Configure the Doorbell component in Ilevia Manager

Introduction

This guide explains how to configure the Doorbell component using the Ilevia configuration software and how the component works within the Ilevia Control app.

You will learn how to configure the required component properties, connect the Doorbell to devices such as an IP camera, a notification trigger, a scenario and an actuator, and select the users who will receive the notification. The guide also shows how the Doorbell interface is displayed in Ilevia Control and how users can interact with the available actions, such as viewing the camera stream, unlocking the door or activating a predefined scenario.

Component configuration

Step 1

Open Ilevia Manager and go to the Components tab. Open the Access control section and add the Doorbell component under “My components”.

Step 2

Add the IP Camera to the Doorbell component. The IP camera component must contain the camera's integrated RTSP URL in the doorbell, if available.

Step 3

Add a new Switch component to the project and connect it to the Ring parameter of the Doorbell component. This component represents the physical doorbell button, which triggers the call in Ilevia.

Step 4

Add a Scenario component that can be activated when the Doorbell component receives a call.

Step 5

Add a new Pulse component that represents the pulse command used to open the door, then connect it to the Actuator parameter of the Doorbell component.

Step 6

In the For users parameter, select the users who should receive the Doorbell notification. When the component is activated, the Doorbell interface will be available in the Ilevia Control app for all selected users.

Step 7

In the Duration (s) parameter, set how long the Doorbell interface should remain visible on the screen after the component is activated.

Step 8

In the Notification title parameter, enter the title that will be shown in the notification sent through the Ilevia Control app when the Doorbell component is activated.

In the Notification body parameter, enter the message text that will be shown in the body of the notification when the Doorbell component is activated.

Final result in the Ilevia Control user interface

The Doorbell component allows users to receive and manage calls from the doorbell directly from the Ilevia Control app. When it is activated, it provides quick access to functions such as opening the door or activating a predefined scenario.

This guide shows how the Doorbell component works in both the Classic interface and the Map interface, illustrating how to access the available functions and use them in both modes.
