Integrate SIP Video Intercom System with Indigo
Posted: Tue Oct 08, 2019 6:06 pm
In the process of fitting out a new house, I am considering the installation of a SIP Video Intercom System to the front door (similar to https://www.activeonline.com.au/shop/residential-intercom/voip-sip-based/active-online/sip-7-colour-intercom-sytem-poe-single/#add-poe-switch).
I have previously used a Ring doorbell in conjunction with the Indigo Ring plugin, but this introduces delays due to reliance on Ring's web server. The SIP intercom system also provides greater flexibility for intercommunication in the house using multiple monitors.
However, I would like to initiate Indigo actions when the button on the door station is pressed - from simply turning on lights or ideally showing the vision from the door station on an Indigo control page. This would require some form of plugin or script to monitor the SIP activity on the network to allow an Indigo trigger, or in more advanced form, retrieve the image from the SIP "stream".
A hunt of the forum has failed to identify any existing plugins or scripts that relate to this application - the closest is the Cisco IP phone integration plugin (https://www.indigodomo.com/library/104/) that operates in the opposite direction ie control of Indigo from the phone.
Any suggestions or contributions would be welcomed!
