Advantages of Fibaro Intercom with Home Center

[mjalafoo 0]

Hi,

 

I am evaluating using Fibaro Intercom as a main Door Bell. Looking for your thoughts and experience in the pros and cons of Fibaro Intercom in comparison to other IP SIP Doorbells. 

 

Mainly, I am looking to understand the advantages of using Fibaro Intercom with Fibaro Home Center 3. 

 

Can I for example correlate scenes with the Door Bell?

 

What are additional features that I would get if I use the Fibaro Intercom that I would not get if I use other brands?

 

If anyone is currently using the device, what are your thoughts? How is your setup?

I hope you have not bought it yet! If that is the case i would suggest and advice to stay away from the Fibaro Intercom. I have Fibaro all over the house an i am super happy with all my choice, EXCEPT the Fibaro Intercom. Way too expensive for the quality. Way to bad image, features, usage for what you are paying.
Pros:

• You can use it in various scenarios in Fibaro (but possibly you could use others too)
• It is nice that has the wheel to turn to add your passcode (and use it in case of correct password to run a scene)
• It looks very pretty
• It has two inputs/outputs to connect to gates etc...

Cons:

• Way to expensive
• Super bad image quality
• Lack of features
• Software full of bugs
• Forgotten outdated software
• They advertise that the APP of iOS is better than Android, which might be, but but are useless
• Motion sensor not even identifying motion, except if you are 10cm close
• I am here replying because i logged in to this page to try and find a solution to the useless motion sensor this thing has... and to complain to Fibaro.
