Doorbird - TV or Google Home Hub Integration

I have a doorbird doorbell which currently integrates to Loxone speakers which makes a sound when the doorbell is triggered.
The next step is to have the trigger, display an image or stream video to a Sony android tv or to the Google home hub. I am currently using openhab (and would prefer to continue using this) to chromecast using the video.cgi link. However, I have a few issues:

  1. the http webhook that you configure in doorbird, you can only trigger one. (at the moment I’m using it to trigger the loxone speakers)

  2. the actual video stream doesn’t chromecast. I’m thinking this is to do with the supported encoding. Although it could also be that the url itself isn’t supported by the chromecast plugin.

Has anyone managed to successfully stream doorbird using chromecast and if so, if they could share the code?

Also any other suggestions on how to do the same thing as well as solve the doorbird single http issue.

Many thanks,

If you use the ipcamera binding you can send your doorbird to a chromecast. It needs to be in a hls format or mpeg-dash for a chromecast to work.

Thanks very much - sorry for the late response, I didnt get alerted for the posts. I never did manage to make it work. The doorbird itself stopped working in March 2020. Have no idea why - and didnt even last 3 years! Definitely wouldnt recommend them!
Have been waiting and looking for another doorbell with POE thats not too expensive. With good security and camera. I found a Hikvision one DS-HD1 but this seems to be more for the US market and I think its WIFI only.

See this post as it covers alternatives that you can look at, one of which is POE.
