Reolink Doorbell canned responses

Installing my Reolink Doorbells today. I installed 2 of them, and when I did the canned responses button had populated responses in there. Today I installed an RLN4E NVR. All is working again except the button where there were 3 canned responses before now has no reaponses.
1: Where did the built-in ones go?
2: How can I add my own responses.

I think it’s from the NVR because I added a 3rd doorbell when I installed the NVR, and that one also has no canned responses under that button.


BTW, using current HAOS and the core integration, all the doorbells are running POE, 2 WIFI versions (with external power converters) and 1 POE version. All 3 are running thru the NVR. Firmware is the current released and known by the software, I didn’t go looking for newer firmware manual install versions that usually exist in the ether.

Don’t user Reolink (yet), but I found this in the docs.

Looks like you can record your own from their app.

I appear to be able to send them thru the app to the device, and when the doorbells are not connected thru the NVR I can load them into HA and send them thru HA as well, but when the NVR is in the middle, I can’t get them to play (or load) using HA for the doorbells to grab them.

Thanks @ShadowFist for that RTFM link I had not seen that, BTW. It sorta helped but verified what I was seeing.

I’ll let this hang if here if anyone else with a doorbell connected thru an RLN4E NVR to see if they solved the puzzle or else I’ll ask Starkiller with an issue.

Found this on their github issues. Not sure if it’s the same thing that’s affecting you, but it won’t hurt to be aware of it.

I wrote it up.
