# Audio sink

A doorbird thing automatically registers itself as an audio sink in openHAB. Your rules in openHAB can then play audio or text-to-speech sounds to it. It currently supports only ulaw or wav audio data (the later by converting it to ulaw, adding latency).

# Profiles

Using the system default switch profile rawbutton-on-off-switch in a doorbell channel item definition will cause ON/OFF states to be set when the doorbell is pressed and released. See Items example below.

# Rule Actions

The binding supports the following actions. In classic rules these are accessible as shown in this example (adjust getActions with your ThingId):

# void restart()

Restarts the Doorbird device.

# void sipHangup()

Hangs up a SIP call.

# String getRingTimeLimit()

Get the value of the SIP status parameter RING_TIME_LIMIT.

# String getCallTimeLimit()

Get the value of the SIP status parameter CALL_TIME_LIMIT.

# String getLastErrorCode()

Get the value of the SIP status parameter LASTERRORCODE.

# String getLastErrorText()

Get the value of the SIP status parameter LASTERRORTEXT.

Example

val actions = getActions("doorbird","doorbird:d101:doorbell")
if(actions === null) {
    logInfo("actions", "Actions not found, check thing ID")
    return
 }
 actions.sipHangup()
 
 var String ringTimeLimit = actions.getRingTimeLimit()

# Known Issues

The Doorbird uses the UDP protocol on port 6524 to broadcast events for Doorbird actions, such as doorbell pressed, motion detected, etc. If the Doorbord is on a separate subnet or VLAN from openHAB, those UDP packets will not route by default. In that case, the Doorbird binding will not receive those events. Either put the Doorbird and openHAB on the same subnet/VLAN, or set up your network to explicitly route those UDP packets.

# Rule

Using the doorbell trigger channel to detect if the doorbell has been pressed:

rule "Doorbell Button Pressed"
when
    Channel "doorbird:d101:doorbell:doorbell" triggered PRESSED
then
    // Do something when the doorbell is pressed
end

Alternatively, detecting a doorbell press using an item that references the rawbutton-on-off-switch profile:

rule "Doorbell Button Pressed"
when
    Item Doorbell_Pressed received command ON
then
    // Do something when the doorbell is pressed
end

Using the doorbell motion channel to detect motion:

rule "Motion Detected"
when
    Item Doorbell_Motion received command ON
then
    // Do something when motion is detected
end
