Unfortunately the pi architecture I’m on isn’t supported by either of the Hikvision Doorbell integrations. More accurately, the SDK requires aarch64 or amd64 and my pi is armv71

I think my work around for now will be setting up a sensor fed by shell_command running the curl command to get the output from callStatus. It’s dirty but should work until I have more time to investigate further

EDIT: Confirmed as working without getting banned by the doorbell

- platform: command_line
  name: Doorbell Status
  command: "curl -s --digest -u username:password http://192.168.x.xx/ISAPI/VideoIntercom/callStatus?format=json | jq -r '.CallStatus.status'"
