What is Doorbird?
It is a video door station (Ethernet/WiFi) that allows you, with Doorbird App, to be notified when someone triggers the sensor or rings, then to talk while seeing him throught the embedded camera on the doorbird.
How it intregrates with eedomus?
Here's what he can done once integrated with eedomus:
- Open the door / gate (connected to relay DoorBird) from eedomus
- When the doorbell of DoorBird is pressed, a picture is taken automatically by eedomus, and it is possible to use this state in the rules (eg. Someone rings, outdoor lights come on automatically if it is dark ...)
- When motion is detected by the PIR DoorBird, a photo is taken automatically by eedomus, and as for the bell, the event may be used in the rules
- Motion detection may possibly be disengaged (for this change and make visible the hidden action "Subscribe" in the list of values eedomus device and run it)
- Eedomus can capture images of the camera DoorBird on demand (On a click on the device or via rules. Ex. Take a picture every hour)
- Infrared lighting on DoorBird can be activated for 3 minutes
On the other hand :
- The live image and the intercom feature are not supported by eedomus. WXe recommend using the native app DoorBird.
