Overview

A Home Assistant integration to communicate with Hikvision smart doorbells via Hik-Connect cloud.

Features

  • Unlock a lock connected to Hikvision outdoor station.
  • Report call status of an indoor station (idle, ringing, call in progress) + call source (number of building, floor, etc.).

Nothing more yet, sorry. :) Visit an issue tracker to discuss planned features.

Warning

If you have direct LAN access to your Hikvision device, you may NOT want to use this integration.

Why? The scope of this project is to mirror functionality available in Hik-Connect mobile application - nothing more. You can usually get more functions, faster responses and more stability by connecting to your device locally, if possible. Please see forum thread about LAN based integration for more info.

The target audience of this integration is people living in block of flats where other Hikvision devices (outdoor stations, recorders) are managed by someone else, and you don't have physical (admin) access to any of these.

To be clear - if you are satisfied with this integration with regard to limited functionality and Hik-Connect cloud dependency, feel free to use it even for LAN connected devices.

Installation

HACS

This installation method is preferred since it allows automatic updates in the future.

Install by searching for Hik-Connect integration in HACS.

Manual

  1. Download this integration.
  2. Copy the folder custom_components/hikconnect from the zip to your config directory.
  3. Restart Home Assistant.
