New RCA HSDB2A 3MP Doorbell IP Camera

Australia. Think I'm wanting a few of them also for front, back and shed door.

May need to organise a 3rd party shipper
Well we have some owners here from Australia who has the Doorbell, they can help you on where they got theirs from.

Hi everyone, sorry I'm trying to find the answer to a question but there's no many posts here it's difficult.

I've just installed the Ezviz DB1 replacing my previous Nest Hello. So far I really like it although it's not quite as polished at the Hello. There's one feature I'd really like to get working is having either Alexa (preferred) or Google make a sound when someone rings the doorbell. The Hello had this feature where it would recognise people but I'm not expecting that, just an alert, like a secondary chime. Is that possible?

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

just an alert, like a secondary chime. Is that possible?

Today using an Amazon plugin for Home Assistant that does TTS or will do any commands sent to the Amazon from Home Assistant.

Alexa Media Player

Home Assistant

Recently an ONVIF-MQTT add on was provided by a user here on the forum. Combining both in a trigger you can do a TTS alert when someone approaches the doorbell.

If you have an Amazon Show you can utilize Monocle and do an pop up doorbell view when someone approaches the door.

Great. So I do have Home Assistant so I’ll look into that. Shame it’s not part of the Alexa skill.
 
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, not motion and the documentation says motion only.

⦁ Sage Sensor - TechBill - alexdelprete - TechBill (Sage with SmartThings)
 
Trying to figure out the best combination of notification settings. I live in a city, and despite PIR setting to 5 feet I'm still getting false alarms every time any sort of large truck drives by (50+ times per day). I'm less concerned with stopping the false positives, but just trying to avoid receiving the iOS push notifications for PIR events, but still would like them to be logged so I can quickly review who has come to the door when I open the EZViz app.

Within EZViz app if I turn off Notifications it won't log the PIR events in app. Tried turning off notifications in iOS, which does achieve the goal with the PIR events, but then also won't alert when someone is ringing the doorbell so I can't answer. Digging back it seems like people using the LaView app have more nuanced notification settings compared to the notification setting with EZViz app, can anyone confirm that? Or has anyone found a solution to the big truck PIR false alarms?

A Relay switch should do the doorbell press for you. Several here has them setup. Not sure where you are from but I know alexdelprete is from Italy and has a Sage, not sure how he got it, I assume ebay.

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.

The $5 sage sensor is a zigbee device and works quite well, if you have a zigbee controller. It's near real time in HA.

This is really his answer, hopefully he can get one sent to the UK.
