How to Integrate Reolink Devices with the Homey App?

Before Your Start

Before adding your Reolink device to Homey, make sure:

1. Your Reolink device is supported

Check the compatibility table above to determine whether your device can be added directly or requires a Home Hub/NVR.

2. Update the Apps to the Latest Versions

Download and make sure both the Reolink App and the Homey App are updated to their latest versions.

3. Prepare a Compatible Homey Device

You need a Homey device or system to integrate your Reolink devices, such as Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini, Homey Bridge, Homey Cloud, or Homey Self-Hosted Server.

4. Make sure Homey and the Reolink device are on the same network

Homey needs to communicate with the Reolink device through the local network.

If your network uses VLANs or other network segmentation, make sure Homey can access the network where the Reolink device is located. Homey's setup page also allows you to adjust the subnet when necessary.

• Step-by-Step Guide to Add Reolink Devices to Homey App

  Step 1. Add the Reolink Device to Reolink App.

  ❶ Tap Add New Device or icon in the Reolink App.

  ❷ Scan the device’s QR code (or check your photo album if you saved it) Or tap Manual Input > UID and enter the UID, tap Next.

  ❸ Enter the device password (the default username is admin) to access it.

  Note: If you want to know more details on adding devices, refer to How to Add Reolink Devices to Reolink App.

   
   

  Step 2. Enable all Server Settings on Reolink App.

  ❶ After adding the Reolink Devices to the Reolink App, tap the icon > More Features > Advanced Network Settings > Server Settings.

     

  ❷ Enable all ports and configure the port value if necessary. However, we recommend using the default port value without changes.

   

  Step 3. Set up your Homey Device on Homey App.

  Follow this article, Set up your Homey Device, to power on and set up the Homey Device correctly first.

  Step 4. Add the Reolink Device to the Homey App.

  ❶ Open the Homey App, tap Device  > Connect Device or  in the upper-right corner.

  

  ❷ Search for Reolink or input Reolink, and tap Reolink to select the Reolink device.

   

  ❸ Select a Reolink device that has been added to the Reolink App, such as a camera, doorbell, NVR, or home hub. Then tap Connect.

  Note: If your camera is connected to a Reolink Home Hub or NVR, select Home Hub or NVR to add as a whole unit.

   

  ❹ Make sure the HTTP(s), RTSP, and ONVIF ports are enabled on the Reolink App. If you have already enabled this feature according to step 2, skip this part. Then tap Continue.

  

  ❺ On this page, you need to input the subnet/IP address, password, and HTTPS ports of your Reolink device.

  

  • In the Network section,

    the default automatic discovery will search for some Reolink devices within the same subnet as the Homey Device. If your network uses a different subnet or VLAN configuration, modify the subnet in the Subnet to scan field as needed. The subnet is typically identified by the first three parts of the IP address. For example, if the IP address of your network is 192.168.25.100, enter the first three parts of the IP address, 192.168.25, in the Subnet to scan field.

    Alternatively, if you want to add a specific Reolink device to Homey App, tap Switch to manual setup. Then input the complete IP address of the Reolink device in the Subnet to scan field. You can find the IP address in the Reolink App by going to the icon > Device Info. Refer to How to Find the IP Address of Reolink Device to learn the detailed instructions for getting the IP address.

  • In the Credentials section, input the password of the Reolink device. Note that you should not modify the username, as this is the default.
  • In the Ports section, ensure the HTTP(s) ports value (default port value) here is the same as it is on the Reolink App, as mentioned in step 2.

  Once inputting the correct information, tap Search for Cameras/Doorbells/NVR/Home Hub.

  ❻ Then select the devices you'd like to add and tap Continue. 
  Note: If you have added multiple cameras to the Reolink App and use the automatic discovery feature to search for devices in the Homey App, all devices on the same network subnet will be listed. Select the Reolink device you want to add to the Homey App, as shown in the image below on the right.

   

  ❼ Tap Continue Setup to proceed.

  

  Step 5. Setup Reolink Device on Homey App.

  ❶ Select the location where the Reolink device is installed. In Step 3 — Set up your Homey Device, you've already followed the in-app instructions to set up your home layout. Therefore, assign your Reolink device to a Zone or corresponding location in this step. For example, if the camera is installed in the kitchen on the first floor, select First Floor > Kitchen.

  

  ❷ You can personalise your device by renaming it, selecting an icon, changing or assigning the zone, and so on. The available customisation options vary by device. Refer to the options displayed in the Homey App for your device. Once you have finished personalising, tap Finish and Got it to get ready to Automate.

   

  Done! Reolink Devices have already been added to the Homey App. You can now view and create flows, as well as use other features for Reolink devices on the Homey App.

  

  Note: If your Reolink device is an Account Device, it cannot be added to the Homey App. It is suggested that you set the Reolink device up as a local device instead, and then add to the Homey App.

  What Can You Do with Reolink and Homey?

  1. View Live Video and Capture Snapshots

  Supported Reolink cameras and doorbells can provide:

  • Live video 
  • Snapshots (You can also use snapshots as part of Homey automations.)
  • Main and sub-streams, and switching lenses of multiple-lens cameras, where supported.

  Note: Only supported cameras and doorbells support the above features in the Homey App. NVRs and Home Hubs do not support live view.

  To view a camera's live feed, go to the Device page and select the camera you want to live view.

   

  If you want to switch lenses or video streams, tap the Camera (main - h265) option to choose the desired lens or video stream.

  

  2. Use Reolink Events and Control Features in Homey

  By integrating Reolink with Homey, you can use camera events to trigger automations and incorporate supported camera controls into your smart home workflows.

  Use Reolink Events to Trigger Automations	Supported events may include: Motion detected Person detected Vehicle detected Pet detected Package detected Doorbell pressed Visitor detected
  Control Supported Camera Features	Homey can control features such as: Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) PTZ presets Spotlight Siren/alarm Infrared lights Day/Night mode Doorbell light PIR sensor Privacy mode

  Note: Each Reolink model supports different events and feature controls. Refer to the features displayed in the Homey App for your Reolink device.

  With Reolink now integrated, your security devices can participate directly in these automations. For example:

  • When a person is detected → turn on the hallway lights.
  • When the doorbell is pressed → send a notification and show the camera feed.
  • When a vehicle is detected at night → turn on the spotlight.

  3. Create Flows with Reolink Devices

  You can create Flows in the Homey App to connect your Reolink devices with other smart home devices. Tap Flow > Create a Flow.

   

  A Flow can generally be configured with:

  • When: Select a Reolink event that starts the Flow.
  • And: Add conditions to determine when the Flow should run.
  • Then: Select an action to be performed by Homey or another connected device.

  For example:

  When: A person is detected by the backyard camera
  And: It is nighttime
  Then: Turn on the outdoor lights and send a notification to your phone.

  When the backyard camera detects a person at nighttime, Homey will turn on the outdoor lights and send a notification to your phone.

  For detailed information about creating and managing Flows, refer to How to Create Your First Flow.

Summary

The Reolink Homey integration connects your Reolink security devices with your smart home, allowing camera events to trigger Homey Flows and supported camera functions to be controlled from Homey.

Once connected, you can use supported detection events, live video, snapshots, PTZ, spotlights, sirens, and other camera features to build smarter home automations.
