I’ve got one of these installed and pulling the RTSP feed into Blue Iris, which HA can then see.
I would like to tie in a button press of the doorbell. The EZviz app is horrible. I want to VLAN off the doorbell and keep it all local.
I tried to follow Frank’s $2 DIY doorbell guide but it is meant for ‘dumb’ doorbells and converts a button press into a GPIO binary_sensor using ESPHOME. If I try the same with this doorbell, power is interrupted and the camera dies.
I tried placing a Smartthings multi-sensor in my chime box to sense acceleration when the chime goes off. This works about half the time and there are also false positives if somebody bumps the wall that the chime is installed on. The sensor is pretty sensitive to acceleration.
Any other ideas how I could reliably get a button pressed pulled into HA as a binary_sensor?
