There is an update for the Ring HomeBridge plugin, the plugin retries connecting to the API when a connection attempt fails. Since the latest update I've been abled to use the homebridge plugin again.

Can you explain how you've used it with domoticz .?

[Doudy]

I am also interested

I was replying to Clemen about the HomeBridge plugin. This plugin is not compatible with Domoticz, but it adds Ring support to Apple's HomeKit.

Huge kick here...


I was thinking about purchasing the Ring 2.
Is this compatible with domoticz already?
I would like to use my current 433mhz chimes which I have placed in my house so i do not have to buy the chimes from Ring...

I do have a klikaanklikuit ACDB-7000B connected to my current doorbell. If I can connect this to the Ring 2 it would be fine as well...

Any experience with this?

thx...

[JuanUil]

also interested as if the ring 2 is compatible with domoticz.

[JuanUil]

Any news or advantage on this?

[MichaelMeyer]

[JuanUil]

don't know why this item is marked als solved, because it isn't

I’ve connected my Ring 2 doorbell with Domoticz by using a python library from here:

https://github.com/tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell

I have a dummy doorbell switch set up called doorbell (in this case idx 1096) and I use a python app running continually (as a service) to poll for a push on the doorbell

Code: Select all

from ring_doorbell import Ring 
from time import sleep 
import urllib2

ringUsername='MyUsername’
ringPassword='MyPassword'

myring = Ring(ringUsername,ringPassword)
# Now loop infinitely
while(1):
 data = myring.doorbells[0].check_alerts()
 if data==True:
   urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.0.52:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1096&switchcmd=On’)
   sleep(1)
   urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.0.52:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1096&switchcmd=Off’)
 # Loop around
 sleep(1)

The library has other functions, but I only needed to register the doorbell push with Domoticz

For info how to start this python script as a service have a butchers at:

I have modified the script somewhat to distinguish between bell-press and motion alerts.

I created 2 virtual switch devices, changed one to type doorbell (565 in the below) and one to type motion sensor (566 in the below), and the script now looks like this:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
from ring_doorbell import Ring 
from time import sleep 
import urllib2
import json
import ast

ringUsername='<RingUsernameHere>'
ringPassword='<RingPasswordHere>' 

myring = Ring(ringUsername,ringPassword)
# Now loop infinitely
while(1):
    data = myring.doorbells[0].check_alerts()
    if data==True:
        alert = json.loads(json.dumps(ast.literal_eval("%s" % myring.doorbells[0].alert)))

        if alert['motion'] ==True:
            urllib2.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=566&switchcmd=On')
            sleep(1)
            urllib2.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=566&switchcmd=Off')
        else:
            urllib2.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=565&switchcmd=On')
            sleep(1)
            urllib2.urlopen('http://127.0.0.1:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=565&switchcmd=Off')

    # Loop around
    sleep(1)

Note that this script runs on my Domoticz server. If it is running on a different machine, replace 127.0.0.1 with the actual IP of the Domoticz host!

PS: The whole json.dumps(ast.literal_eval(myring.doorbells[0].alert)) part is necessary as json.loads only accepts JSON with double quotes, and the Ring returns JSON with single quotes.
PPS: EDIT I noticed I had pasted the wrong version of my script. Guess the older one was still stuck in my clipboard. The difference is small ("%s" % myring.doorbells[0].alert to cast it to a string for ast to consume, otherwise it may error!) but important...

Interesting. To test

I posted a small update to the script, just so you're aware!...
