Chinese visual technology firm Reolink has announced its integration with Homey, a smart home platform from Dutch company Athom, part of LG Electronics, that connects devices from more than a thousand brands into one ecosystem.

This collaboration means Reolink cameras are no longer just for monitoring, as they now work in harmony with lights, locks and thermostats. By joining the Homey ecosystem, Reolink cameras can trigger Homey Flows, which are automations that run based on what the camera detects.

“Through our partnership with Homey, Reolink cameras become the eyes of the entire smart home, detecting what matters and creating a home that genuinely responds to what’s happening around it,” said Annie Potter, head of marketing for Reolink in North America. “This is what truly connected living looks like.”

With this integration, Reolink devices move beyond standalone cameras to become active participants in a Homey-powered smart home. Reolink’s built-in smart person, pet and vehicle detection can now be used as direct triggers for Homey Flows, allowing cameras to activate other smart devices automatically to create a more responsive living environment. For example, a person detection event in the backyard can automatically initiate an “On Watch” mode, in which the patio lights turn on, the living room blinds close and other connected cameras start recording the moment the camera detects someone’s presence.

This partnership simplifies smart home management by bringing everything into one intuitive interface. Directly from the Homey App, users can receive instant doorbell and motion notifications, capture snapshots automatically during events, and even turn on camera spotlights, trigger sirens and change viewing angle through pan-tilt rotation. By linking Reolink’s AI intelligence with Homey’s ecosystem of devices from more than a thousand brands, a security setup evolves from a dedicated monitoring system into a proactive, responsive part of a household’s daily routine.

Reolink’s wifi, PoE and NVR systems, with the exception of 4G and LTE models, now work in harmony with the Homey environment. Integrating Reolink devices into the Homey ecosystem is a seamless process: users simply search the Reolink app in the Homey app store, add their cameras and immediately begin building Flows using camera events as active triggers.

“A camera that detects someone is useful,” said Stefan Witkamp, CEO of Athom. “A camera that detects someone and then locks your doors, turns on the lights and sends you a photo, that’s a smart home.”

Reolink (www.Reolink.com) offers smart security for homes and businesses, aiming for a seamless security experience with its range of products.  Athom is the company behind Homey (homey.app), a smart home platform for control, automation and energy management.
