I've figured out the encryption component and can receive events from the unit. Firmware v12 (latest version)appears to only send doorbell pushed and motion detected events. I've done some research and it looks firmware v13 might add door unlocked events.
So I was initially thinking of exposing multiple devices within the plugin. A sensor device for doorbell, a sensor device for motion, a switch device for the IR lights and a lock device for the door strike.
There's two issues I can see:
1. Currently we can't determine when the door strike is triggered (should be fixed in an upcoming firmware release). Currently this makes a lock device fairly useless.
2. We can't determine when the IR Light is on (when triggered by motion or within the Doorbid app). This also makes the IR light device fairly useless. No ETA on if/when support for this will be added.
For version 1 of the plugin I was thinking of exposing just two sensor devices - motion and doorbell. The plugin will include actions for unlocking the door and turning on the IR lights. That way we can still control the door strike and IR lights in a basic manor from Indigo.
I will include more devices in future plugin versions as the Doorbid API evolves.
Any thoughts? Better ideas? Improvements?

I have 2 Doorbirds running.
Turning on the IR on movements would be an improvement, it’s very often dark faces and sunny backgrounds on my photos.
With IR they might get som light in their faces even if it’s during daytime.
Another problem is that the masking of the images don’t affect the motionsensor, one of my Doorbirds are faceing a road with a lot of action. I am forced to use SecuritySpy and their masking to get it right.
Looking forward to improvements.
