Best way to integrate a door video
Completed
Hi everyone,
I was thinking, what is the best way to integrate a door entry system into Zipato. Obviously after the gues press the bell (question here whether is should be a standard monoswitch connected to a zwave relay?) the bell will ring (probably an easy rule using the indoor siren and other lights, etc.) the video will apprear. Now again what if the TV is turned off - perhaps a tablet on the wall? Idea is that the screen would appear any time so the TV probably will not be the best option.
I like this idea 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
Have been think about similar solutions. Zipato will be integration an IP Intercom soon. But I use to use a one button remote(aeotec panic button or philio panic button) to activate the zipato siren(it has a door bell sound). With my modified wall tab I have a Foscam C1 camera setup at the front door. This has a way two way microphone. 1 A rule activates the siren and sends push messages to everyone. 2. Using Tasker and AutoNotification plugin, the tablet gets this particular message and then automatically starts a Task that opens up the Tinycam monitor app and starts listening.
I am thinking of having the tablet play a message through the speaker on the C1 to say something like "please wait will I contact the owner" this way I have time to get the message when I am away and open up the app and talk to them. You could also take a snapshot and send it to yourself with Autoremote in Tasker. Yes my life revolves around Tasker for android.
