Is the ability to play a quick reply only available on the POE doorbell?
Hi, it should work on the wifi doorbell too. I have a POE so i cant confirm
Hi, I tried this and for me does not work, but probably not doing it correctly.
Do you or anyone else know a way to trigger a quick reply in HA?
My scenario is that someone rings the doorbell I view it on HomeKit and then depending on the situation I have setup 2 switches that I can toggle, one will unlock the door and the other is just for a message, I want to map a quick reply to both these switches via an automation. I have setup the door to unlock fine but would like the message to go with it.
If you go to developer tools - states and find your door bell play quick reply message, it should list all the ones available, try to copy the message text from there and past into the option box
Thank you, here us what I have but the message does not play, followed your steps too and using the correct message name.
Thank you so much that worked!

Hi there. I tried setthing this up, however, it’s only showing me the option to select an auto quick reply message.
Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
Thanks!
Hi, it wont list the available ones. Use developer tools to see the options. If this still doesnt work. Can you share a screenshot
Hi, I posted this in the github issues section for the reolink integration. Turns out, since I’m connecting my doorbell to a NVR the functionality isn’t available (yet). However, it seems that Reolink has updated the firmware of a similar NVR recently so there is hope that they’ll also update the firmware for my NVR.
This doesn’t work
Using the action/event select.select_option doesn’t work for me.
The only way that works fine is using shell/curl to interact with Reolink’s API.
On HA configuration.yaml:
shell_command:
doorbell_quick_answer: >-
curl --insecure -X POST 'https://192.168.1.123/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=QuickReplyPlay&user=admin&password=password' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '[{"cmd":"QuickReplyPlay","action":0,"param":{"id":{{id}}}}]'
And create a script/automation like:
alias: "Answer doorbell"
sequence:
- action: shell_command.doorbell_quick_answer
metadata: {}
data:
id: 3
Enjoy o/
Thanks all for the great information provided here. At the time of writing, quick replied can be triggered easily.
However, is it possible to add the Doorbell as media player to be able to send TTS to it? I found Alexs great webrtc integration but I just want to ask if anybody is aware of a more straightforward solution. Would it be possible to put it into the perfect integration from StarkillerOG?
