I run a SolarEdge system at my place in Phoenix and have the monitoring side tied into my Universal Devices setup so I can see production and consumption in one place. I'm now looking at adding a couple of Ring cameras, possibly the drone and rover models, mainly for the backyard and the equipment area. What I'm trying to work out is whether it's worth trying to bring those cameras into the same automation flow, or whether I should just keep them in the Ring app and leave the SolarEdge side alone. The subscription side is a concern since I already pay for monitoring and don't want to stack too many recurring fees. I also don't know how reliable the motion triggers would be for something like this, or whether the integration would be more trouble than it's worth. Has anyone here connected Ring cameras to their Universal Devices setup alongside SolarEdge gear? Curious how you handled alerts and whether the fees felt justified.

I found this on the Ring drone and rover models: Ring Drone Cam and Rover Cam: price, release date, fees https://viewtime.net/news/ring-drone-cam-rover-cam-robotics-launch. It helps on the fee question, but I'm still unsure whether either model exposes enough to trigger my Universal Devices scenes, so I may keep them in the Ring app for now.

How do you connect your solaredge monitoring to Universal devices? I ask because solaredge just deprecated their v1 API and put limits on their free monitoring. I don’t have ring cameras but do have several Dahua cameras connected to my eisy.
