DoorBird D101WorksDefault model reported by the plugin

… adding in proper support for Manufacturer / Model / Serial characteristics so those of us with multiple devices can better describe them to HomeKit. (e.g. D101 vs D202 Doorbird models).

DoorBird video doorbellWorksPlugin works well; solid build but pricey
Saved copy
Doorbird offers solid built, nice looking solutions with bells and whistles such as Power of Ethernet. Some models can be installed in-wall so they don’t stick out like regular smart doorbells. HomeBridge plugin works well. They’re on the pricier side though.

DoorBird D2101V intercomPartly worksVideo and first lock work; second lock not controllable
Saved copy
Hi, I've just got a D2101v intercom from Doorbird. I used the Homebridge-doorbird plugin (Homebridge working on Synology NAS) and almost everything works fine. The issue for me is that I cannot control the second Lock (this intercom model has 2 locks). I tried to modify the plugin from brownad with out success till now. Anyone has the same issue? Thanks in advance for the support.

DoorBird (speaker and microphone)Won’t be supportedTwo-way audio not supported by the plugin or DoorBird API
Saved copy
Dear developers: I installed the latest versions of the doorbird and ffmpeg plugins and latest version of FFmpeg (with libfdk-acc enabled). Nearly everything is working well, except the speaker and audio are not working at all. The 2019 DoorBird API implies that the RTSP and VIDEO requests are video only. The audio receive and transmit requests are separate commands (with audio-receive.cgi and audio-transmit.cgi). Any ideas how to incorporate these requests into the DoorBird home bridge plugin? Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. Best regards, Axel

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
