The Ring adapter works with Ring devices like the Ring Video Doorbell and Ring Cam and shows if someone rings the doorbell or if motion is detected. The Ring Video Doorbell or Cam sends a videostream if a motion or doorbell is detected.
After installing the Adapter, you have to enter your Token. Ring now requires the use of Two-Factor Authentication (2fa) for all accounts. For getting the token, please do following on your shell.
npx -p ring-client-api ring-auth-clior
# Unix
cd /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.ring/
npm i ring-client-api
cd /opt/iobroker/node_modules/iobroker.ring/node_modules/ring-client-api
node ring-auth-cli
You can use special variables for your livestream and snapshot path and filename. These variables will be replaced with a counter, timestamp, ring id or kind of ring.
%d: Unix timestamp. Example:test_%d -> test_1588331430061%g: Formatted dated YYYYMMDD. Example:test_%g -> test_20240614%t: Formatted time HHiiss. Example:test_%t -> test_235901%i: ID of your ring device: Example:test_%i -> test_234567890%n: Counter since ring instance start. Example:test_%n -> test_1%k: Kind of your ring device: Example:test_%k -> test_doorbell
Congrats, it's very likely that your current token was put on a blacklist by ring, denying you the push notification you would need. The best way to resolve this is to remove any previous browsers/adapter tokens on the ring website and generate a new token for the adapter.
In order for this adapter to properly react on events, Ring must send the push notification to the used Ring Api Client for this adapter to react on it. The logic in this adapter was checked multiple times and works for plenty of users, so if you experience issues regarding missing events, it's unlikely the fault of this adapter.
- Some datapoints got renamed to be more consistent (e.g.
livestream_requestgot reduced torequestas it already is in channellivestream). - You can now configure wether you want to react on events (with recording, snapshot, ...) or not.
- Binary states got removed.
- The Device Names got extended by their description (e.g., from
Device 1234567toDevice 1234567 ("Floodlight Garden")) - Snapshot/Livestream Data is now in a respective channel, containing the other data points.
- The snapshot/livestream object got changed from type meta to state with type file.
- Events (Motion, Ding, etc.) are now in the respective channel.
- Due to
ring-apidropping the support for node beforev16.xthis adapter needsnode v16.xornode v18.x - Active refreshes are reduced to once every 2 hours, as we are listening/reacting to events.
You can use the SIP Information for a SIP Video Conference with your SIP client. The adapter will not provide all ring devices because the used API does not include all ring devices.
You can use, for example, the Blink SIP client on http://icanblink.com/.
To get video working go into Blink's Preferences and under "Accounts", switch the tab to "Media" and deselect "Encrypt
audio and video" under "RTP Options".
Be careful, the SIP information expires after a few seconds!
Hopefully I will be able to support a video stream soon.
Unfortunately, ring.com does not have an official API that support this feature.
If you press the livestream request button you get new SIP Information for building up a SIP Video Call session.
If you are using the ring.com cloud, you find under history a http link to your last motion /
doorbell recorded video.
