This app need Domoticz or HA to work.

Select the correct section (Domoticz or HA from below).

To show a regular IP camera when the doorbell is ringing.

The video url can be found at https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=A1webcam (the rest of the manufactures can be found at the bottom of the page.




*********************************************************************************************************************************

For Domoticz
Create a dummy switch in Domoticz and connect it to the doorbel. Create 2 variables like (set variable ShowDoorCamToon to value 150):


Create a Blocky script like:


Install the DoorCam App on the Toon and configure all parameters in the setup screen:


(when ShowDoorCamToon is set to 200 by Domoticz, the Doorcam is shown at the Toon. when ShowDoorCamToon is set to 100 by Domoticz, the Doorcam is closed at the Toon)

*********************************************************************************************************************************

For HA
(HA part by user Arcidodo)
Create an input_number entity at the helper menu (https://HAURL:8123/config/helpers)


If you change the value of this entity to 100 the camera shows on the toon 200 it closes,
I use Node Red to control this see screenshot below:

Complete flow of my doorbell:


If you got your doorbell in NodeRed you make an service node like this:


It set the input_number.showdoorcamtoon on 200 so the toon shows the doorbell cam feed.
I created an deley of 30 secs
And the last flow is the same as the first one except you set the value to 100 so the toon closes the doorcam app.

Install the DoorCam App on the Toon and configure all parameters in the setup screen:


To create an token goto:
https://HAURL:8123/profile on the bottom of the page you have an section “Long-lived access token” create an token and type it on your toon. Or copy/paste it see below.

Optional:
I know the token of Home Assistant is a verry long one.. If you want to set it easy:
ssh in your toon and open the file with VI

vi /mnt/data/tsc/doorcam_userSettings.json and past your token into the haToken section "token":"haToken”,

Hello Oepi-loepi,

I was wondering if the doorcam app can be found in the toonstore, but it doesn't.
On my computer i have version 1.0 in de downloads folder.

Is there a newer version somewhere available?.

Thanks for the good work!.

Regards.

Where can i find the DoorCam App ?

This app will be available in the Toonstore as from now.

When install doorcam my toon keeps booting.
When I delete the folder doorcam with winscp, the toon will start.
software 5.30.4

Thanks for installing. I have just removed my installation and i can install without problems. Could you please provide some more information?

What kind of toon? Toon 1 or Toon 2 ?
Do the problem occur before you run the setup?

If after setup has been carried out:
Do you have Domoticz installed?
Dit you make the variable in domoticz as described?
Did you find your cam image path?

Installed it before then I had no problems, but now after installing 1 time I couldn't connect to the door cam, now I wanted to try again. I use show toon1.
is there still an old configuration folder in toon show?

Normally the config is stored in mnt/data/tsc/doorcam_userSettings.json

In the old (manual) version it was storen in the folder itself and is deleted when you deleted the folder.

oepi-loepi,

Since installing the new app this morning it doesn't work anymore.
I have a Toon2 with this which worked until this morning perfect.

Now when opening the Doorcam app I only get just 1 still image(freeze), the image doesn't keep refreshing for 30 seconds as before.
Besides that when pressing the doorbell the Toon doesn't shown the pop-up anymore....

What is going wrong?
Nothing changes in Domoticz or the scripts or the vars.....

Got refeshing back to work now...
But the app doesn't closed after 30 seconds so Toon can go to "Standby" .

The pop-up when the doorbell rings still doesn't work...

It works now i have removed all app now i could install doorbell.
Can also see the picture in toon .
only the link to domoticz does not work. What exactly do I have to set in the virtual switch?

If you set the variable to 200 manually, the toon must show the app. Then the variable will be set to 150 by the toon app over http protocol.

If you set the variable to 100 the toon app will close.

Make sure you do set the idx of the variable in the toon and not the idx of the switch

Make sure the variable is defined as string.

The switch is only the trigger for the script to set the variable. The name of the switch in the example is deurbel.

Today I made a seond attempt to get it to work, so when entering the IDX of the variable the pop-up shows on the Toon.
But then...................
Can't stop the doorcam to stop the display, when touching the Toon the screen becomes blacked "boxed" and I can only see the "Home" button in de left corner.
Pressing it the Toon goes directly to standby and shows me the tiles. When trying to activate the screen by touching it for example on the weather app it immediatly opens the weatherapp instead of the home screen.

I had to reboot the toon, after rebooting the normal screen came back. Pressing on 1 of the apps showed the app but after 2 seconds the app was closed again, no mather which app I pressed.
I now finally removed the app from the store because my Toon becomes unresponsive.
With the previous version Doorcam 1.0.0 I had no problems.

Any idea about how to fix this?

I also have stability problems here.
Does not run properly here, also do not get a notification on the tone. where can i download the previous version to try.
