Connection to DoorBird Unit

BeoLink Gateway can connect and interact with a DoorBird/BirdGuard unit through the DoorBird LAN-2-LAN API connection.

The Connection Settings parameters are:

  • Host Ip: IP address of DoorBird unit.
  • Login: Username of DoorBird unit.
  • Password: Password corresponded with the username used of DoorBird unit.

Available Resources

The available resources are:

  • OPEN_DOOR: Resource for open door locks/relays. On BeoLink Gateway, this resource is mapped as BUTTON resource type. Has a PRESS command for open door lock.
  • LIGHT_ON: Resource for turn the light on of DoorBird unit.
  • MOTION_SENSOR: Resource that fire event when motion sensor on DoorBird unit detects activity.
  • DOORBELL: Resource that fire event when door bell button is pressed on DoorBird unit.

MONTION_SENSOR and DOORBELL are mapped as GPIO resource type on BeoLink Gateway. They have two state values {0,1}. Default state value is 0 (no motion detected or door bell pressed). When activity is notified in one of these resources, state changes to 1 and the to 0 (as a pulse). On these resources there is no command execution.

OPEN_DOOR and LIGHT_ON are mapped as BUTTON resource type on BeoLink Gateway. The unique command available is the PRESS command, which executes the corresponded action depending on the resource (opens the door or turn the light on).

Resource address doesn’t apply to any resource type except by OPEN_DOOR. Address of OPEN_DOOR refers to an specific relay of your DoorBird unit. DoorBird I/O DOOR CONTROLLER is supported. If an OPEN_DOOR resource address is empty, will refer to relay 1. For the rest of resource types leave resource address empty.
