anon2828 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Q: What is the best Ring driver for Control4 - my understanding is that there is more than one. For those that remember, on another thread I/we were debating Conrtrol4 DoorStation 2 versus Ring Elite. I went with Ring Elite. So far I like the video quality and the app. Companies like Control4 (with their DoorStation and Intercom Anywhere) SnapAV / Luma should think seriously about making their app more like Ring in terms of showing a list of events and events. Super easy in Ring to go back to where someone hit the doorbell or where motion was picked up and watch the video of them. Also like being able to make the existing Amazon Echo devices in the home act as chimes and ability to quickly bring up video at front door on an Echo Show device. I'm now looking to do some events off of the button push on the Ring. Not sure that I care a lot about motion, but who knows. Is there any way possible to make the Ring video come up on any of the TVs? I remember the answer being no because their API doesn't allow access to the video stream...

msgreenf Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 There is only one ring events driver. That is from blackwire design. It doesn't support video. Only events. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk LollerAgent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullseye Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Reviving the issue. With the new changes in the intercom, do we have any chance of getting a more complete driver for the ring video dorbell? Or are the hope of some video integration gone?

alanchow Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 At this stage there is no improvements. There is only one dedicated Ring driver made by Blackwire (Seth did a fantastic job on it). You can also utilise our IFTTT Maker driver for Ring as well (which is what i'm doing for my home). Both of which offer the doorbell detection and motion detection.

This isn't going to be possible until Ring exposes video via RTSP. Don't really see this happening anytime soon, since they make money on their cloud streaming service.

Control4 is why the video integration currently does not work. They are aware of what is needed to make video work.

Yes in fact they are secret, require a massive amount of security and authorization to use and change multiple of times per day. So..

So.. No.. I am sure someone will say I am wrong but getting Ring to work with Control4 should be a top priority for the company (Control4) right now.

msgreenf Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 For which company? Cause Amazon don't care about Control4 integration. It take 2 to tango. AnOutsider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Cause pretty sure the Alexa ring volume is higher then anything control4 could match. So why should Amazon care? AnOutsider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't a distributor for Ring (that I am aware of). Not saying I wouldn't personally love it and find it useful but just trying to think of all the motivation to make changes like this...

therockhr Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Just curious to see if anything has happened on this recently. I have noticed that Roomie Remote offers Ring integration https://roomieremote.com/60whatsnew/ Last word in this thread was that Blackwire and Ring knew what needed to be done and that it was in Control4's hands to help.

mstafford388 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 That is still the case. C4 needs to make changes and from what I've heard they aren't that concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
