@bill Hello Bill, any plans on having Ring Integration? Is it in your timeline or still not be considered?

Thanks as always

#4

Yeah, this will probably be added at some point. I’m usually a little hesitant these days to include devices that don’t have an official public Open API. There do appear to be quite a few people interested in this so I will definitely look into it. As of right now though, I can’t really provide a date on when it will happen.

+1 for Ring integration. It would be a real game changer and could really bring this platform into the limelight! If you need any Python development, PM me.

#6

I’ve been debating getting a ring doorbell for a while now, but no one has knocked on my door in probably years. I don’t even have a regular doorbell! If you want me to answer the door, you’ll have to work for it. Lol

I’d probably get one to play with if it integrated with HR

#7

I bought Amcrest instead… open api and RTSP :+1:

#8

+2 once integrated I am on board since only item left

#9

I added my Ring device to Samsung Smarthings, and then managed to add it THR via that. I can see the Ring device status only, not video. Perhaps someone could develop this idea further?

#10

I’m fairly certain SmartThings doesn’t let 3rd parties stream Ring video through their API. I think you can only view the video streams in the official SmartThings app. I have an Arlo camera linked to SmartThings & it does have the VideoStream capability but the URLs are blank. Maybe they handle Ring differently but I kind of doubt it. If someone wants to try, be my guest. Send the SmartThings device status request in CURL (or Postman) & let me know what you see.

Here is the full status JSON from my Arlo camera.

I tried to display Ring snapshot using a Web Image and it does not work (nothing appears). Is it normal ? I get the picture when using the URL in a browser. My hub is Hubitat.

#12

You may need to use the WebBrowser control. I can take a look at it if you’d like to send me the URL.

#13

Thank’s @bill it works with WebBrowser control. The only thing is that when displaying in the simulator I get pictures bigger than the screen and when on my phone, the pictures are half their grid cell. But at least I got pictures now. I’m learning Home Remote so I guess I did something wrong.

Thank you for your help and your nice product. I will continue to learn and probably will pay for Pro.
