Ring-mqtt automation with doorbell trouble getting snapshot on time

Third party integrations
1

Hello new to home assistant just been messing with it two days. I would like to have an automation that takes a snapshot when someone triggers the motion. What this does is turns on the streaming, I thought it would help with the delay in the photo, not sure. Anyways I turn on the stream, then press the snapshot button, then do service snapshot. I don’t know if these two are the same thing but what I have noticed is the photo saved by the camera.snapshot is the previous motion snapshot. Anyone got a good automation for a ring door bell with ring-mqtt, or can spot what am I doing wrong?

From the wiki. Does this apply?

Q) Why am I unable to get motion snapshots from my camera
A) The most likely cause of this behavior is use with a “low-power” mode camera. These cameras cannot take a snapshot while recording and, since a motion event generally starts a recording, it’s not possible to retrieve a snapshot after the motion event has been detected. Because of this, ring-mqtt attempts to use the image UUID included in the push notification to retrieve the notification snapshot (the same snapshot used in rich notifications on the Ring app) for motion events, however, this feature requires at least the basic Ring Protect Plan subscription. If the account has no subscription, or Rich Notifications have not been enabled for the device, then ring-mqtt will not be able to retrieve a snapshot image on motion.
