🏢 What If Your Intercom Could Do More Than Just Ring?
With Ryan video intercoms, you already get sleek design, multi-apartment support, and reliable door access control. But when you integrate them with Tuya Smart Life, you can do so much more.
Imagine:
- Triggering hallway lights when someone rings your bell
- Automatically unlocking the door when a trusted user calls
- Receiving video call alerts on your phone and triggering other automations
Let’s explore how you can turn your Ryan intercom into a powerful smart automation hub — using the Tuya platform and a few supporting devices from WeVolt Lebanon.
🎯 Why Link Ryan Intercoms with Tuya?
Ryan video phones (e.g. RAD382F, RAR132, RAD505) are compatible with Tuya-based automation when used with a Tuya-connected controller or smart relay input.
✅ Benefits:
- Voice or app-controlled unlocking
- Linking intercom events to scenes (e.g., video call triggers lights)
- Sync with other smart devices (e.g., Skydance dimmers, MOES relays)
🔌 These integrations are perfect for apartments, villas, and smart building projects in Lebanon.
