No Doorbell Functionality in HomeKit #56

Closed ripple7511 closed 1 year ago

ripple7511 commented 2 years ago

First off-- THANK YOU for this incredible plugin. I recently switched from Homebridge to Home Assistant so perhaps I'm missing something? When I'm adding exposing Vivint devices from Home Assistant to HomeKit, the camera isn't recognized as a doorbell, so I'm not able to get doorbell notifications on my HomePods anymore. Is there a trick that I'm missing?

I don't use HomeKit, but it looks like you can associate the camera's motion binary sensor to be able to get that functionality: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit/#camera-motion-notifications

Do you know if Home Assistant recognizes the doorbell press? Is there an automation port we can specify for HA to listen to in order to get that notification?

Yes, there is an event that gets fired for doorbells. It is set up as both a device trigger and an event.
