Ring Doorbell "Camera Previews"

[pug306d (Dean)]

Any updates on this??

The Ring integration works properly.

[pug306d (Dean)]

Yes the integration is working ok but it only shows the last recorded event, I would prefer it shows that latest preview / snapshot image which is what this thread was discussing?

So sad about reading that there’s no way to see a live stream from the ring s cameras or doorbell… Their subscription plan for security and cloud is great but being not able to use their cameras on live view with HA makes me rethink about the cameras I need to use

I have a live feed of my Wyze cam in home assistant with a Picture Entity Card Configuration and my wyze camera as the entity and camera view(optional) set to live

[henry8866 (henry)]

Wyze Cam v2 - Home Assistant Review

Even though there is no proper integration for it yet, I went out and bought a Wyze Cam v2. This will be both a general review of the product, and from a Home Assistant perspective. So when you get the camera, setup is simple in the app. You sign in with a Wyze account or create one, then you click “add a device”, choose Wyze Cam v2, then you setup Wi-Fi credentials. Now a QR code appears on the screen, so you plug in the Wyze cam, and press the setup button on the bottom inside the stand thing.…

Let’s try to stay on topic for Ring this isnt a wyze feature request thread lol.

@balloob I’ve just updated to HA .110 and can now see my ring doorbell (with other cameras) in HomeKit. Whilst not perfect, that last snapshot image would be a huge step forward. Any news on how this is progressing?

I figured out my issue finally and it worked… immediately…

I have a rental property and my home covered.
To troubleshoot I added the rental property cameras and they all showed up perfect as they should. But 0 cameras from my home would function.

The new Ring Alarm Pro allowed me to setup local storage to an SD Card. When doing this I also enabled Video Storage Encryption on both local and cloud storage.

I removed the Cloud Storage Encryption and Local Storage and immediately got the previews back and no errors in the HA Log.

I have not tested which new Ring feature caused my issues yet but just went back in to my Ring Setup and re-enabled local Storage.

I will update if this causes my issue to come back.

If not, then troubleshooting would lead me to believe that the encrypted videos caused the issues.

So far, with both Local Storage and Encryption disabled my Lovelace cards have all been working for over 48 hours.

Hope this helps others!!!
I have been trying to figure this out for over a month and really did not feel like Ring API or HomeAssistant updates would break this function.
