In developer tools go to events and subscribe to dahua_event_received, the press the button and see if an event comes through specific to those buttons
I can see those events:
event_type: dahua_event_received

I assume Index = 0 first button, index 1 = second button?
i tested with:
event_type: dahua_event_received
data:
Code: InterVideoAccess
action: Pulse
index: "0"
data:
Type: WebAllLogout
name: sprechanlage
DeviceName: sprechanlage

parent_id: null
user_id: null
and with
event_type: dahua_event_received
data:
Code: VideoMotion
action: Start
index: "0"
name: sprechanlage
DeviceName: sprechanlage
origin: LOCAL
time_fired: "2024-01-04T16:07:37.029873+00:00"

But with no success - sometimes these events are fired even without pressing the doorbell-button... :-/ someone an idea?
I don't think any of those are related to the buttons, the "InterVideoAccess" event seems to be routinely sent on mine too but is unrelated to a button press. The model you have looks the same as the VTO4202 so I'd assume it works the same.
The model I use is the VTO2311R-WP which sends an "Invite" event when the button is pressed, I use this for my doorbell automation.....
platform: event event_type: dahua_event_received event_data: Code: Invite
You have two different buttons so you might get something different.
One thing I have seen before when testing mine was if my VTO was not configured as the SIP server, the events did not come through. How are you using the unit, do you have it registered to a SIP server? If not, I'd make sure you have SIP server ticked in the web browser config of the device.
thanks for the reply. I purchased mine on https://www.goliath-shop.de but its just rebranded.
In the webinterface, SIP Server is enabled. IP 192.168.178.110 is the main device. I also have two of the indoor screens.
In Webinterface i can see the two klicks as call-type inbound and status of "accepted" or "missed". The missed one was the test click. The accepted one was a test if someone accepted the call on the display. So somewhere there must be the event which i can capture...

No one an idea? :-/
Since first setting mine up I can see in the documentation that there is an event "BackKeyLight" that relates to VTO events, which should be usable but I guess you don't see these either?
You could try editing the config_flow.py file within the dahua folder in your HA and adding the option for All to the "All Events" section and restart HA (backup your original file first).
Then delete the integration and readd it, this option should then appear in the list of events to subscribe to and will subscribe your HA to all events from that device rather than specific ones. Then test again using developer tools and see which events come through.
I was not able to get it working, even with the adjustments to the mentioned config_flow.py file. I added the String "All" to the Array and i was also able to Select it in the UI after readding the integration. Should i select everything or only the newly added "All" Option?
Nevertheless i had some success. But i used VTO2MQTT (https://github.com/intermittech/hassio-addons) seen on https://blog.quindorian.org/2020/08/the-video-doorbell-that-does-home-assistant-nvr.html/ So i was able to fetch the Button-Press via MQTT. I need to do some tests but i assume:
Topic: DahuaVTO > BackKeyLight > Event > Data > State could be: State: 0 <-- Call was canceled by Button press (again) or maybe if Call was rejected (?); Test was succesful while calling, i pressed the button again. So state was "2" for a few seconds and then it (returned) to state "0" and the voice telled me the call was canceled. State: 1 <-- 1. Button pressed (The bottom one), calling; Need to test this State: 2 <-- 2. Button pressed (The Top one), calling; Test was successful with this.
So but there are still some questions / tests open:
Hello,
thanks for the integration! Im using a AV-VTA05-22AV2 with 2 Bell-Buttons. (2-family House).
How can i get the press of one of the buttons to trigger an automation in Home-Assistant?
Thank you very much.
