Hi @BaQs,

I wonder if you can sniff the app to check. which API method used for turning on/off the alarm manually!?

BaQs commented 3 years ago

Would you mind telling me exactly which feature ? A screenshot would be perfect 👌

Here is screenshot from the android app, while checking the camera from the application. if you hit "Active Defence", it activate the alarm sound for 60s.

I think we merged this branch for exactly what you need. Need to be integrated inside the cli though.

I guess this is a different thing, it is basically change the defence mode from home to away or vice versa.. but the other switch that I am showing in the screenshot, it enable the alarm sound manually for 60s. similar to the left button that enable the floodlight on/off

body: enable : 2 #make sound enable: 1 #disable

Just documenting. I'll add this to the "to do" list.

This definitely activate the alarm, thanks.

Is there away to know, if the alarm is currently activated!?

Hi @modestpharaoh,

EZVIZ api doesn't return the status of the alarm. It just triggers a 60 second countdown and the camera firmware turns the siren off after 60 seconds.

I have implemented this in the latest Home assistant release (2023.9) if you use home assistant. Or you can find it in the latest custom integration (EZVIZ beta via HACS)

If you are using your own code then you'll need to implement a 60 second countdown to track it. You can retrigger it to reset the countdown btw. (On the 50 seconds mark for example then it will continue for 60 second more.)
