StroTek LLC Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We are currently telling our clients that if they want access to intercom on their phones, they need a doorbird or a ring.. we literally cannot wait to sell the DS2 instead.. but until this app is out and works 100%. we will not even mention it to clients Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingElvis Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Really dumb question. What equipment do I need to hear the doorbell from the DS2? Currently, I only have the camera feeding into an NVR (for recording) and Sighthound software (for monitoring and mobile alerts). It’s kind of crazy that I don’t have basic Ring functionality on such an expensive device. I’m eagerly awaiting this app so I can get some type of alert. I just use an EA-3 with a home A/V receiver to power audio and video in my master bedroom and bath. I don’t really need audio throughout the house. My kids just wander around with headphones on ignoring me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Leeds UK Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Dealer said it was in beta - did speak with him about it and tomorrow I get a new T3 for cost (£350) C4 lied about alexa and I was proven right - so they had to amend there adverts . but good point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR we just play A DING DONG sound over the whole home audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR we just play A DING DONG sound over the whole home audio Got it. Crazily enough, I don’t have an old fashioned doorbell or whole home audio installed. Let me double down on the dumb questions. With the latest software can I simply have it trigger a When Then event and alert me via some other app or Alexa enabled device? Can I have it trigger a Zigbee compatible device/bell to alert me? I do have ceiling speakers installed in my family room (that I don’t currently have hooked up to anything). Can I simply add another receiver hooked up to the EA-3 to power those speakers for the doorbell? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hook up a amp to the EA3 and the speakers.. but I would leave the amp on.. so you instantly hear the doorbell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I’m happy this app is coming out. Seems crazy to me that I need to spend close to $2K for DS2 and T3 and still don’t necessarily have all the functionality of the Ring. I’ve got like 6 iPads, 3 iPhones and a few Apple Watches floating around the house. One of the iPads just sits in the kitchen with a family calendar up on the screen. I don’t want to add a costly dedicated device that really only helps me with the intercom/doorbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you would get a notification every time someone pushed the doorbell. You could even set it up to email you a picture of the person at the front door each time the doorbell gets pushed.
