cannemi Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Is anyone using this driver and what functionality does it really offer? Can you display who is on camera at front or any doors? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin L Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It is an event only driver at the current time. You get a programmable event for button presses and motion events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your driver status say? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin L Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Ring decided it would be fun to change something with motion and ding events yesterday. Please update to 1.8.5 We released it a few hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth_j Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you aren't getting events I can almost guarantee you're not on 1.8.5. Major, major improvements went into 1.8.4 both on the server and driver and one small edge case bug fixed in 1.8.5. We're super happy with how this is working now. Unfortunately, at C4's request, we haven't implemented an auto-update on our drivers so you'll have to do it manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybuch Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Looks like I am a bit behind, 1.8.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackWire has chosen to wait until a few things are in place by Control4 before enabling Ring video to ensure they experience is the best it can be. There is no ETA.

The other option was doorbid but I have read that there are some driver issues and doorbird is freaking expensive with the extras I would need so it was very unattractive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doorbell broke and I needed it to be replaced rather quickly. That and the fact that I can't get POE to the front door easily, the 2-wire POE adapter has to go somewhere, made get 2 Ring doorbells for now. I will do some major redecoration when the kids stop painting the walls and I will reconsider a DS2 setup with some wall-panels, the latter of which I don't have now.

Without starting another debate on the battle of the doorstations, compared to 4k they all suck. But doorstations at this very present moment aren't at that level yet. For a user with the need for a full intercom system within a c4 environment, the DS2 has more options than any of the others. It took a while but they finally got to the level we were expecting. Anyways, I don't like bashing product because there are many forum consequences that come with it. Long annoying debates. I've seen @blub's question asked many times by others about the Ring with the same answer, until @Kevin L came up with an interesting reply. I look forward to that.

I look forward to that. If had any Contrtol4 touchscreens and the time for POE cabling I had chosen the DS2. But for now Ring seems just fine for a 30 minute setup per door and no actual need for control4 integration - I don't even have door relay for remote opening anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
