Arm/Disarm with smartphone keypad app

[M4DM4NZ]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know any solutions where i could use a 24/7 powered smartphone attached to a wall to be used as an alarm keypad to arm/disarm my blueiris cameras?.

I currently use blueiris to send an alarm wav file to my PoE siren speakers when deepstack detects people outside of business hours, but sometimes staff enter the building during these hours too.

So i wanted to setup an old smartphone next to the door where they could punch in a PIN number on entry then disarm the cameras by switching blueiris's "profile status" from "active" to "disable".

I'm thinking some basic keypad app installed on the phone that supports MQTT / IFTTT so i can send commands to the blueiris server.

Maybe someone knows of a solution like this already in the wild, let me know...

Cheers.

Not exactly what you had in mind, but a workaround is to use the smart lock on the old phone to unlock, have the default display be UI3 or the BI App to disarm. If you look at the UI3 help -> UI Extensions or URL parameters, you'll find that you can customize the UI3 interface to be... pretty much whatever you want.
