Currently I can already control my doorbell in HA with the Tuya Integration with the following entities:

However, two of the most useful sensors are missing: button press and human detection. It's already possible to create automations/scenes inside of the Tuya app based on those events, but they are not exposed to Home Assistant just yet.

For example, if button press sensor was integrated with HA, I could ring a bell inside my home (just an example). Specifically, I want to run some ADB commands to turn on my tablet screen and enter on Tuya app so that I can answer the video doorbell call as seamlessly as possible.

Here to i have read somewhere that the devices can be controlled locally using the smart things app, isn't this an option to use for HA, the delays and mis/match of the status is throwing all my automations off and because off that i am starting to look at localtuya/tuyaconvert to just ditch the whole cloud intergration.

You can use rf433 to detect button press. I use it! When People press the button I take a photo with cam and this photo appears on my tv and I play sound to my sonos.

Hello I use a sonoff rf bridge v2 with direct hack. On this sonoff I installed esphome (https://www.esphome-devices.com/devices/Sonoff-RF-Bridge) and I captured the code when I pushed the doorbell button. This code is write in esphome code, the format used is rcswitch. You can use probably another rfbridge like rf link.

After I used this automation :

Is there anyway to use broadlink rm4 pro to intercept the code instead of sonoff bridge ?

Czara commented 2 years ago

Hi I don't know I don't have rm4. Test it!

Have a good day !

FragMenthor commented 2 years ago

I have a rm3 pro+ and I could not manage to get any code while in learning mode. But probably can vary on the model...

But the point is that this is STALLE, not even thinking of the camera or sensors, what's the point of having support to doorbells if the doorbell press is not supported???? That's the minimum bare function of a doorbell... Months ago, when there was a "boom" of development with the new integration, was said that correct support for smart doorbells was near and in development. Since that release, basically NOTHING changed in this integration, at least to my knowledge and I keep a very close eye on thinks. Is the whole integration STALLE???

sacredprey005 commented 2 years ago

I second this. hope you can add sensor to detect button press

wolfcam commented 2 years ago

The main problem with not being able to implement this functionality is that Tuya IoT doesn't support the doorbell button state as documented here (SP Device Category) - https://developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/s?id=K9gf48qapbl1n

Electronlibre2012 commented 2 years ago

Hello all!

same boat ;) solution :

1-Connect to your account Tuya IOT Platform with your PC, create a virtual switch for light in Tuya IOT (i take the neutral + line zigbee) in "Cloud > Devices > All Devices > button Add Devices" 2-you will have a QR code then go tu your Tuya App on phone, in my home" right corner up click "+" then again right corner up QR code symbol, flash the QR code with your phone on the PC screen, the switch is now link to the App and you have a virtual switch in HA. 3-Still in the App phone, create an automation : when doorbell button is press...then...virtual switch put on...wait 2 seconds...then put virtual switch off...DONE!

in HA, do what you want with the state of the virtual switch...like notify, snaptshot, ....with an automation.

Enjoy

Amazing!!! That seemed like the right solution right away, but I'm stuck with a doorbell that does not have that trigger in SmartLife / Tuya app... Amazingly enough, I can now trigger, with your solution, the motion status by the status os the device (awaken/dormant). The doorbell works "fine" in SmartLife app, triggers a notification to answer, but I have no triggers available to do automations on that... Almost got there....

Electronlibre2012 commented 1 year ago

that's the community power : share your knowledge lol ! :)

ThaDuhFeez commented 1 year ago

Agreed. Having a sensor for button press should be the bare minimum for a smart doorbell.

This is a great workaround! Can you share which exact virtual light switch you used? I tried many, but the countdown function never works, so the automation cannot turn the switch off.... Any ideas?

EDIT: Figured it out, the countdown function is crap and doesn't work. Just create an automation that turns the switch ON, then add a delay step, then turn switch OFF. I'm using this switch btw : "ZigBee Single Live Light Switch 1 Gang"

Thanks!

felipecrs commented 1 year ago

I faced the same issue as you, but the solution is simple. As soon as you capture the event in Home Assistant, you can turn the switch back to off from Home Assistant as well.

the only thing once create the virtual switch is to be sure you have choose "standard instruction" and not "DP Instruction" : like this :

Sans titre

Select Control Instruction Mode

This configuration will affect the control instruction mode of the specified product under this project. Before you change the mode, refer to the following table of instructions and check the instructions applicable to this product in the two modes respectively.

My solution for generic Tuya doorbell (without button press sensor) from Aliexpress and integration with Alexa / Home Assistant: 1 - Add doorbell to Tuya app 2 - Sync Tuya with Alexa app (add Tuya skill) 3 - Create a Virtual switch on Tuya IOT platform and add it to Alexa app 4 - In Home Assistant install Tuya integration and refresh it to recognize the virtual switch 5 - Create a scene on Alexa app (when Doorbell pressed = turn ON the virtual switch and to turn off after 5s). After this, your Virtual switch in home assistant will turn on/off automatically when doorbell pressed 6 - In HA create a scritp with browser_mod to pop-up your camera when Virtual switch is turned ON

Scritp for HA using browser_mod: sequence:

service: browser_mod.popup data: browserID:
- PC title: Tem alguém na sua porta! size: fullscreen timeout: 120000 dismissable: true content: type: picture-glance camera_view: live camera_image: camera.porteiro entities: [] show_state: true
