Doorbell notifications #110

Closed sharksfan09 closed 3 years ago

sharksfan09 commented 3 years ago

Is there anyway to trigger the camera-ffmpeg doorbell notifications?

Sunoo commented 3 years ago

You can do that over HTTP or MQTT.

Sorry, didn't notice which project this issue was open on.

Why are you trying to activate doorbell via SMTP? Is it just to make motion alerts display on Apple TV?

sharksfan09 commented 3 years ago

Correct, I would like to have motion detection alerts show up on the Apple TV from my REOlink camera. I have found that the person detection is actually quite good and does not provide a lot of false positives. Having that alert show up on the AppleTV when someone walks up to the front door would be very nice to have.

Okay, in that case, I plan to add a setting to homebridge-camera-ffmpeg to process motion alerts as doorbell presses soon. It makes more sense to add there instead of here anyways.

It's going to be part of a decent rework of the way motion and doorbells are handled, but I'm hoping to have it done in the next few weeks.

That will be great! I will keep my eyes out for that, thank you for all your hard work on this.

This was added in homebridge-camera-ffmpeg v3.0.6. I decided I could sneak this in before the massive overhaul.
