I have two NS PANEL pro, one in the second floor, and one in the kitchen.
decided to go with the fully kiosk approach with the panels, so I have consistent user interfaces for controlling my devices, and of course more features.
works great, but with this, I lost the the ns panel’s two way intercom, which is a really cool feature to have.
maybe there can be an integration for a famous video calling service e.g. viber, discord, etc.
2way is possible with go2rtc
It is used for doorbell cams
thanks, I’ve heard of go2rtc from time to time, I’ll check it out more.
I was also hoping I could play a ringtone to my ns panel device when a user tries to call it.
any ideas on how to implement this?
I dont know much about nspanel but i presume you can just play tone like media device. Either you send yone to play ot tone save on device and HA send nstrucyion to play. Im sure an automation can do this.
I havent implemented 2way but i think commection is just ON or OFF. So
Play tone >> start connection automatically
OR
Play tone >> user perform ui action to start connection when ready
Latter allows you to send many tone to get person attention and since user action required for connection you get positive comfirmation of person ready for connection
there’s a really cool addon still in development by tech7fox that implements this.
works really good once you set it up.
