Intercom or Action trigger #3

Closed danbridgellc closed 6 years ago

danbridgellc commented 6 years ago

First great plugin - have it setup and working fine. Any idea if it possible to have full intercom functionality work? Also is it possible to trigger an action on rich notification - i.e. open gate?

Samfox2 commented 6 years ago

Audio is still not working but triggering with your gate should work. You just have to bring it to start a script or use the ifttt plugin.

Understood on the audio

regarding the action - I was looking for a UI button in the iOS notification that I could trigger an action with based on who it is at the gate, etc. So I was assuming it would require some type of additional HomeKit code to know the door bell supports such a feature. Any ideas/suggestions to get such a button in the notification?

Samfox2 commented 6 years ago

I think the only things that you could change within the notification are volume/brightness and mute.

danbridgellc commented 6 years ago

been digging and actually believe it or not - it is much simpler than all that...all you have to do is add a "lock" service accessory into the same room as the doorbell and the rich notification includes a "Unlock Door" action button. I am guessing that to get an intercom option, you would need a microphone and speaker service accessory - but I have not proved that piece yet.

Good to know. You can activate both speaker and microphone service in the index file of this plugin - just uncomment it. It‘s in but I couldn‘t get the audio stuff working with ffmpeg...

Samfox2 commented 6 years ago

Audio is now implemented.

I have activated the service speaker. Is it possible to trigger something with Mute? I want to change a data point in iobroker when I press mute.
