Doorbot/Ring or Skybell integration

[Soda97]

 I have successfully integrated a doorbot/ring by using an old jb iphone with growlnotifier (forward to my email) + gmail notifier from this forum to trigger events like telling me someone is at the door or flash a hue light, etc.

if you have a better solution, please comment below.

I just wanna throw this out here so for people who have a smart doorbell dont have to wait for their open api or their integration to ifttt.  It doesnt sound like they are doing them anytime soon.

can you add some detail on how you achieved this, I have the ring doorbell also and would be interested.  Thanks

I don't know bout android but it probably works the same.

If you have an jailbroken iPhone, download growlnotifier (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AqbYGC5z-4I) to send notification to your pc.  Then you use growl on pc (http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/) to forward it to your gmail.  After that you can use this Python script (http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1679.0) to trigger event (I just found out there's a plug-in for) EventGhost which would send to VC to trigger event instantly, like it will tell you someone at the front door, mute your system and flash your hue light, etc.

Keep in mind that I set it to check email every 2 sec so it wI'll have 2~3 sec delay before it takes those actions.

It works with any notification from your phone so if you also have a smart lock (Kevo, August, danalock, okidokeys), then you can do the same thing and when you unlock your door it can welcome you (or a specific name whoever unlocks the door), un-arm your security alarm, un-away your thermostat, turn on some light and start playing music, etc.

I think it will be very cool for someone that has quite a few hue lights and wants to throw a surprise party!


Enjoy and Have fun!

If there any android developers on the forum could one of you check the source code for the ring doorbell app please, the app has a RECENT EVENTS section and I would love the url for it so that I can set it up for vox to tell me when I have a motion event at the front door or even to load up the url where my stored videos are.

The app must have the login url and digital vault url where videos stored from the new RING doorbell are stored. I would really love to work out the doorbells camera IP address because then I could just log into it and view through the camera like my other ip cameras but until they release that as a feature or an api that is a long way off.

The download link to the ring app for android is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ringapp

I seen a video on finding the source code to android apps but I don't have WinRAR.

Cheers in advance if anyone manages to find the url for the login url for the app and Recent Activity/Events within the app.
