The Home Assistant repository is gone, but there is a backup copy here: github.com/intermittech/hassio-addons There is also another way to install the add-on and that's using the direct Docker image. Reese made a really nice video about it, check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/-oOP38KpvfE/v-deo.html
I've just discovered your youtube channel while searching for a doorbell running with HomeAssitant. And, you're awesome guy ! I love your clear and very instructive videos ! Thank you for your work ! And, of course, I've just ordered my Dahua Doorbell !
I have been waiting for this tutorial as I have ordered the Dahua set a week ago based on your previous videos. So, for me a perfect timing and a big thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial. Maintenance of the add-on is slightly beyond my skill level also. I hope someone will pick it up. This is a really great integration.
I second that! ESP stuff for me is quite new, too Just received a NodeMCU ESP board and will receive an 868 Mhz transceiver module in a few days, with the goal to control our Itho Ecofan ventilation unit. Following a tutorial, already flashed "espeasy" on it. Next step is configure the 868 Mhz and then my first dive into MQTT
First of all thank you for this amazing video, I have a question on minute 5:50 from your video, you say that a "I could give you the long story about the code and such", cuold you please give that long story, I want to learn where did you get that information to build that code, I will be very appreciate...!
Hi, great videos thanks! Unfortunately these repositories seems to not be working. The Elad Bar and Troy Kelly ones don't appear anything when I add them. Can you please check and maybe update with how to make it work please? Thanks!
6:03 Small error there which probably more people will make. Now you have two blocks of "binary_sensor" in your configuration.yaml which will not work. It will only use the last occurrence aka you loose your phone charging sensor. Each type should only occur once on the same level aka, just add the array bit (from - onward) under the same "binary_sensor"
For anyone coming late to this video, the MQTT sensor configuration has changed in Home Assistant. It is now: mqtt: binary_sensor: - name: "Doorbell Button State" state_topic: 'DahuaVTO/BackKeyLight/Event' value_template: '{{ value_json.Data.State }}' payload_on: "1" payload_off: "0"
I love this channel. I've purchased a few of your digs and plan on integrating them like you have done. Would you be able to do some other simple automation tricks like how to make the led strips come on and transition through brightness and colour like a sun rise and Sun set? That would be super handy! :)
Hi nice video once more. Can you tell if there's a lovelace card comnpatible with Dahua to check realtime video? and furthemore if will it be possible to have two way audio working? thanks so much
Thank you so much for the videos. Im looking for this kind of doorbells and just decided thank to you that i will use Dahua too. But just got some doubts. Just because there is VTO2201F-P, VTO2202F-P , and VTO2201F-P-S2. Yours is VTO2202F-P and the video compression is H265 and i just imagina that i wont be able to do what i want. So, let me make you this question please so i can be able to decide. Is it possible to have for example the VTO2201F-P -S2 on Home assistant, and have the possibility to see the CAM through HA? Just having this doubts beacause browsers cant play h265 and im afraid i cant integrate this later on HA.
@@IntermitTech nice. So it should work with home assistant anyway. Nice. So i think i just decided. Just your opinion now. This Dahua, keeps beeing the best effort for this? Thank you so much for your help :)
Thanks for this video and the explanation of how to use the scene create option. Please could you explain in a next video how to send a snapshot from a Dahua camera (with username and password) in an email or telegram account? That would be nice. I tried but could not get it working in home assistant. In domoticz it worked....
Have you looked at the 4202? I am looking to use one of these for a gate opener and the 4202 is interesting because you can add a keypad. Does the 4202 have the same features as the 2202
Thanks, another great video! I've ordered a few of the relays from your last unboxing to use with this. However, would it not be more reliable to move the automation to ESPhome and have it subscribe to the MQTT topic? That way, if your HA goes down, the doorbell still works.
@@IntermitTech I forgot to mention that Frenck had a good article on a smart doorbell with ESPHome that could be useful: frenck.dev/diy-smart-doorbell-for-just-2-dollar/
Hi Quindor, great video again! Have you already been able to quickly test that smaller model (Dahua VTO2101E-P-S1)? I was waiting for your confirmation it was working too (both API/MQTT as RTSP for video stream to Blue Iris) before buying. Just the other day I soldered multiple QuinLED boards to get some leds around the house working and I renovated my stairs with QuinLED lights too a few months ago. Keep up the good work, thanks a lot.
Intermit.Tech hi Quindor, have you been able to just test that other model? Don’t mind if the video is in queue or even on hold, but if you can confirm it at least works with rtsp and mqtt I can order it. The lady is chasing me for not having doorbell currently and I’m holding her off saying you’re working on testing it haha
Does the camera unit have a NO relay to open a gate? And can the gate opener be controlled by home assistant? Thanks for the videos!
8 днів тому
the VTO unit has connections for this, yes. Traditional ones that work for me are: DOOR_NO/DOOR_NC and DOOR_COM, bu there are some other connections (aside from ethernet) like +12V, alarm, door_fb, door_button
Hartelijk dank voor deze video! I'm likely going to buy this camera. With this developer discontinuing his API to MQTT plugin, can I expect it to still work fine in 5 years? How do you consider the risk of relying on dahua's cloud server and app? I mean both in terms of security as well as chances that Dahua will start charging a monthly fee for this service or simply stop running the service altogether?
Actually the developer has pick-up the add-on again. Also he didn't really stop witht he add-on, just the easy to install Home Assistant part. But the add-on is built upon the official Dahua API, that's fully local (no cloud involved) and they won't suddenly start disabling in my opinion, it's meant for this exact purpose. Dahua is a very different company then Nest or whoever else makes doorbells. They are a camera system selling company and include their P2P service which this uses on a lot of their cameras, also without fee. I don't see them changing that anytime soon, their business isn't cloud subscriptions (like it really is for those other companies, you just also need some hardware), their business is the hardware. So I think we'll be good with these for quite a while. :)
@@IntermitTech ok thanks, so the problem of relying on the cloud is only for the mobile phone app I understand. Now I just need to hope the option to ship from Poland or Spain comes back again.
I know it's kind of an old video, but hopefully you will see the message :) Is there any way to connect to the video stream without buying the screen ? RTSP or anything ?
Ah, the video is just RTSP you can add in Home Assistant or your NVR or both? No audio on the video stream over RTSP but I believe it is possible with ONVIF
Hi, any chance you could test the mobile app using android emulator such as memu on a windows laptop? I'm thinking of getting the VTO but not the VTH as i already have a windows based 16 inch viewing station, So i'm thinking of emulating the VTH using android emulator, but i need to make sure the 2 way audio is working correctly on emulator.
Hmmm. one even cheeper way to use this is to get a 5 dolar RF doorbel and hike the RF signal to ring a doorbel. Less cable mess. I am thinkging to do just that

I hope dahua can slim this down by 150%, would be nice to have a traditional-sized cloudless smart doorbell.
They have some models with similiar caracteristics to this one but a lot smaller
Hi Quin Love the videos! Iwould love to see a full esp home video like install and configure, The whole thing. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you for the tutorial.
Maintenance of the add-on is slightly beyond my skill level also. I hope someone will pick it up. This is a really great integration.
Yes very much agreed!

I don't have that one myself but most often you can switch between H264 and H265 so you can just set it up as needed.
@@IntermitTech nice. So it should work with home assistant anyway. Nice. So i think i just decided.
Just your opinion now.
This Dahua, keeps beeing the best effort for this? Thank you so much for your help :)
Yes I still enjoy it every day since I put it up! Great device.
Is there a way to connect a chime to the dahua intercom without the home assistant?

Hey, great video. Is outdoor unit working as stand alone? No need to use internal unit (monitor) to use HA and mobile app ?
Yes, no problem doing that, the screens are optional

I wonder if is it possible to set ringing volume or disable ringing on VTH unit from HomeAssistant. For example any CGI/REST endpoint for that?
Poh, not that I know of, but you'd have to dig in the API documentation.
I know it's kind of an old video, but hopefully you will see the message :)
Is there any way to connect to the video stream without buying the screen ? RTSP or anything ?
Yes, I have it connected to my NVR that way, works perfectly
@@IntermitTech Can you share how ?
It's all in the videos and article? Or what do you specifically mean?
The video show how to configure mqtt events. My question is how did you connect to the doorbell video stream? And if you were able to use the audio
Ah, the video is just RTSP you can add in Home Assistant or your NVR or both? No audio on the video stream over RTSP but I believe it is possible with ONVIF
is it possible get it integrated with smartthings
Hi, any chance you could test the mobile app using android emulator such as memu on a windows laptop?
I'm thinking of getting the VTO but not the VTH as i already have a windows based 16 inch viewing station,
So i'm thinking of emulating the VTH using android emulator,
but i need to make sure the 2 way audio is working correctly on emulator.
Hello! Nice video! it seems HA Add-on repository is dead or name has changed ?
I have the same problem. Maybe something has changed since the video came out.
Hmm, looking into it
where is the NVR part ?
I have a ezviz bd1 doorbel will it work also with mqtt
Judging from a quick google.... I'd say no.
Why no video about integrating the doorbell in NX Witness?
Because it's just 2 clicks either using ONVIF or the RTSP feed URL. In a previous video I also showed this for a little bit. :)
Has anybody ordered from Intercom store (AliExpress)?
My problem install is .... The command '/bin/ash -o pipefail -c apk update && apk upgrade && apk add --no-cache python3 py3-pip py3-setuptools git && pip3 install --upgrade pip --no-cache-dir paho-mqtt requests' returned a non-zero code: 3
have you solved that ?
