Awesome thanks for this, I will have a play when I get a chance as I also have a Reolink doorbell. I’m thinking of setting up a mmWave sensor to check when my baby is in bed and then not notify upstairs when he is.
Cool. Adding a time dimension should be straightforward enough.
Yeah shouldn’t be too hard, I probably wouldn’t use time based though-will have a mmWave sensor above the cot to detect presence and base it off that as he naps at random times sometimes!
That's what I meant. Dot know why I said time. You'd just need to add the sensor status into the function that compiles the list of target notification devices, and remove the upstairs echo if necessary.
I was thinking of maybe adding support to set the volume of notifications per device, so you could use that as well.
Nice work!
Inspired by this solution for Google Home, I made a Node-RED flow to allow me send doorbell press notifications to any Echo device I care to specify.
