Hi. new to the community and HA. Recently set up my HA and love it so far. It has made my WEMO devices so much more stable!
Anyway, I tried searching the forum, and I wasn’t able to find anything similar to what I’m hoping to do. There are some discussions for how to integrate Ring alarm and cameras to HA, but I’m trying to get rid of my Ring devices, in particular, my doorbell Pro, and the one thing holding me back is that I love the sound of the Ring Chime.
From what I’ve read and researched, it’s nearly impossible to get to the camera feeds, and doing so still requires the Ring Connect Plan, which makes it a moot point for my situation. In my case, I don’t care about the camera feed, but what I do care about are the Ring Chimes. Since the Ring Chimes show up on the network as a device, would it be possible to use the Ring Chime with another brand video doorbell using HA as the bridge between the two? If the Ring Chimes could be added to HA, then perhaps it could be exposed to work and be triggered by another brand video doorbell. Also, this doesn’t involve any Ring camera video feeds, so I’m hoping that this might be possible to do WITHOUT the Ring Connect Plan. Appreciate and advice and info.
