It is designed for one user, multi-channel push notifications. Like Firebase Messaging but self-hosted. You can use Markdown when composing the messages and do about whatever you want.

Unpopular opinion from what I've seen in this forum, but for me it is Nextcloud followed by Jellyfin.

I use Nextcloud setup fory whole family, about a dozen all together. I even sprang for the DavX5 plugin for several people so we can share calendars and contacts as well as files and notes. We backup photos from our phones using the Nextcloud app. Several of us use it as a backend for KeePass.

We use Jellyfin for streaming; movies, tv, music videos and music. It is the backend storage and library organizer for four Kodi boxes, five browsers, several phones and tablets and a couple of Roku's. It works like a champ, even with the occasional library re-sync.

The selection is really not great at the moment, but I was able to find a factory-refurbished Amcrest AD-410, which arrives today.

Wish me luck.

Ah. It just didn't compute for me. I'd think stopping the DHCP server or making it not listen on that interface would be easier than trying to firewall it off.

Yeah, blocking thise inbound and outbound will quiet that service.

Block port 68 as well as 67. And are you sure the output rule is the best place for that?

Thanks. I'm looking into this. Never heard of this company before, but that sounds pretty compelling.

We have about the simplest/cheapest mechanical chimes you can get. (2 total, one on each floor).

Add "Older than dirt" and that's what I have too. House was built in the late 70s.

Did your Reolink doorbell come with a little battery-looking-device that you had to wire into the mechanical chimes?

How long have you had yours in service? And what model is it, if I might ask.

That is effectively what I had with my EZVIZ doorbell-cam. The image quality was actually really good compared to my basic cameras (2k, 180-degree FoV, daylight and infrared modes). The reason I went this way is that it's damn near impossible to run any sort of wires to the front porch location (Very long story, involving bore-scopes, drills, failure and drywall repairs) which is why I went this way, even with some people being weirded out by the camera on the doorbell.

I may have to go this route if I can't find a doorbell-cam that doesn't suck and is still available for purchase, but that will take months and several tests of the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor).

Thanks. I'm checking through these links to see if this will work for me. Appreciated.

I can't find that model for sale anymore. Every place I can check shows it 'out of stock'.

All the Reolink doorbells I can find that look like HA/Frigate compatible have a stupid electronic chime that won't work for my situation. I need something capable of ringing the mechanical bells otherwise this will fail the WAF check.

That's kinda what happened to me, except that it was a month of back-and-forth with EZVIZ support until they finally copped to "Our company broke that, use the Android App or go to hell" (paraphrasing). Also mine always rejects the verification code, no matter how hard I hammer it in the app. That's why I'm ripping it off my house, telling everyone to avoid this company and their customer-hostile unethical behavior, and trying to find a replacement.
