[Reolink.Oskar]

We’re thrilled to announce that Reolink has officially joined the Home Assistant ecosystem as a Platinum-tier "Works with Home Assistant" partner—the highest certification level! Our commitment to privacy, local control, and affordability aligns perfectly with Home Assistant’s mission to empower users with a unified, open-source smart home experience. Let’s dive into how Reolink cameras can supercharge your setup!  
What is Home Assistant?
Home Assistant (HA) is a powerful, open-source home automation platform that lets you centralize control of all your smart devices—lights, sensors, cameras, locks, thermostats, and more—through a single interface. With HA, you can create custom automations, prioritize local control, and ditch cloud dependencies.
Why Reolink + Home Assistant?

• 30,201 users (and counting!) already use the Reolink-HA integration, making Reolink the #56 most popular integration (surpassing Ring!).
• Platinum certification guarantees rock-solid reliability and advanced feature support.
• Privacy-first: All Reolink cameras operate locally—no cloud required. Block internet access? They’ll still work flawlessly with HA.
• Affordable clarity: Crisp day/night video, local SD card storage, and optional Home Hub expansion.

Supported Reolink Devices
Directly Connected Models (No Hub/NVR Needed):

• Video Doorbell (WiFi), Duo 3 PoE, TrackMix PoE, RLC-823S2, and many more (full tested list).
• Battery cameras (e.g., Video Doorbell Battery, Argus Track) work via a Reolink Home Hub/NVR.

Not Supported: 4G/LTE models (e.g., Go Plus, TrackMix LTE).
Battery Devices Tip: Use a Home Hub/NVR as a bridge to conserve battery life. Avoid 24/7 streaming on dashboards!
