Reolink doorbell to play chime on sonos speaker?

I've got a reolink wifi doorbell and its chime plugged into a socket in the kitchen. I'd like to also get a chime played on a speaker in an upstairs office.

I've followed instructions to create a script that will make lights in my house flash when my Alarmo alarm is triggered. I was hoping to do something similar with my doorbell, create a script when doorbell is pressed to play a chime on a speaker but so far I'm struggling to get anywhere with it.

Any tips or pointers as to where i might get instructions to implement such a script?

I've had the 100x40 about six months now and it's great value for money. Works perfectly fine with HA via Z2M. Very bright too at full tilt!

Is there a particular recommendation for a zigbee controller? I have HA running on an old desktop PC.

Was going to go for the SonOff:

Definitely get network one. I find they are much more flexible, and much easier to adapt if you ever change your set-up.

Currently using a Zigstar UZG-01.

There's also the Smlight 06 or whatever it's called.

Also, it takes a bit more effort to setup initially, but zigbee2mqttt if definitely better than zha.

I got this one - https://smlight.tech/product/slzb-06/

as it is POE and could be placed in a better location than where my server is.

As a result I have the sonoff zigbee usb dongle sat around doing nothing if anyone wants to take it for pittance - Dublin based.
Would recommend the POE if your machine is not at the centre of your house / zigbee network though.

It's a Soma smart blind integration. I had their connect USB stick but it kept going offline. Switched to using an old raspberry pi. They provide an image for it. It's working better but I still seem to get some timeouts on actions.

Ive up the ble TX power to maximum on the devices, maybe that will help. It has default, medium and max. I'm not sure what default is..

My project is to get a light in a small under-stairs bathroom to turn on when someone enters the bathroom and turn off after say two minutes of no motion detected. I had something similar in my last house but using philips hue sensor and bulb which I don't have this time.

The light is a dumb led ceiling light, the light switch is a standard light switch. Home assistant is up and running and I have a sonoff motion sensor (SNZB-03) still in the box.

What I'm thinking is that i need a zigbee smart switch, possibly this one (No Neutral Wire Required, SONOFF ZBMINIL2 Zigbee Smart Light Switch (2 Way), Works with Alexa, SmartThings Hub, Google Home&SONOFF ZBBridge-P, ZigBee Hub Required : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools).

In HA, I would have automations which would work like this…
1. When motion is detected, turn on smart switch for five minutes.

2. If switch is on and no motion detected for two minutes, turn off smart switch.

My questions…

1. Is the zigbee smart switch linked OK to use in Ireland?
2. Do the automations sound feasible, can i turn on a light at the switch when the motion sensor is activated?
3. Anything else I should consider?

TIA

This is what I've done for a similar job. I've a small zigbee pir from aliexpress and ikea bulbs (Tradfri)

to handle the delay I've a binary sensor based on the pir detecting motion

#in template.yaml file

- binary_sensor:


- unique_id: "BathroomOccupany202509"

name: "Bathroom Occupancy" state: >

{{ is_state('binary_sensor.pir2_occupancy', 'on') }}

delay_off: "00:15:00" # stay ON after last motion

availability: >

{{states('binary_sensor.pir2_occupancy') not in ['unknown','unavailable']}}

basically what this does is turn occupancy on anytime a motion is detected (maybe wrong choice of phrase in a bathroom :-P) and waits 15min before turn off/unoccupied

Below is the code for the automation, sorry the code formatting in boards messed up so you can't just cut and paste. but you can set it up in the GUI if you follow the logic.

Summary, it's triggered by the occupancy sensor turning on or off, then turns the light on or off. I've a condition based on my weather station so make sure it doesn't turn on during the day, you can use the sun integration to do similar based on sunset/ sunrise

I've a slow turn off to allow occupants to move around if they're still there and haven't set off the PIR

I was actually looking into the emporia myself last week best I could do was get the Vue 3 from Amazon UK website:
