WiFi Doorbell Topic is solved

[Derik]

Anyone have experience with the RING doorbell .

Or a better alternative

I've wanted something like this for ages. I backed iBell on Kickstarter which estimated delivery in August 2014. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/729057054/i-bell
Alas, I'm still waiting now!

It works, but for me the most important feature is still not there. They promised a API and up till today it's still not there..

Is the camera clear all time?
What is the angle of the camera? [ my camera should hang on 1.2M can you see then large people?
How is the sound?
Integrate with Domoticz?
Did you work with motion in Domoticz?
What can you do with a api, what is the thing you miss now?

About the ring.com doorcam: A friend of mine has it and says that the batteries drain really fast.
Also, for as far as I know, you cannot hook it up to Domoticz.
For USD 200, you can better hook up a cheap webcam, connected to a Pi (IMHO).

[Derik]

battery or a poweradapter...
The options from ring are better then a pi cam...
Can you see the camera in the lan?
Then it is perhaps visible in Domoticz?

[brunod]

I have the ring.com doorbell also.
But there is no awareness on your Lan of the camera. So it is not possible yet (awaiting the api connection) to connect to the camera from within Domoticz.

Here you see a pic from my camera:

mmm

What are the dimensions of the height ?

Not really goed in my eyes...
And a picture bij night...?

[brunod]

The distortion of the image was because I played an avi and made an Alt-Printscreen of it.
It does not deliver pictures yet but only video's which are stored in the Ring.com cloud.
I have no video during darkness. It also does not have any infra-red lightning.
So it depends on a external light source.

I just noticed this Wifi doorbell:

May be that this one working in Domoticz? Anyone?

[Derik]

I see a lot wifi bells..
Only do they have a api, so the camera is visible in domoticz?
So i can see the pictures, perhaps install motion, etc etc on the camera...

This looks interesting: http://zilink.en.alibaba.com/product/19 ... amera.html

I enquired for price and was quoted $55 for the wifi bell and $4 for the wireless indoor chime!

[Derik]

Only is this camera visible in Domoticz?

Is the WiFi camera open for a lan device?

[markk]

I ordered one today. Unfortunately, I'm not the best person to test all Domoticz comparability possibilities due to my limited knowledge on these things. I'd be quite happy with the remote video/audio function to be kept on the separate dedicated app to be honest. The possibility of setting the doorbell to trigger other events via RFXCom and Domoticz could be useful though and may be possible since the bell can link to a 433mhz wirefree chime.

Looks nice this cowbell! (i wonder what the ringtone sounds like)
Price is also nice.
Keep us posted if it will work in Domoticz!

Seems this person has the Zilink doorbell: http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/lis ... es/1636938

[markk]

Looks like DHL tried to deliver the Zilink one I ordered yesterday whilst I am on holiday. Ironically, I should have had a wifi doorbell so I could have asked The delivery driver to leave the item! I'll have to collect it from the depot when I get home now

I have been thinking about a "wifi" doorbell for a while now - and I finally purchased the "Ring" doorbell, some great reviews out there, its really responsive and ticks almost every box... the main one it doesn't tick is domoticz integration.. but after a bit of playing I found that it is actually quite easy to add it to domoticz.

I looked at my DHCP log to find its IP address (192.168.0.6)
Ping 192.168.0.6 and there is no response
OK so as stated above it doesn't seem to be LAN aware

Turns out there must be some mechanism that starts the LAN when there is a doorbell push or motion detected.

So after a door bell push or motion detection you CAN ping the device, thus just add it as a ping test device and the rest is just logic to deal with what you want.

Does your door Bell app show a pictures when some one ringing ?

If yes search on your phone where is store this pic.

Then using tasker, made event profile :
Looks for modify file, and set the directory where is store the pics.
Then set an action : http get : using domoticz JSON API to update your dummy switch.

And done ! Your ipbell is now able to speak to domoticz

I asked various questions about the ring.
here are the answers :

Pour répondre a l'ensemble de vos questions,
les dimensions de la sonnette sont: 12.65 x 6.17 x 2.21 cm.
Oui la caméra reste branchée si elle fonctionne avec des cables, avec la batterie elle ne remplira cette fonction que lorsque quelqun se présentera a la porte.
La batterie a une durée de vie plutôt courte selons les témoignages, et il est préférable de la connecté. Meme si celle ci est rechargeable.
Son angle de vue est de 180°.
Il est effectivement équipé pour une vision nocturne.
Il n'y a pas d'API prévue pour le moment selon les informations communiqué par le fabricant.
Ce modèle est éffectivement integrable dans Domoticz.
Concernant le réseau, il depend a quel réseau vous faites références dans votre question.
