Dear members,
Recently I've installed my new BLGW and connected it with my NL-products and my KNX-system for lights. What a terrific system. I created some macro's and everything works like a charm.
Now I want to purchase a video-doorbell. I've looked at brands like Ring, Doorbird and Skybell HD.
I want to integrate the doorbel in the BLGW and my KNX-system.
Do you have any experience in a video doorbell? With the Home Control on my BV, I would like to see when someone is at the door?
Any recommendations and advice before purchasing a bell?
Thanks in advance, BeoHut

chucky:Looking at the same, doorbird. I have no room so it will be not the build in version, which is a lot nicer. If it runs through its own app you do not need to log in on the BLGW but it only triggers an action if you want? That’s right. I use the motion trigger to send the home control command and show the camera on screen on my televisions. Can I at least have a picture through the doorbird on my webbrowser of the BLGW app? Please can anyone confirm, I have emailed beocare but I do not seem to get any answers. Yes... that’s no problem. Do it every day. So I cannot talk into the the BLGW app or open a door, it is all being done by the doorbird app? Correct. Must use DoorBird to talk You can use blgw to trigger the door open assuming your lock is compatible. Pff it is getting more annoying by the day, still no camera”s on the webbrowser, on the ML side it is pretty thin the app is not really nice and for the core”s I use the white beolink app, much easier. Today I integrated my camera’s on an Amazon spot, I just ask Alexa show camera driveway and pop I have a picture, really nice. I am thinking of breaking up some walls and build in some echo show in the walls, you can ask anything and have a picture with it as well. The downside of being such a big thing is gone when you put it in the wall . Chucky From Beovision to doorbel...all B&O what rings.
mjmedlo: I use doorbell press as a trigger to turn on home control and this I see the person on my television, if active.

Kiran:I will be installing the modular door bird system at the gates... I want the same to happen - trigger to turn on home control on NL tv if active. How does the BLGW recognise if any TV’s are active?... Regards Kiran Born in NL; I ride ML
mjmedlo:Doesn’t make any difference ... you send the home control to everything ... if no product is live then nothing happens... for every panel that is turned on... you’ll get the DoorBird video feed.
Kiran:Hi mjmedlo Not spoke in a long time. I hope you are well... The above makes sense a little. I have not installed the door bird system yet. I will be knocking on your door when I’m having problems lol... 👍🏻👍🏻 Regards Kiran Born in NL; I ride ML
Amazon Ring Video Doorbell is a great way to upgrade your smart home and gain control over who’s at your driveway. Add it to your Loxone, Gira or KNX smart home by integrating a smart assistant platform (Amazon Alexa or Google Home).

If 2N works use that, on every home automation project we have done Doorbird has been ripped out.
It is just not configurable enough and the app is no where near as good as Ring IMHO.
Hello,
I'm in the same situation as BeoHut with BLI and KNX - but have invested in a Dahua Doorbell (VHT2000 xx) which is unstable and cannot integrate to KNX or BLI, so now im considering to replace it with DoorBird.
Quistion. I get it, that you can have the DoorBird to trigger my BLI (and hereby my KNX system too) - but can you also have the BLI to trigger the DoorBird (opposite direction) e.g. to Open the Door via the BLI app? with my Dahua i can open the door via the iphone app.

I have IP 192.168.1.9 but you need to take yours
Install VLC it is free so you can check your stream
On the BLI it is easier, it discovers onvif
I use a IIyama touch screen in the hall as soon as someone rings I pick up the screen and fire a Hue plug to start the screen for 2 minutes
In the living I get the picture on my BS4 / LG77 no idea what I programmed?
