Inspiration what to connect to BLI

32 replies
Getting a Poe switch would be the best but try to be proactive....I got mine with 8 Poe plugs only to realise after a while that I need at least 16...๐Ÿ‘
Currently I need three so 8 port should be fine.

If I add cameras in future a few more but these little ones are only 55watt so another would be needed in the loft perhaps.

Hi Tassos,

for the Doorbird - what triggers can be send to my BLI ?

- I understand Motion Detection is one trigger, but can the Doorbird OIS App also trigger my BLI ??

e.g. I need a trigger when pressing the "Unlock" button from the Iphone App interface to send a "open door/lock" trigger to my BLI >> then I can have my KNX to push a 24v signal to door lock to unlook the door for 10 seconds.

Hi there

The doorbird has a unlock feature within the app, it triggers the relay in the device to unlock a lock.

Donโ€™t know if this helps but i cannot see why you would use the KNX when doorbird app can do it

Hi Seanie_230,

The problem using the build-in relay in the Doorbird is, that any smart person can then just remove the doorbird and use the 24v power accessible to shortcut the relay and open the door.

If I use the KNX to push the 24v signal directly from my basement only when trigger by the "unlock" triggger, its not possible to tamper the setup from the outside. hope that make sense.

Hi there

Makes perfect sense I never really through about it that way.

When i had a finger print scanner on my previous home the electronics were internal only and rs485 to outside part.

Makes sense


Hi,

I found this on https://khimo.github.io/help_drivers/doorbird/Available Resources

The available resources are:

  • OPEN_DOOR: Resource for open door locks/relays. On BeoLink Gateway, this resource is mapped as BUTTON resource type. Has a PRESS command for open door lock.
  • LIGHT_ON: Resource for turn the light on of DoorBird unit.
  • MOTION_SENSOR: Resource that fire event when motion sensor on DoorBird unit detects activity.
  • DOORBELL: Resource that fire event when door bell button is pressed on DoorBird unit

 

so the OPEN_DOOR must be the event to capture to trigger the KNX 24v power supply to open the door/lock.

Okay , so got my DoorBird installed and now I can see that the resources have different "directions" and they are not all triggered by the DoorBird and sent to the BLI.

Trigger/Event sent from the DoorBird to the BLI:

  • MOTION_SENSOR: Resource that fire event when motion sensor on DoorBird unit detects activity.
  • DOORBELL: Resource that fire event when door bell button is pressed on DoorBird unit

 

 

Trigger/Event sent from the BLI to the DoorBird:

  • OPEN_DOOR: Resource for open door locks/relays. On BeoLink Gateway, this resource is mapped as BUTTON resource type. Has a PRESS command for open door lock.
  • LIGHT_ON: Resource for turn the light on of DoorBird unit.

Quistion:

Anyone who have an idea, how I can have Event similar to the OPEN_DOOR - but send from the DoorBird when pressing the "Open relay" in the App to trigger the BLI ??? as I don't what to use the physical relay in the Doorbird to open the door, but instead my BLI to manage the Relay??
