I don't know if Polyglot Cloud is being rebuilt, or if the node servers that only run on it, like Ring, will be ported to PG3.
CopyRon Posted May 27, 2022 Author Posted May 27, 2022 so this means if I migrate to IoP I won't be able to trigger from Ring motion?

The only Ring nodesever is Polyglot Cloud, which has been offline since February 14th. It doesn't matter, if you migrate or not. ISY994 or IoP doesn't matter... either way there is not a Ring node server. 2

jfai Posted May 28, 2022 Posted May 28, 2022 I've been using Ring cameras to detect motion and doorbell activation long before the Ring Node server was created on Polyglot Cloud. This method still works. 1. Add the “Ring” skill to Alexa and say “Alexa, discover devices”. This will list all Ring cameras and the video doorbells as Alexa devices. 2. Using the ISY Portal, expose an ISY state variable to Alexa as a light. An Alexa light device can be set to a specific percentage value, which sets the state variable to the percentage value. 3. Use Alexa routines to set the percentage value of the light device corresponding to actions on the cameras (motion at camera X, doorbell button press, ...). 4. Write ISY programs that use the state variable as trigger. 6 2
