Does anyone know if it would be possible to connect my Ring Doorbell with Google Nest Hub? Ideally, I would like every time the doorbell gets pressed, it casts the stream to my Nest Hub display. Is this possible?
It should be possible with this:
That’s only to Cast Lovelace to a cast device with a screen, correct?
@sro, I was looking into this for you as I was hoping to do something similar with my Skybell. As far as the ring goes, it looks like the integration does not support streaming.
I think first you should connect an events state node configured to your ring doorbell within Node-RED, connect a debug node set to full message and see what is sent when you activate the doorbell. Maybe there is something in there you can use to cast the stream.
It may not be possible since the integration doesn’t allow it, but it wont hurt to see.
Another note, is it possible to setup the ring camera outside of the integration as an IP cam?
Yes you can cast lovelace or also a camera entity to your cast device with a screen. I assume Scott can already see his doorbell within Home Assistant by using the Ring Component. But i dont have a ring camera myself, so im not 100% sure what the component really supports in the end.
Ahh I see, I didn’t even think of that.
I was looking at the integration and it does not seem to support video streaming.
Thanks for looking into this. I’m thinking it will be easier to use Ring doorbell, setup a generic IP camera as mentioned above and having it cast to my Google display. I’m a total beginner with Node-Red, so that will some learning.
It looks like the dev kind of has it working in python. You might be able to get this working if you install Appdeamon and play around with it.
