Ring Doorbell

Jer78 · December 5, 2017, 9:26pm

If anyone is interested, here’s some template sensors which displays the day and time, not just the time of both ring and motion.

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      last_motion:
        value_template: >-
          {% set today = now().day | int %}
          {% set motion_date = (((as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at)) | timestamp_custom("%d")) | int) %}
          {% if today == motion_date %}
            {% set day = "Today" %}
          {% elif (today - 1) == motion_date %}
            {% set day = "Yesterday" %}
          {% elif today == 1 and motion_date > 27 %}
            {% set day = "Yesterday" %}
          {% else %}
            {% set day = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom("%A")%}
          {% endif %}
          {% set time = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom("%l:%M %p")%}
          {{[day,time]|join(" at ")}}
      last_ring:
        value_template: >-
          {% set today = now().day | int %}
          {% set ring_date = (((as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_ding.attributes.created_at)) | timestamp_custom("%d")) | int) %}
          {% if today == ring_date %}
            {% set day = "Today" %}
          {% elif (today - 1) == ring_date %}
            {% set day = "Yesterday" %}
          {% elif today == 1 and ring_date > 27 %}
            {% set day = "Yesterday" %}
          {% else %}
            {% set day = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_ding.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom("%A")%}
          {% endif %}
          {% set time = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_ding.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom("%l:%M %p")%}
          {{[day,time]|join(" at ")}}

i decided to try to add my ring to my HASS install today…but it just isn’t working. nothing in the logs, no sensors…nothing works. any ideas? i’m on 0.45.1. here are the relevant lines in my config:

sensor:
  - platform: ring

ring:
  username: 'myringemail'
  password: 'mypass'

i’ve tried both sensor and binary_sensor…neither one works.

edit: nevermind, apparently the monitored_conditions is not optional as the docs state. added that and it seems to work now.

firstof9 · December 7, 2017, 4:24pm

monitored_conditions is optional in the latest version of HASS.

crackers8199 · December 7, 2017, 5:48pm

that explains it. i’m using an older version as i mentioned…haven’t gotten around to upgrading yet.

Michael_Grossman · December 15, 2017, 9:17pm

I’m kind of new at this, where would I insert this to make it work with my system. I tried putting it in the configuration.yaml but I get an error that last_motion and last_ring components can’t be found. How do I define these two?

Jer78 · December 16, 2017, 3:04pm

@Michael_Grossman as I mentioned, it’s a template sensor so you have to put it in that area like this…

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:

I edited my post for clarity.

GervaisdeM · December 16, 2017, 4:08pm

@Michael_Grossman this would work:

 sensor:
  - platform: ring
    monitored_conditions:
      - last_activity
      - last_ding
      - last_motion
      - volume
      - wifi_signal_category
      - wifi_signal_strength

Jer78 · December 19, 2017, 3:56am

@tchellomello I’m still seeing the image not available error. Was this supposed to be fixed with 0.60? Wondering why it’s still happening. Thanks

cdikland · December 19, 2017, 7:32pm

I dont know why none of my sensors appear. I am using an examples I copied from posts above. Specifically:

ring:
    username: [email protected]
    password:  **********
binary_sensor:
  - platform: ring
    monitored_conditions:
      - ding
      - motion

sensor:
  - platform: ring
    monitored_conditions:
      - battery
      - last_activity
      - last_ding
      - last_motion
      - volume

The only thing that shows up are the binary sensors (ding and motion) What am I missing??

Even tried putting everything in a group. Same results. Just binary sensors showing

  ringdoorbell:
    name: Ring Doorbell
    entities:
    - binary_sensor.ring_front_door_motion
    - binary_sensor.ring_front_door_ding
    - sensor.ring_front_door_last_activity

Hello @Jer78,
Sorry this is not fixed yet.
Work, college and daughter has kept me busy.
I’m finishing a potential fix and hopefully I post the PR by the end of the week.

Jer78 · December 20, 2017, 6:20am

@tchellomello No worries. I must have confused with another component that had a fix for 0.60. I appreciate all your hard work on this project and happy to wait patiently.

ScottSuine · January 10, 2018, 12:05pm

HI,
Just noticed this in my HA Log. I looked back and it has only started happening int he last few days. Prior to that Ring Binary sensor was working well and trigger some automation. But that has stopped working. Was this a change on Rings API?
The IOS app works fine so I know my credentials are good

I am facing same issue. Did anything change to Ring API?

rparikian · February 13, 2018, 9:12pm

Jer78:

platform: template
sensors:
last_motion:
value_template: >-
{% set today = now().day | int %}
{% set motion_date = (((as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at)) | timestamp_custom(“%d”)) | int) %}
{% if today == motion_date %}
{% set day = “Today” %}
{% elif (today - 1) == motion_date %}
{% set day = “Yesterday” %}
{% elif today == 1 and motion_date > 27 %}
{% set day = “Yesterday” %}
{% else %}
{% set day = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom(“%A”)%}
{% endif %}
{% set time = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom(“%l:%M %p”)%}

{{[day,time]|join(" at ")}}

I was able to get it to show up but it wont display the values. Just says “Today At”. Verified that my door bell has the same name as yours.

rparikian · February 13, 2018, 9:14pm

@tchellomello

Has the Ring component been fixed yet? Still getting errors in the log about timeouts and too many connections. Just wondering if its just me.

Thank you for all your efforts.

Jer78 · February 14, 2018, 12:00am

@rparikian that’s odd. Can you check you ring sensors to make sure the attributes are showing the timestamps correctly?

rparikian · February 14, 2018, 12:18am

The default sensors show the time stamps correctly.

Here is what i added. Did i get it right?

platform: template
sensors:
last_motion:
value_template: >-
{% set today = now().day | int %}
{% set motion_date = (((as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at)) | timestamp_custom("%d")) | int) %}
{% if today == motion_date %}
{% set day = “Today” %}
{% elif (today - 1) == motion_date %}
{% set day = “Yesterday” %}
{% elif today == 1 and motion_date > 27 %}
{% set day = “Yesterday” %}
{% else %}
{% set day = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom("%A")%}
{% endif %}
{% set time = as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_motion.attributes.created_at) | timestamp_custom("%l:%M %p")%}
{{[day,time]|join(" at “)}}
last_ring:
value_template: >-
{% set today = now().day | int %}
{% set ring_date = (((as_timestamp(states.sensor.ring_front_door_last_ding.attributes.created_at)) | timestamp_custom(”%d")) | int) %}
{% if today == ring_date %}
{% set day = “Today” %}
{% elif (today - 1) == ring_date %}
{% set day = “Yesterday” %}
{% elif today == 1 and ring_date > 27 %}
{% set day = “Yesterday” %}
{% else %}

Jer78 · February 14, 2018, 4:26am

@rparikian It’s hard to see when the code is not formatted properly. Can you use the </> in the toolbar please?

chenchen119 · February 28, 2018, 8:51am

timestamp_custom("%l:%M %p")

should be changed to

timestamp_custom("%I:%M %p")

chenchen119 · February 28, 2018, 8:51am

Hassio 0.63.3. My logs are still constantly spammed by this. Not sure how to set the interval longer under the sensors: and binary_sensors:.

Updating ring sensor took longer than the scheduled update interval 0:00:30
