Doorbird video doorbell binding

oeiber · October 24, 2019, 3:24pm

Hi there,
I would like to cancel the doorbird sip call when the frontdoor is open (fibaro door sensor). so would it be possible to rekognize if a sip call is running before sending a sip hangup?

thx!

There’s a SIP status call in the API spec. Can you post the JSON returned in the following two situations:

there’s no SIP call in progress
a SIP call is in progress

From the API spec…

sip-status

Assuming this indicates a call is in progress, I can implement a thing action to check if a call is in progress. It likely would be called isSipCallInProgress() and would return a boolean.

no call in progress:

{"BHA": { "RETURNCODE": "1", "SIP": [{"ENABLE": "1","PRIORITIZE_APP": "1","REGISTER_URL": "192.168.178.1","REGISTER_USER": "xxx","REGISTER_PASSWORD": "xxx","AUTOCALL_MOTIONSENSOR_URL": "","AUTOCALL_DOORBELL_URL": "","SPK_VOLUME": "70","MIC_VOLUME": "33","DTMF": "1","relais:1": "0","relais:2": "","LIGHT_PASSCODE": "","INCOMING_CALL_ENABLE": "0","INCOMING_CALL_USER": "","ANC": "1","LASTERRORCODE": "200","LASTERRORTEXT": "OK","RING_TIME_LIMIT": "60","CALL_TIME_LIMIT": "180"}]}}

call in progress:

{"BHA": { "RETURNCODE": "1", "SIP": [{"ENABLE": "1","PRIORITIZE_APP": "1","REGISTER_URL": "192.168.178.1","REGISTER_USER": "xxx","REGISTER_PASSWORD": "xxx","AUTOCALL_MOTIONSENSOR_URL": "","AUTOCALL_DOORBELL_URL": "","SPK_VOLUME": "70","MIC_VOLUME": "33","DTMF": "1","relais:1": "0","relais:2": "","LIGHT_PASSCODE": "","INCOMING_CALL_ENABLE": "0","INCOMING_CALL_USER": "","ANC": "1","LASTERRORCODE": "183","LASTERRORTEXT": "Session Progress","RING_TIME_LIMIT": "60","CALL_TIME_LIMIT": "180"}]}}

mhilbush · October 24, 2019, 9:28pm

Thanks.

This is the only difference I see. I’m not sure how to interpret this w.r.t. call or no call.

No Call

"LASTERRORCODE": "200","LASTERRORTEXT": "OK"

Call

"LASTERRORCODE": "183","LASTERRORTEXT": "Session Progress"```

oeiber · October 24, 2019, 9:41pm

I just had a look to the sip response codes: seems “183, session in progress” means ringing.
During my test I saw that a connected call is shown as “200, OK” followed by “200, Normal call clearing”, when the call gets disconnected.
So, I think you can use “LASTERRORCODE” : “183” to consider a call is in progress. Ideally a connected call will not be interrupted, because the “LASTERRORCODE” changes to “200” after a successful connection.

Would it be possible to call method isSipCallInProgress() in the rules?

Thank you for your help!

My idea was that I don’t want to have a api call to the doorbird every time the door was opened. If I understand your planned method isSipCallInProgress() right, there would also be an api call every time. So in a nutshell it doesen’t matter if I send isSipCallInProgress() or sipHangup().
Would it be possible to set a switch to on if the doorbell was pressed and set it back to off if the “RING_TIME_LIMIT” from the above json was reached?

@mhilbush what do you think?

Thank you!

mhilbush · October 25, 2019, 11:30am

When using the rawbutton-switch-on-off profile on the doorbell channel’s item definition, the current functionality is very similar to this. You would just need to set the thing config parameter doorbellOffDelay to the value of RING_TIME_LIMIT. I suppose I could have a thing config parameter to tell the binding to use RING_TIME_LIMIT instead of the config parameter, but I’m not sure that’s necessary based on what you’re trying to do.

oeiber · October 27, 2019, 6:37pm

Hi Mark,
works great, thank you!
I use a timer variable in the rules instead of a proxy item, because rawbutton-on-off-switch is not avaiable in M3.
Oh yes, that would be great, if I could use RING_TIME_LIMIT in the rules. Maybe you can also implement a method with gets the result of LASTERRORCODE?

Thank you for your great help!

Oliver

mhilbush · October 27, 2019, 6:51pm

Yep, that’ll work too.

I can create two new thing actions, getRingTimeLimit() and getLastErrorCode().

oeiber · October 28, 2019, 8:07am

That would be awesome!

dastrix80 · October 31, 2019, 9:25am

Hi Guys

Wondering if anyone sees regular issues with the Doorbell_Pressed switch. My log shows the PressedImage updating, as a result of someone pressing the button but nothing for Doorbell_Pressed and as a result, no visitor notification.

Any thoughts? Ive not debugged yet but will.

I’m seeing some timeouts. Images are updating fine, but the Doorbell_Pressed doesnt get updated to ON. Any thoughts? Ive restarted the binding and openhab2 along with the Doorbird.

oeiber · November 1, 2019, 6:52pm

Hi Mark,
did you already find time to implement this?

Thank you!

Oliver

mhilbush · November 1, 2019, 8:08pm

I did. Unfortunately I was in the middle of some other changes when I came down with the flu. Been in bed for the last 24 hours…

I need to finish up these other changes before I can post the version with the new actions. Hopefully I can get back to this in the next couple days.

mhilbush · November 1, 2019, 8:54pm

It doesn’t look like it’s able to download the images – timing out and getting 404’s from the doorbird. I’m not sure what would cause that.

dastrix80 · November 1, 2019, 9:44pm

Odd, because its totally contactable. Same VLAN, no routing etc. PoE connection. Hmmm Ill throw on wirehshark and see

higgers · November 3, 2019, 2:32am

Have you tried that basic troubleshooting option of turning it off and on?

oeiber · November 3, 2019, 9:51am

Hey Mark!
Thanks for the info.
Hope you get well soon!

Best wishes,

Oliver

dastrix80 · November 3, 2019, 7:47pm

Yes I have, the image channels show in the logs but nothing for the Pressed channel.

Ive rebooted everything and still the channel is not updating, @mhilbush any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

ive verified the Doorbird has 0 errors on its Cisco connected switch. Ive rebooted the binding, OH2, recreated the channel etc

Unless the state changes, you won’t see an entry in the log. Are you sure the channel is being set to OFF before the doorbell event occurs?

06:51:22.507 [DEBUG] [ing.doorbird.internal.DoorbirdHandler] - HTTP GET failed: 404, Not Found

This is failing when it tries to pull the history image. Ib the case of history images, the request goes to the Doorbird, but the Doorbird then pulls the image from the cloud (i.e. the Doorbird doesn’t maintain any local historical images).

If this was working at one point, something had to have changed. Possibly Doorbird firmware, something on the Doorbird backend, history permission in the app, etc. You could try to pull the history image using your browser using this URL.
