I dont have a door station at my house, nor do I think I will because of the aesthetics of it. For my clients that do have the door station that have been asking about "Ring functions" this is promising. I know it is still in beta and only for dealer access right now but it is exciting!

Has anyone tried it out yet? Now if only C4 would get the word that the doorstation is hideous and give us a more traditional option.

So so true.

If customers want integration, then doorbird.

If they just want alerts on mobile devices, they can go buy any of the devices like Nest, Ring, whatever. I'll install it, but no way in hell am I putting my name on those turds for when they don't work.

Sighhhh.....it’s what the app is called. It is supposed to bring ring/nest capability to already existing C4 door stations. Something that has been desperately needed. When someone asks why they have 2200 door station that can’t do what their friends $199 door bell can do it’s a problem.

Yes, it also has intercom capability within the touchpannels, that I could care less about. I’m tired of the question I’m getting from clients with the door station.

Ring said at cedia they were working with C4 and others on integration but I’m sure that’s been set back because of the amazon acquisition.

My life is pretty good as long as I’m not dealing with this shit our industry peddles.

Seriously? C4 hasn’t had door to mobile device calling? Elan has had SIP capability for 3 or 4 years. I throw a $300 DoorBird on the wall and BAM💥! The home owner is answering the front door from the golf course 🏌️‍♀️ ⛳️

I got a similar email the other day from my inside sales rep. It was basically a roundup of things recently announced. The app was first announced at CEDIA last year. My rep had it on his phone and I was able to play with it a little bit. I signed up for the beta but never heard anything other than it's now closed.

This was announced last CEDIA...Sept 2017!

It has been in beta since that date.

This will be far and above what ring/doorbird can do. Doorbird has a limit of only a few touchpanels it will do video calls to. Ring doesn’t do video or audio at all to touch panels, just an events driver ie when pressed execute announcement agent.

Patience young one...

This is incorrect about Doorbird. Doorbird is SIP protocol and will call mobile devices through the control system app.

I am referring to it’s integration with C4 which is apropos to the topic and the OP’s control system of choice. As of last notice they can only video call up to 5 touch panels, again with C4 in reference here. SIP proxy is no longer used in C4 OS 2.10+ projects but has migrated to combridge and freeswitch.
