How To Get ANY Video Doorbell To *AUTOMATICALLY* Stream To Your TV!!

[@paulhibbert]

Happy Saturday everyone! Something a bit different today! I've not done a tutorial in a long time, and I thought I'll do something easy. Turns out Android TV has changed a lot in the last year or two and Nest have totally bollocksed up their Android TV app so this was an utter nightmare to achieve 🤣 Easy to replicate though now I've gone through that pain so I hope this one helps you all out! There's no sponsorship on this one so if you fancy buying me a beer as a thank you then the details are below, as usual no pressure at all to do so...

Morning Paul, I have NVIDIA shield, and if I ask google assistant to stream front yard camera to Nvida shield, it just does? Do you need this program if you want it to interrupt t.v??? I have nest thermostat, but only use Voger Cams...When I tell home assistant.... ...home assistant.....

[@mirrteam8146]

Seems to work. Maybe I go back and watch the vid...

What happens if the TV isn't on? Nothing? Do you still get the push notification on your phone?

Phone off - not push right?

Well this is brilliant Paul! The only thing that could make it better is if there was some company that made the software for all these devices that could implement a simple button for this. 🤣

Would love this too, sports mad kids go ape when the video feed appears during matches etc

[@meishseeks]

I've just done this with my ezviz cctv camera is there an easier way to find out your field point ? Also just to note when I opened the APK tasker after installing it told me it wouldn't work unless purchased from Google play store so don't know if things have changed since thus video was made 🙂 Ps is there anyway to ask tasker to change your HDMI channel so if your not watching anything on say your shield but on something else .. it Will change to your shield and load the camera app ?

[@GaelyneGasson]

Hi Paul - Hope you enjoyed the beer I sent your way last week. I had to figure out what the average UK beer price was which was rather fun stuff. This video ... It was excellent. I no longer watch TV but this is EXACTLY the kinda thing my late husband wanted to figure out how to do 5yrs ago. He got something working but it still required he grab his Android tablet. I learn so much from watching your videos and having done written tutorials I can really appreciate what a pain doing a video version would be. You nailed it. Cheers from Australia!

[@paulhibbert]

Thank you so much. You'll likely get a thank you from me by email eventually. Things have been hectic this past month! Hope I did your husband proud ❤️

[@TheGg6422]

I worked on CT, MRI scanners for 30+ yrs and this procedure is more involved that operating one of those... It proves Paul Hibbert is a smart cookie besides being a funny guy!

[@wholenebaleba]

Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. kzbin.infoUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa

Is there a way to figure out mouse coordinates for fire TV? Im testing this using "notifications for fire TV app" instead of push bullet

[@kennethpeel4112]

Thanks for the this super cool video. do you have an updated version? Thanks.

[@SteveyoungphotographyUk]

I've got a reliable Aeon motion sensor at my front door that never false triggers. I just set an Alexa routine which basically goes 'if sensor triggers, then tell alexa to show me the front door camera'. The feed then pops up on my lounge echo show.

[@paulhibbert]

Thanks mate 😊

[@hydeapd]

Yes. here I am nearly 2 years later looking at this tutorial. Thats because I have finally purchased a Video doorbell, The Aqara G4. Any chance you could do something like this with Home assistant, as a tutorial? Also Tasker is a paid for product and i dont think you mentioned that in this video. Obviously, they may have started to charge for it, but is there anything free we could use instead. Thanks

[@ELMANTEC]

Thank you Paul. That was brilliant. I'm just super disappointed that in 21st century people have to go through all this procedure instead of just click on the phone "show the doorbell camera on my TV, when motion". ;( ;( ;( It's so sad how the smart home industry is so dumb. :/

I hate to say it. But doorbells with HomeKit support from Apple, Netatmo for example. It's just works seamlessly with Apple TV, so a live view in a small windows on your Apple TV without any rocketscience settings in this video..

Hi paul how does this work with ring doorbells i just get an error

[@aj51081]

Thanks for the tutorial Paul, do you know if there are any alternatives to push bullet since it isn’t available on ios?

[@cerietke]

Don't have a camera doorbell, just watching for entertainment value (and a little for Tasker curiosity). Question though: are the automated button press coordinates always the same? I guess potentially for this app they are, but what if someone wanted something similar to your tutorial, but launch a different app with different button placement? How would they find the right coordinates?

[@TheoWillemse]

If I'm not mistaken, the coordinates are counted from top left to bottom right. If you have a lower or higher resolution it could be these coordinates are not for you. You could however check the developer options of that android device to see if there is an option that shows the coordinates. Guess these coordinates are pixel based so you could also do a raw calculation. It's quite a big area where you can click in.

[@cerietke]

@@TheoWillemse With a little luck there might be an app that can give you the coordinates. I was hoping Paul might add how he got them to his post, as people will likely look there first and it seems like a bit of an oversight for the tutorial not to mention how he obtained them. And agreed, top left to bottom right seems sensible, different resolution would most likely change it for other devices. I also remember a well hidden setting in Android for how much screen elements should be enlarged, which I once used to make everything on my phone a bit smaller. Unfortunately I don't remember the specific setting, but it needed a terminal command so it probably isn't commonly used. In any case, it seems likely that the coordinates can vary.

[@paulhibbert]

Trial and error is the only way I've found to do it, just punch some numbers in and then press play in tasker and see where the mouse ends up clicking, repeat the process until the mouse is clicking in the right place 😊

[@cerietke]

@@paulhibbert If I find a bit of time I'll see if there's an easier way.

[@davecl35]

If you use easy setup in autoinput you can choose where to click

Is there a way to distinguish between different types of notifications within Tasker? Like, for example, getting a notification from a Nest thermostat vs the doorbell camera.

[@martijn4740]

Ahh the best begining of the saterday morning have a great weekend Paul

[@SubaruVideosUK]

Great video. Silly question though. Why would you choose to use push bullet to push the Nest notification from your phone if you have the Nest app installed on the Shield...?

Yes, agree. You would think that the Nest App on the TV /Nvidia would get the same notification when the doorbell is depressed, to then show the door camera.

[@MrMrmusic13]

Hi Paul, I know you did this video a while back but I had a number of questions. As a newbie I'm trying to automate some things for my parents home and the idea of being able to have the video doorbell automatically display on the TV for them would be fantastic I understand the basic concepts of what you were putting together - now to my questions. Since a bit of time has passed are any of the steps/tools need to be updated to do this? The TV my parents have is a new Samsung - 55” Class S95B OLED 4K Smart Tizen TV so I assume it has the capability to install the apps you talked about in it's OS. They have a eufy video doorbell. They also don't have an android phone, but they do have an IPAD that can run the eufy app and receive doorbell notifications. Does the tasker app work on an ipad or does it need to be an android phone? I'd love any advice you can give on how to get this automated process started. I'd be happy to buy you a few beers so we can chat - let me know your thoughts. Love all your videos and I hope you have a great new year and look forward to hearing from you soon. Thnx Bob Kresz

Great video but how do you do this without using nest app? Like say Eufy doorbell?

[@paulhibbert]

Replace nest app with Eufy and select the Eufy app throughout the tutorial instead of nest 😊 the only other thing you might have to change is where the mouse clicks on the screen when configuring autoinput.

[@Djfredo_]

Does this works for RING too? Or just nest?

[@technickuk]

Great tutorial video, and shame about Amazon Fire TV sticks not working for this. One minor thing you missed is that you need to set the Nest app to only notify you when someone presses the door bell. Mine is set to notify me when the door bell is pressed or when it sees a person, in which case my TV is going to be flicking to the Nest app way more times than I need it to. I guess some people will learn this the hard way tho! 🙂

[@paulhibbert]

Mine only ever triggers when someone is on my driveway, but yeah, good shout! I should have probably included this!

[@jamesvourtsis8070]

Paul, this video showed up on my feed and not noticing it was 3 years old, I started watching it. I don’t have any of the equipment you used, but I watched the entire video. This is one of the best and most clear instructional setup videos I have ever seen. You missed your calling as a corporate trainer. Well done. I am curious though, certainly you didn’t learn all these disparate programs to link together by trial and error and inspiration, so my question to you is where did you get the procedures from that you based this video on? If it’s been too long to remember or you are too busy to answer anyway, well done. I don’t know how well this video aged, most technical software videos don’t age well past the first software update, but since the utube algorithm is recommending this video, you might want to check and see if the steps are all still correct.

[@paulhibbert]

I believe it all still works! The irony is that I did train people in corporate settings for years but the pay was terrible! Thanks for the kind words dude.

Does this work with Eufy dual camera doorbell?

[@techguy348]

I know there is a way to grab the actual stream file by making a Google developers account and tapping into it that way, it would be a quicker startup but probably more complicated. Or the Google assistant has a voice command to open the camera directly that could also be implemented into tasker instead. I think that can only be done with the new Chromecast though.

[@Far_Ken]

Depending on the stream type, wonder if that could be pushed directly to VLC media player, which is readily available on Android TV.

@@Far_Ken from what I remember it is a standard rtmp stream but the encryption key rotates. Probably better off trying to work the google assistant command into tasker to open it so everything is happy.

[@jcwatkins6]

Just a thought. I don't have nest and haven't used Tasker in a while. If the nest app is on the shield, would you get notifications on the shield and eliminate the phone steps. Would this not work or do notifications not come through on TV or are we just keeping notifications off so that it doesn't interrupt movies etc. Also, can you have it look for a specific word within a notification or someway to only open app with specific camera?

[@paulhibbert]

This is how I planned to do it before I realised android TV had done away with notifications in favour of toast pop ups. This ruined my day big time 😂 The answer to your second question is yes. You can put specific notes in your push bullet and have tasker react differently to different notifications. 😊
