[APP] Reolink

I also have version 1.0.23 installed. I’ve activated all motion zones in the Reolink app on my phone, excluding nothing. The push notification app on my phone is working. But no notifications are arriving in Homey. Homey isn’t registering any motion. I’ve restarted the app on Homey several times. I haven’t changed the ports. I haven’t changed anything in the Fritz!Box either.

In the Developer Tools

It’s working again. Don’t ask how :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: . I rebooted Homey four times and then it worked again.

When the connection to Homey is dead only a restart can reset that, unfortunately.

@Koktail ​My Reolink RLC-520 camera using the latest Reolink package (1.0.2​3)​ stills says Device Unavailable / Connection lost while the device is perfectly working and has the latest firmware installed.
Re RLC-520, the behaviour is very strange: I delete it and re add it. It works fine for 1 or 2 minutes and then become unavailable for ever.

Hi Koktail

I’ve encountered a problem. Here’s a simple flow: When a person is detected, the Reolink app should launch on the kitchen display.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes (very often) it simply shows the camera image without any person detection.

I’ve also noticed that triggering the kitchen door contact also launches the Reolink app on the display. However, I haven’t included this door contact in any flow.

That is pure magic, or a forgotten flow somewhere:
Check which flows it’s in by using the alternate mouse button on the device on my.homey.app;
Or
By long pressing the device, and in the next screen you’d tap the ‘flow icon’ at the screen bottom.

A door contact also can trigger zones, so when you use zone activity in your flows, things get more complicated.
You’d better, or also perform the same steps above for the camera device.

(tip: add Simple Log app cards to flows, to build a flow and device actions history).

Hi @Koktail

This seems to be a non-app related generic bug with the “auto populate flow cards” functionality, because the “Doorbell rang” card isn’t there in this case, just like the “turned on” card in the Philips TV issue quoted below, 1st bullet.
In English:

Philips TV from Athome: this only has the teigger “switched on for x seconds”. This is not recognised by the Homey 2023. After 1 second, it does not switch the TV logic to “yes”

Homey apparently ‘generates’ the corresponding ‘turned on for x seconds’ trigger cards, even if the ‘is turned on’ card does not exist / is not present / has not been created automatically.

To clarify, here is an overview of the available but non-functional Reolink ‘turned on for x seconds’ trigger cards:

I’ll report @ Slack as well.

I have the same problem here. I changed nothing, but after a few days Homey does not get any notification’s from Reolink like: Persons, Vehicle.

Changed nothing in my network.

@Koktail Can you fix it with a Reolink App update on Homey?

I have the Reolink Home Hub Pro, with 3 Argus B350 (solar powered) connected to it. How do I add these into my Homey self hosted service? I can manage to add the Home Hub, but none of the camera show up anywhere.
