Getting 2-way audio working Reolink PoE doorbell with Frigate

Third party integrations
1

I’ve tried getting this to work in the past, but I am trying to give it another shot. Most video’s online describing setting up this, are not really relevant anymore (configuration wize).

This is my setup.
I am running:
Home assistant on the home assistant blue 2025.1.2 and 14.1 OS
I am running Frigate on a seperate machine on docker in unRaid.
I have a reolink NVR, but all camera’s and doorbell are connected outside of the NVR on a seperate PoE cisco Switch.

My Frigate code:

mqtt:
host: 10.10.1.10 # YOUR MQTT IP
port: 1883
topic_prefix: frigate
client_id: frigate
user: user # YOUR MQTT USERNAME
password: pass # YOUT MQTT PASSWORD
stats_interval: 60

I think I’ve setup WebRTC correctly. HomeAssistant is on HTTPS, because of I use cloud subscription. All ports on the doorbell are activated. And I think I used the same configuration as stated on the frigate wiki.

In Frigate, the stream of the doorbell is providing sound, but it is not in the homeassistant card

The microphone works from HomeAssistant to the doorbell.

And the microphone and speaker button are only shown in the app and not the desktop browser.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction here.
