Are there any compatible Homey doorbells on the market that let you answer when away from home without a subscription? I see many without subscription that record locally, but are there any solutions for being able to answer the door when away from home without subscription?
Can you elaborate on “answering the door”?
What do you want to do to get Homey to answer the door?
Like, Homey should play a text-to-speech card or a pre-recorded message?
(because probably not all doorbell apps provide for this functionality?)
When someone rings it would notify you on your phone whether you are in or out the house. An app would be good with 2 way video. A bit like the facility on ring, but without a subscription.
Reolink doorbell sounds like it ticks all the boxes.
There’s only an additional subscription fee if you want rich notifications (with a snapshot) but you should be able to implement those with Homey for free.

Is there an app for Homey as I don’t see one?
The ONVIF app supports it.
