- VTS5240
The easiest way to install the integration is with HACS. First install HACS if you don't have it yet. After installation you can find this integration in the HACS store under integrations.
Alternatively, you can install it manually. Just copy the dahua_vto folder and all of its contents into your Home Assistant's custom_components folder. This is often located inside of your /config folder. If you are running Hass.io, use SAMBA to copy the folder over. If you are running Home Assistant Supervised, the custom_components folder might be located at /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant. It is possible that your custom_components folder does not exist. If that is the case, create the folder in the proper location, and then copy the dahua_vto folder and all of its contents inside the newly created custom_components folder. The disadvantage of a manual installation is that you won't be notified about updates.
Add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
sensor:
- platform: dahua_vto
name: NAME_HERE
host: HOST_HERE
timeout: TIMEOUT_HERE optional, default 10
port: PORT_HERE optional, default 5000
username: USERNAME_HERE_OR_secrets.yaml
password: PASSWORD_HERE_OR_secrets.yaml
scan_interval: SCAN_INTERVAL_HERE optional, default 60 - platform: dahua_vto
name: Dahua VTO
host: 192.168.1.2
username: admin
password: password
scan_interval: 5Note: If you change a name of integration name: Dahua VTO, you should change entity_id: sensor.dahua_vto in example to your sensor name which you can found in Home Assistant Developer Tools.

event_data:
Code: DoorStatus
binary_sensor:
- name: VTO Door Status
state: "{{ trigger.event.data.Data.Status | string == 'Open' }}"
device_class: doorYou can send any command using the service dahua_vto.send_command or dahua_vto.send_instance_command and receive reply as event.
dahua_vto.send_instance_command sequential call to service.factory.instance, service.method with object returned by factory.instance and service.destroy, where service it's a first part of the method before .. Result of service.method returned as event.
I doesn't found documentation but you can grab some commands and their parameters from Dahua-JSON-Debug-Console-v2.py
All device client.notifyEventStream and client.notifyConfigChange messages you will receive as events, information about some of them you can find here.
For most of the cases you can use BackKeyLight event State, the list of some of them you can found in table below.
Possible that in your case the State will be different and this depends from the device model.
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Normal state, No Call/Ring |
| 1, 2 | Call/Ring |
| 4 | Voice message |
| 5 | Call answered from VTH |
| 6 | Call not answered |
| 7 | VTH calling VTO |
| 8 | Unlock |
| 9 | Unlock failed |
| 11 | Device rebooted |
