Thinking of ordering REOLINK Video Doorbell

[techbill]

I am looking to replace my doorbell cam and the REOLINK Video Doorbell PoE version look interesting.

I did search on the forum but I couldn't tell so could someone tell me if there a Hubitat driver for it and does it support doorbell presses? I need the doorbell press trigger because I am profound deaf and use light flashes around house to alert me of someone pressing doorbell.

Thank you
Bill

Unless reolink has added support for webhooks, as far as I know you’d need to jump through some hoops, described here:

Reolink Doorbell - receiving Visitor events in Hubitat

This is what I did to receive events in Hubitat when someone pressed the doorbell button. If I have missed out any details, or if I have made any mistakes, please tell me. Motivation: My other half doesn't always have her phone with her so would not always hear the notifications when someone pushed the doorbell button. She wanted some kind of noise or "ding dong" in the house. I think that "phone notifications" require internet access - if true, I would prefer to have a solution which does not…

@techbill I just got one of these, have been very happy with the quality. It also ties in to hubitat via Camect. It will also integrate via blue iris. (That's free for 2 cameras) So you could get it and via blue iris trigger your rule(s)

(ignore the beer )

@techbill - don't worry, we have a team working w/@rlithgow1 on doorbell tech and he's agreed that mounting the doorbell in his office won't be the most useful location.

It’s there to keep an eye on his beer (duh).

I will allow it.

100!!! That's why the team wants it in the mini-fridge, to monitor a lot of beer.

I've been playing with it, I just haven't had time to mount it.... Stupid kids...
