Some switches missing in the project

[StevieWonder99a]

Hi, at first - thank you for your work and the integration in Home Assistant.

I miss a few features.
I use Alamo to control some things with one click.

But - it is not possible to do something like this:

if iam goint out, absend - the cameras should enable the alarm-siren/flashlight.
When i come back - disable these features.
Motion detection runs all the day, no problem. But the alarming part should only be activated when i use a switch / automation / scene. But all switches in the project can only make the basics on / off. Motion , line crossing detection, area going in and out detection, but not the features i need. Start and stop the alarm siren or something like this.

Yea, many people have asked about the siren switches. Unfortunately I do not have access to this camera and I'm not able to add this basing on documentation only.

What do you need? A shared connect with hik-connect ? I get a new cam next week and i could leave it out of service for a few days..Am 27.11.2024 um 19:29 schrieb Maciej ***@***.***>: Yea, many people have asked about the siren switches.

Hik-connect uses different protocol, wont be useful.
I would need diagnostic data from your camera, then follow this thread
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/hikvision-cameras-trigger-audio-alarm-output-possible/545886/8
and check if mentioned requests work for you.
You can use ISAPI request action instead of curl

Basically if you are familiar with automations you can create a switch yourself that toggles siren even with current version of the integration.

i will see if it works. But - i like functions in HA out of the box. Here are more then 20 different manufacturer for different hardware. if i would use the api and everything by myself - i need 2 people who control the code and api changes. So i am happy with a lot of integrations in home assistant und updates if something changed. Home assistant is for my a big project at home, everything with lan/wifi is under control with lovely dashboards. It is to much for individual programming.

I just need a confirmation if those requests work, then I could add them to the integration. I'm able to simulate any Hikvision device in test environment but it requires specific XML responses.

Where to send the diagnostic Data ?
