What good is Ring Doorbell integration

1

Not sure if I should post here or GitHub, but I’m starting to wonder what good the Ring integration is in HA. When there is motion detected, my Echo Show can bring up a live view of the (doorbell) camera so I can see who is at the door. This is, I believe, the main reason to have a Ring doorbell. Why can we not do something similar in HA? At best I can get the last previously recorded video to play, but not the current view. If Amazon can make it work, someone here should be able to as well.

I build my own, i haven’t included recordings (yet), but only use snapshot’s :yum:

Costed me €30,- (a lot cheaper then ring), and no subscription :face_with_monocle:

Super-nice! What are you using to connect the camera with HA?

OK…I found this:

Exactly what I was looking for. Works great!

UPDATE: Not so much. The “live” stream is sometimes as old as 3 days. A better solution is here

Do you know how to setup the live stream using this? Any step by step guides?

Thanks
