Hi Simon Kai,
Are you referring to a battery-powered camera? I’m not sure if that would be good for the battery, but you could create a flow: Camera 1 moves a short distance to the left every 5 minutes. Then the camera receives a signal and executes it. This should wake the camera up every 5 minutes. Alternatively, you could send a screenshot to nowhere; that would also wake the camera up. However, the battery consumption would probably increase significantly.
At what interval does the camera go back to sleep? You’ll need to set up the flow with the appropriate time interval so that the camera doesn’t go back to sleep.
Hi Christoph, yes, it’s about a battery-powered camera. I don’t want it to be on all the time, but rather to wake up when another camera, which is constantly powered, detects something. I also tested the “walking left” method. But I get the impression it then pans by varying amounts and perhaps even moves out of the field of view.
I also tested the “taking a picture” method, but I thought it wouldn’t wake up. I’ll try that again, though. Thanks.
You can use the following as an “If” card: If camera 1 detects movement/person, then camera 2 takes a screenshot or does something that wakes up camera 2.
Hello, I would be very happy if these options were also available as triggers soon. And it would be great if one could start continuous recording via a flow.
Is it possible to add the Reolink Chime as a device, along with its associated entities, such as volume, on/off status, chime type, and other available settings?
Thx.
I have trouble adding some cameras. I am using the reolink home hub for recording. I can add the video doorbell and the hub. But my two w320x and the e330 will not. There’s no option to change any network settings on them.
Hi @Koktail
Thanks for the update and for adding the Hub’s Scene mode!
I’ve been testing it out, but I noticed that my custom scenes are not showing up. Would it be possible to implement support for custom scenes in a future update?
Keep up the great work! 
Thanks. Homey does not support dynamic values in the enum list unfortunately. The custom scènes can be selected in the flowcards.
You should be able to add it with this.setCapabilityOptions(), another developer confirmed that was working. I haven’t needed a dynamic enum in my own apps, so I haven’t tried it but it should work for enums as well
Perfect, I can see and use the custom scenes in Flow Cards, so that’s working fine. I’m currently doing some testing and I’ve noticed that the conditional card “And Scene is Away” is returning an error.
It fails immediately with the following message:
“Baichuan response timeout for cmd 601”
Thanks!
