EmpireTech DB2X-WP (rebranded Dahua VTO2311R-WP) not recognized as doorbell.

brussene commented 10 months ago

I have two doorbells, both are Dahua VTO2311R-WP models and are using the same Dahua firmware, but one is rebranded as an EmpireTech DB2X-WP. The rebranded one is not recognized as an doorbell by the Dahua integration (probably because of the modelnumber being different) and therefore missing entities. The most important one being button_pressed binary sensor.

Can you add the EmpireTech DB2X-WP to the Dahua integration so that it is recognized as a doorbell? (with the exact same features as the Dahua VTO2311R-WP).

Any updates on this issue? Is there another way to fix this other than waiting for an update on the integration?

Are you able to pull any other logs in home assistant? The VTO connection is being made on port 5000. I wonder if the empiretech model changed the ports in the rebrand.

        # This thread will connect to VTO devices (Dahua doorbells)
        self.dahua_vto_event_thread = DahuaVtoEventThread(hass, self.client, self.on_receive_vto_event, host=address,
                                                          port=5000, username=username, password=password)

Maybe look for something like:

Connection to VTO failed will try to connect in 30 seconds

ah nvm, it's actually this code block that's not going to return true:

    def is_doorbell(self) -> bool:
        """ Returns true if this is a doorbell (VTO) """
        m = self.model.upper()
        return m.startswith("VTO") or m.startswith("DH-VTO") or (
                    "NVR" not in m and m.startswith("DHI")) or self.is_amcrest_doorbell()
