Hello guys! I’ve tried tinkering for couple of hours to get this to work, but I haven’t had much luck.

Using the Reolink Doorbell PoE camera with their official app haven’t brought me much luck with it’s 2-way communication… there’s too much of a lag with about 5-10 seconds RTT and is often unstable. I thought it was because of my internet connection but I’ve gotten an FTTH recently and it’s still the same.

I’ve managed to install HACS without issue, I’ve tried out the go2rtc and I wanted to get the Frigate card to work with it but with not much luck… I’ve tried Googling what other people have done but it can get so confusing and difficult to get some sense out of it and I end up making even less sense out of it in the end…

Did anyone had experience with it? What was your final solution to get the 2-way audio to work?

    Used Scrypted and HomeKit integration, that was the easiest way.

    I’ve been meaning to spend time to trying the frigate and home assistant onvif integration but the scrypted stuff worked pretty much out of the box.

      Thanks for the suggestion, but still feels like a vague suggestion… will it work when there’s only Android devices available? How do I add a camera to it when I don’t have the HomeKit code to add the camera? I have no clue what to do

        Doubt it, HomeKit is Apple only.

        But the hardware is definitely capable of it, and the features are definitely exposed via onvif. Sorry I haven’t had time to dig more ever since I got it working with scrypted, if I find anything I’ll try post here.
