[APP] Reolink

Quick question, how do you force it to low res stream?

No image from my doorbell since the last update today

Also, my Floodlight Duo won’t display

I added the doorbell also via the ONVIF app in Homey. To get the lower resolution, just go to the device settings and look at the ONVIF live stream URL. It usually ends in ā€˜main’ by default—simply copy that URL into the ā€˜USER live stream URL’ field below it and change ā€˜main’ to ā€˜sub’. That’s how it works for my D340W.

Hi @Koktail

I’m experiencing an issue with my Reolink D340W doorbell. Most features are working fine, but the actual doorbell press isn’t coming through to the Homey app.

The device registers person, cars and motion alerts but it doesn’t trigger a ā€œdoorbell ringā€ event in Homey when someone presses the button.

Reolink App: Shows three successful doorbell presses.


Homey App Log: Shows only person and motion alarms, but no doorbell events at those same times.

I generated a diagnostic report for you to look into:
Diagnostic Report Code: 74609275-3d84-4ef5-8730-064a0d57114a

Thanks

Is this still happening in last release? Can you restart the app and send a diagnostic report please? I added some logging for correctly detecting the Codec on seperate endpoints.

Yeah, I have the same problem, app picks up all movements from the doorbell but but doorbell rung events! I’m currently on v1.0.15

What doorbell are you using? And are you using it standalone or behind a hub/nvr?

The doorbell event is working perfectly for me since update 1.0.15. Thanks a lot for the quick fix! :+1:t2:

Hi,

Where can I find the Reolink App? If I search in Apps I don’t see it?

There is only a test version: Reolink | Homey . The app has not yet been made public and can therefore not be found in the app store via searches.

Thanks for the good work you are putting in to this app!
I`v just got a Reolink Video doorbell and can not add that to the app. The settings described is just not avalable in the Reolink iOS app. (Network, advanced, https etc)
Any tip to get it connected?

I’m using the Reolink WiFi wired doorbell with the Homey Hub Pro

Hallo Koktail

A suggestion for improvement or a feature request: If camera 1 or a motion detector, etc., is activated, then camera 2 should move to a saved preset point and start recording.

I hope you understand what I’m getting at. This would allow for even more comprehensive security and significantly increase the detection range of the PTZ cameras.

I’ve already forwarded this suggestion directly to Reolink, and they are indeed considering the possibility of integrating this feature into their software for automation and device linking.

Greetings

Christoph

Can I also make a suggestion for those of us who use the Home Hub Pro, it would be very helpful if we could set a theme via a flow i.e. when I turn on my alarm or everyone has left the house, switch to the Away theme (I think themes are quite new in the hub, they allow for camera setting to be switch as a group when the theme is activated).

Hello Koktail

I cannot set the Zoom function as a ā€œThenā€ map on the following cameras: E1 Outdoor Pro, Trackmix Wifi, RLC-823S1W.

What are the increments of the pan to the right when using ā€œThenā€?

Reolink has gotten back to me. My request regarding the preset function is now being reviewed directly by the software department and will likely be integrated into one of the upcoming updates. They can’t give an exact date yet. They also see this feature as a significant expansion of the cameras’ field of view and for smart home applications.

If I receive any further updates, I’ll gladly share them with you.

Zoom in ā€œThenā€ actions: I’ve identified the issue. The zoom capability detection was too narrow, it only checked for one specific ability flag, while these camera models report it under a different name. I’ve updated the detection to cover the alternative naming as well as device-level abilities. This fix will be included in the next release, after which zoom should appear as a ā€œThenā€ action.

Pan increments: Each ā€œThenā€ trigger moves the camera at a fixed speed for 500ms, then stops. The exact degrees this translates to depends on the camera model, the Reolink API doesn’t expose angular values. If you need a larger movement, you can chain multiple pan actions in a single flow.

Are we going to get cards for when the doorbell rings?

When you add the doorbell directly (rather than through NVR or home hub) there is a ā€œdoorbell rings for x secondsā€ card. Unfortunately the minimum time is 1 seconds, you can’t enter zero for immediate action for some odd reason, but there is a flow card.
