HomeAssistant and Reolink Doorbell POE

After two days and 3 HA restarts went back to normal. Strange.

What is everyone using for an integration? The one mentioned in this thread seems to have disappeared. :grimacing:

I just use the one built in to HA

Yeah I didnā€™t realize there was a newer one these days. It works great.

@Nettuno69 Whatā€™s in this firmware release?

Reolink support site is still showning older firmware:

I added 2 KERUI M525 doorbells. No problem at all. If you look at the pairing process, the pairing setting is initiated and happens on the chimes, nothing is done at the Reolink doorbell, except activate the button within the allowed pairing time of the chimes.
I assume the Reolink just broadcasts itā€™s button press action, and the original Reolink Chime and the 2 KERUI chimes pick up just that one 433MHz broadcast signal.

Is anyone else here using Go2rtc with this Poe camera? If so would you mind sharing your Go2rtc configuration please? Iā€™m still struggling with loading times of the sub stream so wonder if Iā€™m missing something basic in the Go2rtc config? Iā€™ve been searching and havenā€™t found other instances of slow loading times when using this doorbell.

I think Iā€™ve also placed links around the forum to a place where i describe my set-up and also explaining that it takes a long time to load the stream. Not sure anyone has a fast loading time.

No! Itā€™s just gone! I still have it installed and actively using it. I rely on the doorbell press from it heavily. Does anyone know if this is also provided/ detected by the builtin integration? At that time it was not ( I remember it only provided 7 entities at that time for the doorbell).

I wonder what happened to the JimStar one thoughā€¦

The stock integration appears to have the same features. I switched to the built-in integration without much effort.

Changed to the built-in integration. Even more sensors/entities including the ones I need. Thanks for the tip!

1 custom component less :slight_smile:

Sorry, but iā€™m completely lostā€¦

I just bought a Wifi Doorbell and wanted to integrate with my HA environment
Right now Reolink is connected with my Synology NAS, and just wanted to connect to my HA so when someone press the ring i would automatically see the live video on my living room alexa and if posible on my mobile.

Is that posible?

I wanted to replicate your settings but no idea where to startā€¦ could you help me on thisā€¦

  • Reolink Wifi
  • Alexa Echo 10
  • Iphone
  • LG TV

Everything is possible. But you need to see if you can cut the cases.

Right now you have connected it to Synology. This is completely isolated from HA, so not really relevant.

You need to connect the Reolink to HA, step one. Ensure the button press gets registered.

Next you need to figure out how to get the stream onto your livingroom Alexa
Next you need to figure out how to get the stream onto your mobile

Now combine all things into an automation. When button getā€™s pressed to the push stream actions.

Just dropping some device brands to doensā€™t really work.

Any idea why this firmware is not showing on Reolink website? Are you using it currently? All good?

Yes, no problem.

Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
I was testing the 2audioway and it doesnā€™t work properly. With this automation opens the Oficial app within seconds. Great!

what kind of node do you use for the ā€œBlock?ā€ node? thanks for sharing it!

Glad it helped you!

Hereā€™s the block node: node-red-contrib-simple-gate (node) - Node-RED
