midrar Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I have a Ring elite doorbell and just installed the Ring nodeserver. I only see 2 nodes that were installed. One for battery health and the second for motion. What about actual press of the pushbotton on the doorbell? Shouldn't that be a ring or am I missing it? Link to comment
Solution Goose66 Posted December 11, 2023 Solution Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) The node “Front Door” should generate a DON command on button press. It shows up in programs as “Ding” command. It is supposed to be able to drop into scenes as a controller. Edited December 11, 2023 by Goose66 1 Link to comment
Goose66 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 All that said, my Ring node server is not working - not generating events. It has been messed up for some time. Hopefully you will have better results. Link to comment
Geddy Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 @midrar 2 nodes seems right. I have a Ring Doorbell Pro and only have the same as you. I have a program that when it dings will turn lights on. If you make a program use "Control" and your doorbell will show up and then you should get a "Ding" option. 4 hours ago, Goose66 said: It has been messed up for some time. Hopefully you will have better results. Your comment made me think about mine because I recalled that I had a ring a few days ago and events did not happen as expected. Indeed, my program was not triggering. Check on the UD Portal and see if your remote connection is active. Mine was "NO". I figured that might have been my issue and then pressed "Reconfigure" and after a moment "Refresh" and it went to "Yes". After that was yes I tested my doorbell and the "Ding" program triggered as expected. @Goose66 see if your portal is showing "No" for the active line. Just for reference the last time my "Ding" program had triggered was December 4th (based on the summary tab). I've had several dings since then so know it hasn't been working for about a week.

Did the Reconfigure, and after about a half an hour or so (the Polisy rebooted), it switched to "YES" and now I am getting events from Ring. It's been a while since this has worked, so the change must have taken place a while back. I wasn't fully understanding the significance of this setting and wasn't aware of the requirement for the Ring node server. But I did look and see that it is in the UD Developer documentation here: https://developer.isy.io/docs/API/pg/Webhooks Looks like not until PG3x, however, which doesn't make a lot of sense. But oh well, it works now so all good. Thanks for the tip! 1 Link to comment
midrar Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 That worked. As soon as I went into program, I was able to see the option for Ding. Thanks for the help guys. Link to comment
TUhl01 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) My Remote Connection Access was set to NO. Reconfigured and all 3 parameters were YES. The Ring Test now shows SUCCESS. However, still not getting a motion event in my program. Also, restarted a few times. Edited December 17, 2023 by TUhl01 Link to comment
Geddy Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 @TUhl01 since you have another thread about that issue I'm closing this one since the original question was resolved. Link to comment
