Would it be possible to use them with HA? They do not ship in me region (Quebec), therefore the price is quite high for me just for trying as I would need to buy them off ebay.
I found some implementation on GitHub (thanks to this forum) but they use the Ring hub, I would like to pair it directly with my Z-Wave USB/HA hub instead and avoid a proprietary box that connect to a third-party server.
Maybe this goes into the Hardware or Feature Request category though.
Would this be possible? Can any current owner run some tests?
On the z-wave website it says it’s z-wave plus. Also since it was released in 2018, it wouldn’t make much sense to make a unit not z-wave plus compliant.
Oops Looking at the spec sheet on z-wavealliance it seems that you are right. It is not Z-Wave Plus compliant but it supports S2. The z-wave website state it’s Z-Wave Plus on the description. Your best bet would be to try it or contact the z-wave alliance.
Depending on your regions, you can try to buy it from amazon, their return policy is exceptional. Also, if you try it or any other ring products (without the official hub) can you please post here the progress, compatibility and issues you encounter?
The latest OZW database file on GitHub lists no Ring devices so they will all show up as unknown.
The xml file from the z-wave alliance looks very useful though. It even has instructions for resetting the device.
Nice maybe you can try and make it? You 'll be the first one making a Ring device compatible. Fishwaldo on Discord told me it was quite easy to make one… you need to play with the xml a little and test it though.
I actually added it to mine. The Z-Wave Alliance listing has the device specific xml. I now need to try to use the device.
If I get some free time I am considering adding several Ring devices to the official configuration. I do not know how often HASS updates their configuration though. I know 0.89.2 does not have the latest OZW configuration.
Actually the configuration settings appear to be missing. I need to research this further. The settings are documented on the alliance site.
OK, I got the proper config values showing now. I an upgrading from 0.90.2 to 0.91.1 before testing further.
I needed to make an xml file to get the configuration values. I plan on submitting the config changes to openzwave when I am satisfied. I may choose to add other ring devices too.
I gave up on my Ring motion detector and was able to return it. I may have received a defective unit. I could see the burglar sensor when opened but could not get the motion sensor to trigger.
How do you set Ring devices in the mode where they can be added to HA? Usually after your Z-wave controller is set to include devices, you have to do something on the actual Z-Wave device.
Actually, the data sheet contradicts itself (?)
You can do that too
