Ring Integration-Trying to add start recording service to integration

MacGyver33 · February 16, 2020, 6:09pm

I am trying to add an implementation of the start record method in the Ring Python library into the Ring HA integration and I am having trouble retrieving the Ring camera by entity_id passed in from the service call. Here is my code so far from my fork:

https://github.com/JoeDaddy7105/home-assistant/blob/09aee55d1934234dc06adc7027312c11007e5321/homeassistant/components/ring/init.py#L144-L148

Here is the method call from the Ring Python library I am trying to trigger:

tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell/blob/b579e5e8ab3df05f5eeaa49712012850e3f7f405/ring_doorbell/doorbot.py#L274-L285


@property
def live_streaming_json(self):
    """Return JSON for live streaming."""
    url = API_URI + LIVE_STREAMING_ENDPOINT.format(self.account_id)
    req = self._ring.query(url, method='POST')
    if req and req.status_code == 204:
        url = API_URI + DINGS_ENDPOINT
        try:
            return self._ring.query(url).json()[0]
        except (IndexError, TypeError):
            pass
    return None

I am just looking to trigger recording on a camera. My plan is to add an Automation that triggers recording on a specific camera when a door sensor triggers. I also want to add another service to trigger a snapshot update and then grab the latest snapshot from a specific camera and then add that to the above automation to attach the snapshot to a notification or email when the same door sensor is triggered. Here is the snapshot feature from the Ring Python library which I was planning to implement in a similar way as a service if I can get the Ring camera object by entity_id:

def get_snapshot(self, retries=3, delay=1):
    """Take a snapshot and download it"""
    url = API_URI + SNAPSHOT_TIMESTAMP_ENDPOINT
    payload = {"doorbot_ids": [self._attrs.get('id')]}
    self._ring.query(url)
    request_time = time.time()
    for _ in range(retries):
        time.sleep(delay)
        response = self._ring.query(
            url, method="POST", json=payload
        ).json()
        if response["timestamps"][0]["timestamp"] / 1000 > request_time:
            return self._ring.query(
                API_URI + SNAPSHOT_ENDPOINT.format(self._attrs.get('id'))
            ).content
    return False

How do I get the Ring camera by entity_id? Is this the right approach to add these as services in init.py?

My main issue is this line to get the camera entity from the entity_id provided by the service call:

camera = hass.data[DOMAIN][entity_id]

What is the proper syntax to get the camera entities from the hass.data with a given entity_id?
