Domoticz

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:

It's possible to grab the video with

Code: Select all

from ring_doorbell import Ring 
from time import sleep 
import urllib2
from datetime import datetime

ringUsername='myUsername'
ringPassword='myPassword'

myring = Ring(ringUsername,ringPassword)
doorbell = myring.doorbells[0] 
# Now loop infinitely
while(1):
    data = doorbell.check_alerts()
    if data==True:
      urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.0.52:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1096&sw$
      sleep(1)
      urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.0.52:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=switchlight&idx=1096&sw$
      timestamp = datetime.now().strftime("%d:%m_%H.%M.%S")
      doorbell.recording_download(doorbell.history(limit=100, kind='ding')[0]['id'],
                     filename='/mnt/synology/Doorbell/'+timestamp+'.mp4',override=True)
    sleep(1)

but I'm finding that I'm getting the last video - not the current one. I've tried a pause for 40 seconds, but then no file is written.

Can you tell me a bit about the response time you ar seeing?
So how much time does it take before you see your switch flipped in Domoticz after someone presses the doorbell?

Thanks,
Joep

doorbell.recording_download(
    doorbell.history(limit=100, kind='ding')[0]['id'], filename='/mnt/synology/Doorbell/'+timestamp+'.mp4',override=True
)

videopath = '/home/clinkadink/ring/'

for event in recordings:
        print('Downloading {} event recorded on {} lasting {}s'.format(
