neldua Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Ring doorbell driver for control4 would be useful and an inexpensive alternative to control4 doorbell. Ring.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK1 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The latest iOS update for Ring app states in the release notes support for Wink now added. Hopefully this can be incorporated by one of the Control4 Wink drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Cruz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi Guys, Any news about Ring's driver? I just bought Ring Video doorbell but couldn't link it with my HC-800... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You can't, they won't - don't bet on it ever happening. There's a driver, but it only allows for use of the doorbell press (and maybe motion?) not to use it as a doorstation for intercom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdepaola Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I wouldn't be so positive on that Cyk, my recent conversations with Ring have been considerably more positive. An announcement is planned soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfh Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 An announcement means squat. (See TiVo and Control4 announcement from January 2014 as an example). When a driver is actually available, I'll get excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would be happy to see both a Ring driver and a better TiVo driver. But till then, I'll wait on purchasing a Ring and be content with the current IP TiVo driver.

ILoveC4 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm excited about Ring, but I think I'm going to hold out for integration first. I at least want to be able to see the camera in Control4 and would love to be able to program off motion detection. Here's a question for those of you that have Ring. Does the Elk still detect a doorbell press when using Ring? I assume it would, but don't know for certain.

PapaSmurf74 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 No, but it's the exact same process of hooking up a generic lighted doorbell to an elk-930. There are plenty of discussions on this forum about how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggzlot Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just now, Cyknight said: You COULD get the DS2 doorstation could also get the Holovision set up with the Houselogix driver. Warning: HL is working out a few kinks on the driver, but when the dust settles, it is a very strong piece of equipment. Movable camera to get a good viewing angle, PoE camera, can see it in the navigator/C4 interface, doorstation proxy so you can use your touchscreens to talk to people The kinks are annoying - no doorbell and no ability to program off the press of the doorstation button. Two big oversights if you ask me. They say they are working on it. Stay tuned. If that gets fixed, its really a strong unit. And even better for those who want to replace the original C4 doorstation. You need a slightly larger back box, but since you already have the hole there, its easier to make bigger. If someone with the original c4 doorstation wanted a Ring or DoorBird, you would have some patching up to do and that is not easy with brick, vinyl, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ya, that would never happen. Too big and bulky, plus all the hoops to go through to actually get the integration I want. I'll wait until its built. Been waiting this long already, what's another 2 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't installed anything there particularly for the reasons you mention. i don't want to have to patch things up, etc. The Ring unit is about as big as I'm willing to go (not much room side-to-side on the trim boards where the wiring is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been waiting this long already, what's another 2 years or so i dont blame you, especially if you are limited on space. the holo unit is the same size as the C4 unit when it mounts, it just has more hardware so requires a bigger hole (which is still 100% covered obviously once mounted) And yes, I am not really thrilled with the doorbell/chime situation, but such is the pains when you Beta test something. how something gets released without a doorbell though, do not get me started....

Kevin L Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I am not sure who at Ring told you what but I am close to many people over there. There is no Control4 integration being worked on at all right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
