I have a Reolink DLC-830A and using the native integration. I have two questions:
-
How can I toggle detection on/off from an automation?
-
How can I activate a ptz preset from an automation?
many thanks in advance!

Hi
I’ve got a couple of Reolink camera’s with automations setup.
But I don’t quite understand your question, around toggling a detection from an automation.
Do you want to force trigger a detection via an automation versus from the camera detecting and triggering a detection status?
In your automation actions select ‘call service’ , then switch.toggle or whatever you need and select the entity of the detection
Something like this
- service: switch.toggle
target:
entity_id: switch.reolink_sala_1_registra_audio
data: {}
and for the PTZ something like this:
- service: select.select_option
target:
entity_id: select.reolink_sala_1_preimpostazione_ptz
data:
option: Preset_Name
Hi, I mean I want to enable/disable the motion detection so that I can via an automation decide when I wan’t the camera start detect motion or not.
Oh okay, I don’t disable motion detection, but rather supress the alerts so if something happens, I still have the recording, but don’t receive a notification on my phone about the motion detection.
In my case I have a Driveway camera, and I supress notification if the garage door is open or the front door as they are next to each other. Also I have a boolean switch that will supress notification, used when working on the driveway with the door closed.
My notification are via Pushover with an image attached of the detection.

Thanks it’s works. I thought it was dedicated Reolink service for that…
