Just remembered the name of the feature on the Nest Hello, it's called Quick Responses. Just three quick responses you can choose. Especially handy if you are in a low signal area and two-way communication is patchy, just tap the button and the doorbell plays it.

A question for those with a DB1C, does the software allow for pre-recorded responses? As in, if someone rings the doorbells are there any automated responses you can choose? I had this on my Nest Hello and it's the only feature I miss since swapping to the DB1. If the DB1C has it, which I doubt...

Don't tell me the DB1C has that feature I am hoping for?

Had my DB1 for over a year and it's been great. I swapped from a Nest Hello to this purely so I can use local storage (MicroSD and my Hikvision NVR). Really happy with my choice but there is one small feature that I wish it had that the Hello did, and that's canned responses. With the Hello when...

What Zigbee controller are you using? I can't get it to work with Conbee II and Deconz.

yes I completely get all that. That’s why I wanted this doorbell. I already have a Hikvision CCTV system that’s ice integrated the doorbell with. Hence why I said I’m glad the alerts are not a must have feature for me. Just annoying that this basic feature isn’t included.

it’s not complicated. It’s just unnecessary. Ring and Nest have managed to do it, why isn’t this functionality built in? If thevarious skills and services Arcan notify on button motion detection, why haven’t they configured it to allow it on button press? Having come from a Neat Hello this is a...

The issue is getting one in the UK. All it needs is IFTTT to send the notification to HA then HA can send it to Alexa. Shouldn't need another device...

Far harder than it needs to be. I think I'll stick with the mechanical door chime until something better comes along. All I need is a trigger of some sort for Home Assistant. I already have the Alexa notification working.

Looks like it's only available in the USA from my quick Google :(

Just looking at the dfarkov/onvif2mqtt container. I see two things that might not work for me. Firstly, but Ezviz DB1 is stock with the standard firmware (not flashed) and the plugin seems to only work with the LaView firmware Secondly, I want notifications when someone presses the doorbell...

Great. So I do have Home Assistant so I’ll look into that. Shame it’s not part of the Alexa skill.

So I don’t want to view the camera on either. Just want an audible alert. I’ve enabled the Alexa Skill.
