paulbates Posted January 3 Posted January 3 There's an older ring doorbell on my house. I do have a login and my account has ownership of the device, and I see live images and motion. It does its job as doorbell and proximity sensor and the grandkids have finally stopped pressing it every 12 seconds 🤪 I tried the trial plugin. I get 2 nodes, Doorbell panel says its online and has battery info that appears correct Doorbell motion panel is completely blank, no fields or controls It has motion capability, I set up the zones and tested. In addition to creating a battery alert, I want to turn on premise lighting when there's motion in the zone Any ideas? I don't have a plan or subscription, just an account with access to all the features.

I'm not sure if it's needed, but could be. The plugin has to authenticate with the Ring service. I've never attempted without an active Ring subscription. One of the release notes though indicates this: Quote 1.1.2 07/05/2023 Enhanced error handling when nodeserver is not yet linked to a Ring account So might be a requirement. Maybe just an account...not an actual Ring subscription. 19 minutes ago, paulbates said: Doorbell motion panel is completely blank, no fields or controls This is normal. It's the same for my doorbell pro "motion" node. My floodlight cam has information on the Motion, but the "lights" node is blank on that device.  My motion program triggers for middle of the night motion runs as expected.   ~Door-Motion - If     '~NodeServers / ~Ring / ~FDoor (Motion)' is switched Motion   And From   11:50:00PM     To    Sunrise - 60 minutes (next day)  Then     Set '~NodeServers / ~Hue / Couch' On     Wait  5 minutes     Set '~NodeServers / ~Hue / Couch' Off  Else   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')    1
paulbates Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 (edited) Thanks Geddy, it was located in the device tree under switched.. and your program is very similar to what I am wanting to accomplish! Â (Edit I see other people mark posts as solution which I'd like to do with yours... but can't find the forum control to do so) Edited January 4 by paulbates 1
paulbates Posted January 4 Author Posted January 4 After using the ring app to more tightly define the zone, this works greatl and I bought the plugin 2
