Request for illuminator support for the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED

[Coldrush]

First of all, I have just discovered this add-on and I'm loving it so far. Thank you for all your hard work @rroller! Is there any way I could support this project? I always love to appreciate the work of HASS community members but I couldn't find a donation link.

Furthermore, good news: I can confirm that the Dahua IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED works smooth - can be added to the table on the Github page. Let me know in case you need additional details.

There's one minor request: HASS doesn't seem to pick up the support for the Illuminator although by camera surely does have the setting.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm trying to 'smartify' the illuminator of my cameras so that I can make my HA automations even better.

Describe the solution you'd like
Would love support for the 'Illuminator' service for the IPC-HDW5442TM-AS-LED camera straight from within HASS.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Obviously, I can change the Illuminator settings from the web UI. I'm also able to adjust the Illuminator settings by simply putting the API request in my browser, eg. this works:
http:https://user:password@ip/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&Lighting[0][0].MiddleLight[0].Light=70&Lighting[0][0].Mode=Manual

Additional context
N/A

Thank you! I'm lucky enough where I no longer need money. What I don't have is time :-) the best way anyone could help is to help out with the code. Help find issues. Or even just make feature/support requests as you've done here. And to provide links like you did. That helps a ton! I'll see if I can get this added. I might need you to test soemthing for me since I don't have this model of cam. I'll keep you posted and get to this as soon as I can

Wow, this was super fast - support desks can't even beat you ;) Another reason why I love the community here. Happy to help wherever I can. Just give me a heads-up - I'll be here.

Hi @rroller! I was wondering if you have already had the chance to look into this!

This is the cam? https://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/productDetail/33367

Per the API you called, this is very different from the other illuminator API calls I've tested with. It'll be hard for me to add support for this device without having an actual device to test with.

Can you post a screenshot of the integration? I want to see what all entities are added.

[rroller]

OK, might have a fix for this.

I released https://github.com/rroller/dahua/releases/tag/0.9.37

Can you try that?

Confirmed that the illuminator is still not available/working in 0.9.43. The API request in the description also works for me. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help troubleshoot (debug log doesn't show issue).

Thanks for the awesome integration, its running my Dahua doorbell and central to many of my security automations! P.S. As a workaround I'm attempting a custom device using the API call above to turn on/off the illuminator.

Hi @rroller. Is there anything I can do to help get this working?
The API call in the description still works for me but the illuminator isnt available.

Checking in on this. I was interested in the IPC-T5442TM-AS-LED, similar model, but was hoping I could automate the control of the LED.
