I have recently setup some new POE cameras from reolink with a reolink NVR. I am mostly using HA to interface with my camera system ie notifications etc. I am using the Android app on my phone and have this basic automation to alert me if someone presses on my video doorbell
alias: Front Door Camera Notification
description: ""
trigger:
- type: turned_on
platform: device
device_id: 3f320243258b98c9455b511d576e0d16
entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door_visitor
domain: binary_sensor
condition: []
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_josh_phone
data:
title: Front Door Camera
data:
image: /api/camera_proxy/camera.front_door_sub
message: Visitor at front door
When this automation triggers, it sends a notification to my phone with a snapshot from the camera. If I try to touch/click on the notification it just opens my HA app on the default dashboard. Is there a way I can set it up to direct me to the camera stream? Or at least my camera dashboard?
Is there a way to open the app to a specific camera stream instead of just opening the app to the last used page. Using the code below I can open the app to the main page every time
It works, but is often on a substantial delay, for example the one pointed at my back yard often captures me walking my dog, but sometimes I’ll be back inside the house before I get the notification. And when the notification does come, the image is of the current time and not the time the alert was raised. I believe this is a reolink integration issue and not directly resulting from some issue with my fairly simple automation.
thanks… i was looking for same functionality and it works but when the live stream is launched the play icon is seen on view playing live feed and only if I click play the icon disappears… did you also face similar issue ? if so did you try to resolve ?
