Reolink Camera Works with Homey: Smart Home Automation and Integration Guide

Reolink is excited to announce official integration with Homey, the smart home platform known for its powerful automation engine and broad device compatibility. With the new Reolink Homey app, your cameras and doorbells are no longer just monitoring devices, they become intelligent triggers for your entire smart home.

You can now create automations based on what your cameras see and hear: person detection turns on lights, a doorbell press triggers notifications and actions, and motion events capture snapshots automatically.

This integration works whether you use standalone cameras, a Reolink Home Hub, or a full Reolink NVR system.

What is Homey?

Homey is an advanced smart home platform that connects thousands of devices (lights, locks, sensors, speakers, and more) into one unified ecosystem. Its standout feature is Homey Flows, a powerful automation builder that lets devices react intelligently to real-world events.

For example:

• When motion is detected → turn on lights
• When a doorbell rings → send alerts and show camera feed
• When a person is detected → trigger alarms or lock doors

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

Does Reolink Work with Homey App?

Yes. Reolink now works seamlessly with Homey through the official Reolink Homey app available in the Homey App Store.

This is not a workaround or community plugin. It’s a dedicated integration designed to allow Homey to communicate directly with your Reolink cameras, doorbells, hubs, and NVR systems. This official partnership means reliable performance, ongoing support, and deep compatibility between the two ecosystems.

Your Reolink devices become intelligent sensors inside Homey:

You can:

• Receive doorbell and motion notifications in Homey
• Use person, pet, and vehicle detection as Flow triggers
• Control spotlights, sirens, and PTZ directly from Homey
• Capture snapshots automatically during events
• AI detections become automation triggers
• Cameras can activate other smart devices
• Events can start complex multi-step Flows across your home

This turns your security system from passive monitoring into active smart home intelligence.

Reolink Cameras & Homey: Which Models Are Compatible?

The Reolink Homey integration supports a wide range of devices, including:

• Reolink PoE and WiFi cameras
• Reolink video doorbells
• Cameras connected through Reolink Home Hub
• Full Reolink NVR systems

Whether you have a single camera or a multi-camera NVR setup, all devices can be brought into the Homey ecosystem for centralized automation.

Getting started is simple:

1. Open the Homey App Store
2. Search for the Reolink app
3. Add your Reolink devices to Homey
4. Start building Flows using camera events as triggers

You can create Flows such as:

• When person detected > turn on hallway lights
