pergola.fabio · October 15, 2024, 8:34pm

You can create an automation for that with for example a notification service

listhor · October 16, 2024, 7:23am

Yes but with hikvision doorbell’s entity will be the right one to use for this purpose, “Call status”, “Caller info”?

pergola.fabio · October 16, 2024, 7:47am

none of them there is a sensor …

listhor · October 16, 2024, 4:43pm

One more question, what state or attribute of Call State sensor indicates incoming call?

pergola.fabio · October 16, 2024, 5:35pm

# Home Assistant Add-on: Hikvision Doorbell

## Configuration
**Note**: _Remember to restart the add-on when the configuration is changed._

**Note**: _When the add-on connects to a doorbell for the first time, it might happen that your door station gets stuck, because it is downloading the complete backlog of events. You will also see a lot of false events just give it a while, it can sometimes takes a few hours... A reboot might be required._

The following configuration options are available to be setup using the **Configuration** tab of this add-on in the Home Assistant interface:

### Doorbells
Configure the connection to the doorbells. If a value is not defined, the default setting is used.

For each of your doorbells, repeat the following configuration:

| Option        | Default       | Description                           |
| --------      | ----          | ----                                  |
| name          |               | Custom name for this doorbell (visibile in the HA UI and the sensors names)
| ip            |               | IP address of the doorbell
| port          | 8000          | (Optional) Port of the doorbell
| username      | admin         | Username to access the doorbell

Hello and congratulations for the addon!
I just configured it to work with a doorbell (DS-KV8213-WME1) and two indoor intercoms (DS-KH6350-WTE1). Soon I would like to add two more doorbells with 6 call buttons on two gates that close a transit route. Here’s my question: is it possible to create an automation or a scene to open the 2 gates controlled by the 2 doorbells with 1 single opening command sent by 4 of the 6 indoor intercoms? The other 2 indoor intercoms will only open the gate from which the call came.
Many thanks!

pergola.fabio · October 26, 2024, 2:38pm

Not sure about that specific indoor, but with my indoor station i can use the com ports, the 2 ports you also see in HikConnect
There is no wire attached to it, but if triggered you can start an automation indeed, to open other gates…

simastro · October 26, 2024, 4:58pm

mmmh… I was thinking instead of using the “door unlocked” event on a doorbell as a trigger and {‘control_source’: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’} as a condition to open the gate on the other doorbell… do you think it’s possible?

pergola.fabio · October 26, 2024, 5:12pm

Yes, you can create other automations based on events/attributes

A little bit offtopic but here should be the right people

I’ve got the integration running smoothly. But I’m having issues with the “Generic Camera” to show the snapshots for the dashboard and in HomeKit.
My config:

STILL IMAGE:
http://admin:[email protected]:80/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture

STREAM
rtsp://192.168.x.x:554/Streaming/Channels/1

PROTOCOL:
TCP

AUTH:
digest

USERNAME:
admin

PASSWORD:
password

REFRESH RATE:
15

SSL: NO

When I’m saving the settings, I’m able to see a current snapshot from the camera. When I put the Still Image URL in my browser it works great.

But when I’m looking at the HA Dashboard or when using homekit, the picture does not refresh. I’m getting an error in my HA Log:

2024-10-27 20:31:08.287 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.generic.camera] Error getting new camera image from CAMERA: Client error '401 Unauthorized' for url 'http://admin:[email protected]/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/1/picture'
For more information check: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/401

Someone got an Idea how I can get this running?
