Best way to get notifications on echo dot from HSDB2A with LaView FW

[kruuth]

So I have been able to get my HSDB2A to work to my satisfaction. However, I'd really like to have the echo dot that I have in my home office to let me know when someone hits the button. Is there something that I can use to do this? I ask because my office is rather far from the doorbell and the physical bell. I've got a Dahua NVR and I've been trying to get it to send a notice when it trips the motion detection but so far I haven't had any luck on that front. What's the easiest way to get something going so I know when someone's at the door?

Outside of the dns hack, I have not seen a way to capture the doorbell presses. That said the motion sensor is exposed so you can use home assistant to capture that sensor and then send it where ever you want. I am not sure on the echo show portion but I have this done with the ezviz version using frigate(because AI is better than onboard motion sensor), home assistant and google home hub.
