Your go2rtc release is amd64 but your neolink release is arm64, is that correct? |

nope, that's a typo from when I was testing on an arm system. Thanks for pointing it out, I've edited the post. |

@bezmi I was able to get the above working on my frigate docker compose. First issue I had was that go2rtc was in '/usr/local/go2rtc/bin/go2rtc' for me, so I have move the newer version there. The second issue I had was that I needed to add the following to /config/neolink/neolink_talk.sh Otherwise it would not find the config file |

Does this overcome the 2way audio not working issue introduced in firmware v3.0.0.3215_2401262240? |

I'm not sure, probably not as it uses the same protocol as reolink stuff. Might be worth a shot. If you're reasonably adept with linux, I can help you test by sending an mp3 to the doorbell from the commandline. This will give confirmation on whether it will work before you go through the hassle of doing the frigate config. |

Attempting to get this to run but receiving nothing but a loading screen when trying to start 2-way talk, if I try to run neolink_talk.sh within the container I get this:

Looks like you tried to run a shell script through the python interpreter. The "| ./neolink ... " part may not work. I used a full path for the executable /config/neolink/neolink and the config file /config/neolink/config.toml. Or do what @x-cimo suggested above and add "cd /config/neolink" near the top of the script. |

I tried to get the neolink 2 way audio working on my Reolink doorbell. I'm able to play the audio using the command But when i try and use the mic button in home assistant app no 2 way audio come out, also I notice that my stream is not as fast when using neolink. here is my config `root@frigate:/config/neolink# cat config.toml [[cameras]] `root@frigate:/config/neolink# cat neolink_talk.sh ffmpeg -fflags nobuffer -f alaw -ar 8000 -i - -f wav - | /config/neolink/neolink talk front_door -c config.toml --volume=1.0 -m -i "fdsrc fd=0"` |

more testing shows that 2 way audio works using the old method when not on the local network but not with neolink. It may be do to not installing ssl package. I'll try testing it out in the near feature |

The volume is a little low for me. What is the maximum that I can safely put for volume in the neolink script? Also, I have a frigate container with integrated neolink. It's on docker hub at My repo is here: https://github.com/BEFH/docker_frigate/ In order to configure, you can use the scripts and config files in the repo, changing IP addresses and passwords.

@bezmi I don't know if you want to take a look at this, but it should avoid having to rerun the package installation every time the container restarts. |

@JoshuaSeidel are you using my example YAML for the lovelace card? If so, there might be a problem with the streams. Did the test script work for talking? Did you look at the frigate logs? edit: you are also using the latest firmware whereas I am using not the previous one but the one before that. |

No need to rebuild the docker. The config folder should be mapped to a folder outside you docker on your server. I have the stable, tensorrt, and arm64 versions in my Docker Hub. |

I think I have actually experienced this. The LED colour which indicates "two-way talk active" remained on and I found no way to fix it without restarting the doorbell or manually exiting the neolink processes in the docker container. I haven't used two-way audio in a while (it's easier to check who's at the door and just walk up to it as the small delay of neolink is still a little too much for our small house) but if I do, I'll update go2rtc and see if the problem recurs. |

Yes that's what I experienced. My frigate laptop is up again. But on HA I dont always see the mic icon anymore. weird. I'll have to do some testing when i get time tomorrow. I havent yet tried the new go2rtc but it is loaded in. And yes I ended up using Befh's docker repo since mine wouldnt work anymore. weird. i need to reimage this computer into a faster one. this one's ethernet is dying too - so it's on wifi right now |

oh well, i guess, at best, this is only useful for nothing - unless i now how long it'll take., and for actual 2 way audio i'll have to use the slow method. I added a timeout for the 2way audio and even then it left the exec running when i stopped viewing the video :( - except, it just wouldnt work anymore You'd think that neolink would terminate when its input stream ends :/ |

We can open an issue in the neolink repo to ask for the feature, seems like it would be a reasonable addition. You can also put the timeout to a long interval. We know that neolink can have multiple processes running. It's a hack job for now, but may be usable. |

After testing some more, it seems to me (as in a hypothesis) that go2rtc is causing issues. neolink is timing out and being killed, but I notice after 4 attempts of go2rtc starting neolink after the timeout, the stream freezes and the container needs a reboot. I set the timeout to 10s, and after 50s, that specific stream will die. I can still view the doorbell on other apps without audio, its just the stream that the frigate card is pulling in that freezes and needs a container restart. Ive been testing all sorts of variations to try and play nice with go2rtc. At one point the timeout was working and go2rtc was catching it (the go2rtc logs will show that the exit code is 124, use I have several terminal panes open and am running example config/neolink/loggo2rtc output |

Extending my comment which was originally posted on the go2rtc issue
Here are some detailed instructions to get reolink doorbell two-way talk working via QuantumEntangledAndy/neolink which offers much lower latency than the rtsp backchannel. It's pretty much the same latency as the reolink app. Obviously, this is highly experimental and might break things so use at your own risk!
First, some commands to install neolink and deps in the frigate docker container. see footnote
Make sure you enter the frigate container first:
docker exec -it frigate bashNow create the file
/config/neolink/config.toml:and the file
/config/neolink/neolink_talk.shMake it executable
Finally, edit the go2rtc streams section in your frigate config file,
/config/config.yml:The first entry is the regular stream, second entry
exec:...is the backchannel magic.note: I remove libcairo2 and install a different version to make gstreamer happy. I think this might be the cause of some errors in the frigate log, but I haven't noticed anything actually going wrong. Use at your own risk.
edit: use the full path to neolink executable in
neolink_talk.shBeta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
