Motion sensor & doorbell button sensor support for Imou doorbells (DB11/DB60/DB61)

[jrb80]

I am requesting support for the Imou/Dahua doorbell products (DB11/DB60/DB61) to provide motion detection and doorbell button binary sensors. The recent binary sensor enhancement for cameras is not working for doorbells. I think this is because it uses a different event classification mobileDetect whereas cameras are using videoMotion events. Ideally I want to know when someone actually presses the doorbell button, probably more important than the motion detection event. This should be possible through the callBellEvent

Example JSON webhook response for mobileDetect event

  json:
    deviceType: DB
    msgType: mobileDetect
    cname: DB11
    labelType: motionAlarm
    remark: ''
    zerotime: 1669025671
    type: 1030

Example JSON webhook response for callBellEvent

  json:
    deviceType: DB
    msgType: callBellEvent
    cname: DB11
    labelType: callAlarm
    remark: ' '
    zerotime: 1669025675
    type: 1028

Hi, the point is if this event, regardless of the way it is sent to the callback url, is also registered as a message alarm because the current flow is:

Motion detected by device -> message sent to webhook -> automation trigger refresh of HA sensor -> HA sensor pulls the latest message alarm from the API -> if the timestamp is new, motion is detected

To test this, try running something like (preferably outside HA):

pip3 install imouapi
python3 -m imouapi.cli --app-id <your_app_id> --app-secret <your_app_secret> api_getAlarmMessage <device_id>

And check if the alarm is there. Thanks

No video in my HA. (I use DB60) in console (pip3 install imouapi) i get hls stream and watch it over VLC.

[kkwestt]

now through api i get access to ports with no ansver: "httpPort": "80", "privatePort": "37777", "rtspPort": "554",

but without lucky :) all i need is RTSP stream for local NVR

[user2684]

@kkwestt any error in the logs when opening up the stream? Any chance to enable debug logging? @jrb80 is video stream working for you? Thanks

@jrb80 is video stream working for you? Thanks

Cloud video streaming does not work with my Imou doorbell and therefore I am using a generic camera integration using RSTP, e.g. rtsp://192.168.1.108:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

I use a webhook trigger using the Imou cloud integration to receive motion/call notifications and then create local snapshots but I found it not to be 100% reliable.

imou DB60 inside

[user2684]

Thanks guys. It behaves slightly different from an imou webcam. But enough to create troubles. I see the image snapshot service is not available there. The ConnectionFailed looks like network connectivity issue instead while the InvalidResponse should only impact the "battery" sensor so I'd not be worries about that. All of this would require a step by step debugging and troubleshooting any API call and response which is really difficult without having the device. I'll keep on eye open when there will be a decent discounted price to buy one to run some additional tests but I will still keep this as a roadmap item

[jrb80]

I since upgraded my DB11 to a DB61i, better image quality and other improvements. But the main difference is that the DB61 supports local API and therefore I am using the Dahua custom integration with HA. It also supports Imou cloud but why bother if you can do everything local. The Dahua integration exposes the call button and other sensors, i.e motion and direct video streaming rather than cloud. I did read on some forums that Dahua disabled the local API on newer firmwares, so results may vary.

Can you tell which firmware is installed in a working setup? Do you know if one can download the firmware files somewhere and if you can downgrade? Thanks in advance!

Please add full support for DB11.

[jrb80]

The DB11 does not support the Imou webhooks particularly well.

My advice is to upgrade to the DB61 and use local Dahua API.

[mgolaszewski93]

Software update or hardware?

[user2684]

Closing this for now until there will be a documented API available from Imou for the implementation. Thanks all for the various comments and sharing!
