    Thank you for the video! I am using this and am confused about your dashboard reporting. You say the numbers mean Shipped > Out for Delivery > Delivered. However, in the documentation for the Mail & Packages integration, it specifically says that it ONLY reports packages that are either going to be delivered that day OR have been delivered that day. Those are the last 2 states of your 3-state count. So what, then, is the first state "shipped" counting? I would think this would mean shipped by the carrier and arriving in a few days, but according to the integration, that is not reported. Thanks!!

    If you are using RLN8-410 with Reolink cameras. Can you still connect those same cameras into Frigate software as well, or does RLN "consume" the cameras fully? As Reolink mobile notifications are not as good as I'd hope, I'd wish to use Frigate only for the notifications.

    Just a shame you didn't give a proper demo to highlight the long complained about drawback to this doorbell and that it has no seperate notifications to any other Reolink cams you have on your system and that you have to tap several times through the app to view (as with other Reolink cams on you system). Its sort of ok if it's your only Reolink product but other than that there are many better out there. Still at least you got to talk about your sponsor for a bit.

    • @ThisSmartHouse

      The video is almost a year and a half old. This is the first I have heard of complaints with the separate notification. You don't get a "someone rang the doorbell notification"? I set mine up with the home assistant to send a specific notification because I have two doorbells. So I wouldn't have noticed.

    Using Home Assistant it’s an easy setup to have the Reolink Doorbell, or any Reolink camera, take a snapshot image when it sees vehicle/person/ pet/visitor and send that snapshot to your iPhone and Apple Watch. So you are not only notified someone is there but get an image of who it is. Other doorbells may do this as well but Reolink made it easy.

Virtually, no matter what I do, a finish with message: "AddonManager.install blocked from execution, no host Internet connection". My system is installed like you suggest in this video on HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini with i5, yesterday, so it is up-to-date version. Then I found this commands: ha su repair ha core rebuild ha host reboot tha help me to instal one. Only one Add-on (Advanced SSH & Web Terminal) and after that, above message was back, now stay there, no matter what I done, including above commands, so, the problem is not with network or Internet, because this was not changed at all during this attempts in any aspect. Do you have any idea what I can do to solve this problem?

      The only way your camera will require batteries is if you get a battery version that won't connect to an NVR, but if you get a Poe that stands for power over ethernet, the power comes from the ethernet cable and plugs directly into the nvr and from there into your camera so even if your internet is down as long as the power is on the device will still record and you can later access that video stored on the hdd.

    I was just posting about the glitches but decided to read the comments. Looks like others have it covered. It is weird that is it happening. I am wondering if you tried saving it with a different codec before uploading, if that would help?

      Yeah I'm not sure what happened. I've exported hundreds of UA-cam videos with the exact same settings but this one had problems. I think it ended up being a glitch on UA-cams side

    Great video! I’m trying to integrate the J7 into HA. The few sets of instructions I’ve found are very complicated and require JS and Python. Please show us an easier way to retrieve its password and complete the integration.

      Are you using the built-in iRobot integration? It was really easy to set up.

    How many times can it charge before you need a new battery?
