Current Ring integration does not provide a switch interface for the Ring Chime devices so that you can control / trigger the ding or motion sounds.
Today I’m required to run an instance of the HomeBridge Ring plugin which provides this capability, then I link HomeBridge to Home Assistant via the HomeKit Controller integration. Would love to see this capability integrated within HomeAssistant rather than having to rely on HomeBridge and the HomeKit Controller integration.
I’ve updated to 2022.6.1 and have tried reloading and reinstalling the Ring integration but my 2 Ring chimes are not appearing. Is there some manual configuration required?
Hi, my current door bell setting is a KNX push button, triggering a mp3 file played to my Sonos speaker. But that setup is quite unreliable, unfortunately.
My idea now is to buy a Ring chime and trigger it when the KNX push button is being pushed. Unfortunately, this thread ended abruptly, before anyone confirmed that it’s working with a switch entity for the chime to play a sound. Is it? Can anyone confirm, before I buy it?
Just to confirm - even it should be clear from the recent posts - it is indeed possible to “ring” a chime from HA via script / automation. You don’t need any other ring device, just the chime (and of course a ring account).
I’m now using a ring chime as my door bell, triggered by a simple KNX push button - and it works very great.
I may be being dense, but how do you fold the Ring Chime in to an automation?
I have a UniFi doorbell that has replaced a Ring unit, and want to continue to use the chime. I’ve set up an automation that has a doorbell press on the UniFi as the trigger, but I cannot figure out how to use the chime as the action.
I can trigger the chime by clicking the alarm button on the Device page, but that doesn’t seem available to me to add to the automation.
