Silence switch for Reolink Chime

[maxyvon]

The problem

With the new firmware (v3.0.0.4110_2410111119) of the Video Doorbell they added a silent mode for the chime.
To follow this change there could be a switch that would show this state.
If possible the attribute could show the remaining time of the silent mode.

I did not know this mode was added. Will look into it.

However you can always silence the chime in HomeAssistant by setting the volume to 0.
So you can already make automations/scripts in HA to silence the chime.

yes thanks! That's what i was gonna do. But when it's silenced from the app the volume still show the set value (i.e. 1-2-3-4), so you can't see it's been muted.
