It’s a bit of a workaround, but despite promising my partner not to make our new place smart I ended up buying one of these, and naturally wanted to enhance the functionality with HA.

Homebridge now supports the Ring Intercom, with the ability to detect rings, and unlock the door. You shouldn’t need an iOS device to configure it, just use the Homebridge Controller. If you do also want to use it with Homekit, you’ll need to “re-expose” the entities via HA’s native Homekit bridge.

I’ve paired HA to my Homebridge instance which is using the Ring Homebridge plugin, and it’s working great, with the ability to unlock the front door from Home Assistant as well as sound an additional doorbell sounder when the intercom buzzes (I sometimes get confused with my neigbour’s one going off)

More information about the current workaround for the integration in HomeAssistant can be found here:

It’s a pity that there is no reaction if it should be added directly to the integration in the future.

But it works really great.

Thank you @a5hs and @fritz_hh I’ve got this working now on a PiZeroW and I’ve got the intercom into HA - at least we have a workaround for now to get the data in.

Hi,
any news about Ring Intercom? Does it integrate well with Home Assistant?
I Have a BTicino EOS Intercom and it seems it is compatible with the device… it should be VERY useful to have that integrated into Home Assistant using the Ring: other ways of integration are way too “delicate” and complex since BTicino itself is pretty “closed”…

many thanks in advance for any info, bye!
