Ring Integration

Configuration
1

Hello,

For those of you struggling with the integration and using motion as a trigger for lights or anything else…

After a coule of days of debugging I have found that the motion events were not getting pushed to HA if you have ‘Smart Alerts’ set up on the Ring App. No idea why this has broken since the change in the integration code to use event. rather than binary_sensor. but it did. Turn that off and HA will see the motion detection and you can use it as a trigger.

Here is the YAML for the trigger, adjust to suit your event.yourcamname_motion entity

alias: Driveway Lights on with Cam motion
description: \"\"
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: event.driveway_2_motion
    not_from:
      - unknown
      - unavailable
conditions:
  - condition: sun
    after: sunset
    before: sunrise
    enabled: false
actions:
  - data:
      message: \"It's working\"
      title: \"READ ME! Driveway Cam Motion Triggered!\"
    action: notify.persistent_notification
  - type: turn_on

Hope this help someone.
