Reolink Doorbell Notification - and 2 way audio

Configuration
1

Hi there,

I’ve got the Reolink Doorbell (WiFi) up and running. It’s working with the Reolink Integration in Home Assistant - but I’ve also got Frigate installed and working as well.

In Home Assistant I am using the advanced camera card.

I’ve also got the Frigate and Reolink integrations installed. I get alerted on my phone when there is movement picked up.

What I want to do is to get notified when someone presses the doorbell. I’d also like to be able to communicate when that happens with 2-way audio.

What is the best way to achieve that?
eg by the Reolink app, with the advanced camera card (but how do I get notified about the doorbell being pressed?).

Thanks!

We use an automation triggered by person detection and someone pressing the doorbell that takes a snapshot and sends the link to this with the iOS notification. Tapping the notification opens the Reolink app. Works for us with a single-camera setup.

Automation actions are:

  - action: camera.snapshot
    target:
      entity_id: camera.doorbell_fluent
    data:
      filename: /media/doorbell_snapshot.jpg
  - action: notify.both_phones
    data:
      message: >
        {% if trigger.entity_id == "binary_sensor.doorbell_person" %} Person
        detected at front door {% elif trigger.entity_id ==
        "binary_sensor.doorbell_visitor" %} Doorbell was pressed {% endif %}
      data:
        attachment:
          url: /media/local/doorbell_snapshot.jpg
          content_type: JPEG
