Hi everyone,
I’m using the Ring integration in Home Assistant, and I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to force my Ring camera to capture a new snapshot on demand.
Right now, when I call the camera.snapshot action (Take Snapshot) on my Ring camera entity, it always saves the same cached still image instead of taking a new one. I understand Ring has some limitations with snapshot frequency, but I’d like to know:
Is there a way to trigger Ring to generate a fresh snapshot (for example, through the live view entity?
Are there workarounds to bypass the cached stills ?
My goal is to use these snapshots and have ChatGPT analyze them. Any advice, examples, or tips would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help.
