DoorBird and IP Address
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2021 7:55 am
To the author... thanks for writing the DoorBird plug-in. I'm using it with my D202B and I prefer to use hostnames instead of IP addresses to access my devices, and since my DoorBird is setup for DHCP, its IP address could change at any time.
I modified both the plugin.py and Devices.xml to indicate "Network address" instead of "IP address" and also commented out the code in plugin.py that checks for an IP address in the field. Now you can put either an IP address or a hostname and it works just fine. It's much more flexible this way.
I can forward the changes to the plug-in author. Is he still supporting the plugin?
