Doorbell dummy switch

[fmpmsilva]

Hi. Is there a away to use only use the doorbell dummy switch without video or stills?
Thanks.

You can use the switch without configuring a proper video path. You will then receive only a message (without pic). However, an ampty video screen will be visible in home app.

And it’s possible to put an image on the empty screen?

[Samfox2]

Sure. You can set the stillimagepath to an image of your choice.

I’m using an iMac. It’s possible to tell me how to do it?

"stillImageSource": "-re -i /home/homebridge/test.jpg",

This is the command (linux) for a pic „test.jpg“ located in home directory of user „homebridge“. Should also work for macOS.

Thanks for the answer. I could try but I can’t get the plug in to work. Doesn’t ad nothing to my HomeKit.

You have to add the cam to your home after homebridge is running.
