How to add aqara button

How to add aqara button.
I have aqara security hub and have button in front door as doorbell.
How I find the "buttonSid" number?

Получаю ошибку FFmpeg exited with code -2

Хотя если подключаю через "platform": "Camera-ffmpeg", вместо "platform": "Video-DoorbellV2", то всё работает корректно!
Подскажите, пожалуйста в чем проблема

А также возможно подключить кнопку не от aqara а gpio от реле sonoff sv к примеру?
Заранее благодарю

credentials for lock url

hey,
how can i add the credentials for the lock?
on browser i have to enter username and password for the http action.

if i put the credentials into the url, i get an error on homebridge log

<title>401 Unauthorized</title>

Unauthorized

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Thanks!

2-way audio

hey,
thank you for this plugin - i tried for some days to get in run.
my hardware is a synology nas with docker for my homebridge and an AXIS A8207-VE doorstation.
video is working fine, still image also!
audio from camera is working, doorbell notification is working and door opener is working!
but i miss 2 way audio, to answer the person in front of the door.
the axis app / die camera has microphone and speaker - it works on axis app.

is it possible to use in home app? Big thanks!

Конфликтует с другим плагином

После добавления плагина подсветка хаба и кнопка добавления устройств пишут нет ответа.Скорее всего это из-за конфликта плагинов

using GPIO pins

Can you make support for using GPIO pins?

• for button
• for control lock(better if it will be with setting for time how much relay will hold lock - eltctromagnetic or electromecanic)
• sensor to control door state.

Usecase?

Do I need to have a program making the rtsp stream or does this make the stream itself from a connected camera? And if it does only just need a stream: what are the requirement? can this be a http stream or how does it work?
