Devices

Doorbell

The doorbell device is a switch, which will be turned on when the doorbell button is pressed. It will turn off when the voip-call is missed or hung up.

It will turn to the state "Connected" when the call from the Dahua VTO has been answered/connected.
It will turn to the state "Off" when the call from the Dahua VTO has either been missed or been hang-up.

Temper Alarm

The temper alarm is an alert device, which will show No alert when the temper alarm button of the Dahua VTO is pressed and show red "Alert" when the temper alarm button the Dahua VTO is not pressed.

Door lock

The door lock devices allows you to unlock and lock the door (with door id: 1) by pressing the switch. The plugin will attempt to show the accurate state of the door lock, however the Dahua VTO devices do not send any events when the door lock is closed after the unlock period has expired. The plugin will enforce the configured unlock responding interval and not resend unlock commands until the "unlock responding interval" has expired.

Currently this plugin only supports opening of door lock id #1.

Known issues

Only door lock #1 is supported.
