Dahua VT02202F doorbell button detect ?

[pascalspits]

Hi,

How can I get my Domoticz to detect when somebody is at my door (pushed the Dahua doorbell button) ?

I would like to have a Domoticz device to be on/off when the button is pressed, so I can make Domoticz do different things as a reaction to somebody pressing the doorbell button ...

The Dahua doorbell unit is POE LAN connected, so it should be possible to detect this button-press ?

Thanks in advance !

here is a guy setting it up in Home Assistant ...

... how about in Domoticz ?
Do any of the smart guys in here have any idea how to do it ?
I don't need MQTT necessarily, I only need to update a virtual switch when the button is pushed ... that's all ...

Check this on github: https://github.com/riogrande75/Dahua

Not a finished optioneel for domoticz.
But the .php scripts give a good start for what you are looking for

I'm not a coder ...
anybody know how to modify one of these scripts to detect a button-press on the doorbell and update a domoticz device according to it ?

Does the doorbell have a chime?

Some camera doorbell have a chime, which they control by 433mhz signal. If yours also have that, for scanning 433mhz there are multi tools online.

Sorry, modifying the code on github is out of my range. But i can help you with a code/manual for sniffing 433mhz and switch a dummy device in domoticz.

it doesn't have a chime ... that's the problem ...

the chime is integrated in the indoor screen device ...
this indoor device detects (over LAN) that the button is pressed (so does Home Assistant, through API) ...

so, I need to sniff out (API ?) when the button is pressed to update a dummy device in Domoticz

makes sense ?

A 2mn search shows this:

Looks there is no way to setup, for instance, some http command that may drive a domoticz (virtual) switch through JSON API. So only some pooling may be done programmatically.

But according to this message, alarm output on the device may be used to drive a device able to report ring button status? At the end, another option looks to be using FTP snapshots upload configuration when someone rings, by monitoring a ftp server on PI side.

Dahua may have been smarter on this, by allowing setup a http command to be sent on rings... Not being a coder, forget this.

Found this, maybe it opens an option

Didn't looked deep in it. Don't know if docker is needed or optional, mqtt is needed
