I am not quite sure I understood (bare with me English is not my primary language)... are you saying that way we can FINALLY answer to video doorbells STRAIGHT from the Home Assistant UI (with answer button and all)?

I used Dahua DMSS just to succesfully add my AD410, but maybe it works also to manage it.

It's available for both iOS and Android devices.

So after having my doorbell sitting on my lab desk for over 1 year I go straight to my question here.

Is there finally a Home Assistant solution that allows us to answer to the AD410 **straight** from the Lovelace UI?

You're welcome mate!

I MADE IT! After the initial WiFi/password setup done with Dahua DMSS I tried adding the doorbell also in Amcrest Smart Home. This time as soon as I entered the device serial in the first setup screen it went straight at ending adding it in "My Devices". Since then I can do everything from...

I can't believe I am having such a nightmare into this, but I am close to made it (ALL by myself)! Long story short... I tried to use the Android app Dahua DMSS and I was able to pair the doorbell with my Wi-Fi network. I mean it is now connected, but... it's neither visible in the Dahua app nor in ...

So I received my replacement AD410 unit and it STILL does the same issue... Please note that I made sure I was giving enough power to the device. I've tried both 2A and 3A Micro USB power supplies, I've also tried using a 24V DIN rail power supply. Again my smartphones are Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5...

Cheers mate anyway.

Meantime I've tried also with a Chuwi Hi12 tablet and a Samsung Galaxy A72.

Both ended up the same way...

Thanks for the welcome and hello there.

It's a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and yes it is connected to my local network.

Same issue if using another phone (this time a Redmi Note 7).

However note that during those steps the phone is connected STRAIGHT to the doorbell access point.

No matter how many times I tried, no matter if I reset the pairing process keeps ending like this.

Shall I think this unit is faulty or is there a fix for it?
