get the Ring devices via MQTT add on to home assistant. It's been awhile since I did it but google that and you should find the info needed.

I've started home assistant on a raspberry p i4 and connected to Ring but no keypad or alarm status has appeared. I can see cams, Chimes, and sirens. I'll keep reading but I find little about ring alarm specifically. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

I did some reading and I didn't see where the ring alarm status could be monitored by ISY. Can you make an ISY scene/program run when ring alarm is armed?

As Ring is an alarm system I understand it's need for security and not opening up potential vulnerabilities by allowing other systems access but a "read only" status of system arm state would do wonders for home automation. Examples: 1) system is armed and goes into alarm -> ISY turns on all lights. 2) system goes from disarmed to armed -> ISY waits x min and then turns off all lights. 3) system is armed and goes into entry delay -> ISY turns on hall light near keypad. If we could just get a status only output of disarmed, home, away, entry delay, exit delay, and alarm it would both keep ring secure and allow so much more function of home automation!
