Scrypted Scripts

Appearance

Face/Fingerprint Recognition Unlock ​

This script/process allows a face or fingerprint detection to unlock a door.

Smart Motion Sensor ​

  1. Create a Smart Motion Sensor inside the Video Analysis Plugin.
  2. When creating the Smart Motion Sensor select your doorbell camera as the Object Detector.
  3. Set the Detection type to face (Scrypted NVR) or fingerprintIdentified (Unifi Protect).
  4. Set the Object Detection Timeout to 15 to reset the automation after 15 seconds.
  5. In the Recognition section.
  • If recognizing faces, enter the name of the person(s) to match. These names must match the names labelled within Scrypted NVR.
  • If recognizing fingerprints, any known fingerprint will trigger the sensor. Specific fingerprints can be filtered by entering the Unifi user UUID which is captured in the logs.
  1. Sync this new Smart Motion Sensor with HomeKit or Home Assistant.
  2. Set up an automation in HomeKit or Home Assistant to unlock the door when the sensor detects motion.

Confirmation Chime Automation ​

This step is optional/recommended as it provides the person positive audio feedback when recognized.

  1. Create a new Automation in Scrypted.
  2. Set the Trigger to the new Smart Motion Sensor.
  3. Set the Trigger Condition to eventData === true so it only triggers when motion detection starts.
  4. Create an Action of type Script, replacing the Doorbell device name with the one matching your doorbell:
ts
const doorbell = systemManager.getDeviceByName<Intercom>('Doorbell');
const mo = await mediaManager.createFFmpegMediaObject({
    inputArguments: [
        '-re',
        '-i',
        'https://cdn.pixabay.com/download/audio/2023/06/01/audio_77fe776ce5.mp3?filename=simple-notification-152054.mp3',
    ]
});
await doorbell.startIntercom(mo);
