DoorBird is a Berlin company, Bird Home Automation GmbH, that makes IP video door stations: network-connected intercoms with a camera, a doorbell button and door opening. A phone app shows who is at the door, and the stations can also work with indoor panels, smart locks, SIP phones and home automation systems.
DoorBird stations connect over Ethernet with Power over Ethernet or over Wi-Fi, and the app works on the local network and remotely. They also offer a documented local LAN API, a built-in SIP module and an optional DoorBird Cloud, which stores history images. That makes DoorBird a good fit for professionally planned systems such as Control4, Crestron, Loxone and KNX, and for Home Assistant and openHAB users who want local video and events.
It is weaker for anyone who wants plug-and-play voice control. DoorBird says it has stopped work on Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomeKit integrations for data privacy reasons until further notice. The LAN API is also marked beta, and some integrations, such as Homey, need extra hardware.

The main app. Shows live video and audio from the door, lets you talk to visitors and unlock the door, and sends push notifications for doorbell presses and motion. It works on the local network and remotely, with a free visitor history, geofencing and selectable ringtones. The iPhone listing lists iOS 12 or later and has a basic Apple Watch companion. DoorBird says the watch can show notifications and open the door but cannot carry audio. Published by Bird Home Automation GmbH.

Connection
Ethernet and Wi-Fi
Yes
The app listing names Wi-Fi and Ethernet with Power over Ethernet as connection options. The LAN API runs over HTTP on port 80 and HTTPS on port 443. We did not find Wi-Fi band details.
Each station has a built-in SIP module for SIP phones and home automation systems, set up in the DoorBird app. DoorBird says not all SIP telephones are compatible. Its integrations page lists SIP phone brands such as Auerswald, FRITZ!, Grandstream, Yealink, Snom, Tiptel and 3CX.
The LAN API document says communication between the station and DoorBird Cloud servers is encrypted, and that history images are stored in the cloud. The app listing says history is free. We did not read pricing or data-location terms.
DoorBird says it has stopped working on Google Home, Alexa and Apple HomeKit integrations for data privacy reasons, until further notice. It does not currently recommend any of them, and says it will keep looking for secure, privacy-compliant options.
Covered by the same DoorBird statement as Google Home. The Apple Watch app is a companion for notifications and door opening, not a HomeKit integration.
DoorBird lists Kwikset, Weiser, Nuki, August and Yale as Gold partners that open the door for visitors, with Kevo as Silver. The app's version notes also mention Tedee and Pindora, which we could not find on the integrations page. Lock support extends to garage entries: the page lists LiftMaster and Chamberlain, which launches myQ from the DoorBird app, and Aladdin Connect.
Gold partners. DoorBird says all intercoms have native RAVA support, so Crestron touch screens need no driver. Crestron Home has a separate driver, and a SIMPL module is sold separately.
A built-in DoorBird integration provides camera, last-ring and last-motion image, relay and night-vision button, and event entities. It is classed as Local Push. It needs the API-Operator permission, and the page recommends a dedicated DoorBird account. Maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by DoorBird.
DoorBird GmbH is listed as developer of the Homey app. It lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server, and says a Homey Bridge is required for both the LAN device and the DoorBird Cloud device. It offers doorbell and motion triggers and actions for the IR light, door relay, restart and sounds. The listing shows version 3.3.5 updated about two years before our check.
A DoorBird binding is in openHAB's add-on list. It covers D101, D201, D205, D1101V, D210x and the A1081 controller, with doorbell and motion events, relays, image history, an audio sink and SIP rule actions. Things are added manually, and events arrive on UDP port 6524, so a different VLAN needs routing. Maintained by openHAB, not by DoorBird.
No Node-RED node for DoorBird was checked. The LAN API's HTTP and UDP interfaces could in principle be used from a flow, but we could not confirm a maintained node.
No Domoticz plugin for DoorBird was checked. We could not confirm one exists.

Loxone, KNX and others
Official
DoorBird lists Loxone (via a configurator for the Miniserver), Homematic IP, Fibaro, Vera, digitalSTROM, Gira and several KNX panel makers, and says it is a KNX member that works through a gateway. It also lists FHEM and MisterHouse as community-developed.
No IFTTT service appears on DoorBird's integrations page. The app's version notes mention HTTP(S) calls and webhooks, which could trigger web services, but we could not confirm an IFTTT integration.
DoorBird publishes a LAN API document, revision 0.36 dated 13 November 2023, which it marks as beta and subject to change. It covers MJPEG and RTSP video, snapshots, audio, relays, history images, UDP event broadcasts, schedules and SIP. Requests use Basic or Digest authentication with the app's credentials. An API-Operator permission is needed for favorites, schedules, restart and SIP, and DoorBird advises enabling it only for central automation servers.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
