Hello,

Thank you for this addon.
I have installed the token but I have this error and I can't access the cameras.

Can you help me?

Thanks for detailed steps, it was a breeze to follow but got stuck at the last one.

Where exactly in Home Assistant (which file or section) to add following:

{
"ring_refresh_token": your_refresh_token
}
Any pointers in README would be awesome!

Hello there,

First of all, thank you for this amazing add-on :)
It is one of the reason I moved my HomeAssistant configuration from Docker to a VM so I can use it.

It was working perfectly until the beginning of this week, the add-on doesn't start anymore and I have the following message inside the logs:

I tried the following actions but it still not working:

• re-install the add-on (Current version: 1.35)
• generate a new token
• make sure that the device name match the one defined in Ring Application.

Any idea where the issue might come from?

Thanks in advanced for your answer,

Tom

Hello and thanks for this amazing add-on

I've followed the installation and started the Ring Livestream. I've checked the refresh token many times and I've also opened the correct ports. But no live stream. I am new to programming and making everything work.

Maybe you could help me fix it.

I am unclear on what to sub for the xxxxxxxx in resource: "http://hassio.local:port/api/hassio/addons/xxxxxxxx_ringlivestream/info".

The description says "To get the 8 chars code "xxxxxxxx_ringlivestream" get them from the same URL." but that makes it sound like I need the xxxxxxxx to even get to the URL. Which URL? Can anyone clarify these instructions for me?

Also, I understand making the sensor and switch, but how do you actually toggle the switch? The add-on works great, but it is constantly running and, as pointed out in another issue, this stops me from getting motion notifications from Ring.

Thanks @jeroenterheerdt for your work on this!

Not sure why it doesn't want to install? (HassOS 3.8)

Hi @jeroenterheerdt
This docker seems all setup as per the instructions, however at start it throws the following and exits. I have failed to run this in the manual mode also, unfortunately.

I am testing this on a Synology DSM DS918+ - this might be the reason...but you can feel how close you are...ideas?

Hi,

Added this repo to the add-in store and hit the install button on the ring-hassio add in page.

Nothing, just spins its wheels for as long as you have patience for (I left it running for 10 mins..), no error messages in the logs or on screen.

Worse still, this totally bricked my HA install, everything stopped working, including those services working in other docker containers run by the HassOS supervisor. First time I've had to physically power off my system in 18 months...

Not sure why it won't install but it gives me this message:

Hi there,

I was finally able to get this installed but now I'm not getting motion notifications at all. I looked at my ring app history and noticed that it shows that live view is being accessed all the time which is preventing the notifications because it thinks someone is watching. Has anyone else came across this issue?

Thank you,
Kayla

Hey @jeroenterheerdt , thanks for the great work on the plugin. I'm currently trying it out with my ring doorbell 2 and it all seems to work, except that I always have a delay of +-10 seconds when viewing.

Steps tried:

1. I start the plugin
2. I open up home assistant with the camera feed (tried with VLC too, same effect)
3. I walk to my door, and all video has this 10s delay

When I watch the live feed with the official ring app, I don't have any delay (< 1s).

Do you experience the same?

Yesterday I implemented your repository into my Home Assistant.
Everything works fine. Every day I make a full snapshot.
Yesterday, before installation of your repository the full snapshot file was 16 Mb.
The snapshot today is 150 Mb!
Can you clarify this and eventually how to avoid this high disk usage

Hello, I have noticed that when I turn on the addon, the ring doorbell device does not communicate when someone presses the doorbell, I mean that at the HA level and in the ring app there is no notification of any kind until a few minutes have passed.
Sorry for my English, the google translator is helping me.

Everything works as in the addon starts and turns off and the file is created but its 0KB. If I delete the actual file it creates, sometimes it doesnt even create a new file for some reason but the addon is running

I have a delay of 8 seconds and also increased to 12 seconds to give the addon time to load. Thats too long as what ever may happen, would have happened but I understand the addon needs to load up. Am I missing something here ?

I have a CCTV camera too and that works no problems. Its just the Ring doorbell

Does anyone else have this issue or got around it ?

Thanks

I've installed the add-on and followed the installation.

I can get the stream to work on VLC, but I can't get it to work on the video streamer on HA. Also the on/off is not working, but that might be because of the stream not working. I didn't get an error.

I am getting the following error message
Repostitory structure for 1.3.7 is not compliant

Please advise

Possible to record on motion event negating the need for a subscription?

Hi,
Yesterday I was able to start and stop the add-on and after a start I received livestreams.
After start of the add-on today I got below log:

Hi,

Thank you for this great add-on, it is what I was looking for a long time!

I cannot seem to get it to work however. After starting the addon I get the following error:

[services.d] done.

The page linked doesn't exist, but after digging through the issues in the used library I found that Ring has enabled 2FA by default, and it should now work through an access token (see dgreif/ring#256 and https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Refresh-Tokens).
The only option in this add-on however is to input username and password.

How can I get it to work with the refresh tokens?

Hi i installed you addon, and followed the installation guide, and the settings seems to be working.
Because when i start the addon, and open web ui i can see the stream.

But the generic camera i setup in hass, is not working and not showing in the interface. settings for the camera:

platform: generic
name: Front door live
stream_source: http://***:3000/public/stream.m3u8
still_image_url: http://***:3000/public/stream.m3u8

When i check the log on has i do get a error.

Hi
I have just installed this addon on hassio and get the following errors:

Not sure if anyone else has the same problem? I am running on an arm instance so that shouldn't be an issue but do have 2fa enabled?

When I view my live stream, I'm getting an old view (as long ago as three days sometimes). I just started the service and viewed a car driving by 10 minutes ago. Now, every time I view, the same stream of that car going by plays. What is going on with this?

I installed everything according to the instructions on raspberry pi 4. I generated a token. I have defined a new camera as well. The broadcast transmission window starts but the broadcast is not available.

Any ideas?

You are currently on 6.1.1 which is way old. He fixed quite a few things with streaming that works in all home router setups. Mine was not able to work until I updated to the latest....FYI.

Hi
I want my Ring camera (battery) to report battery level and NOT wifi strength. How do I do this?

I have an unraid server with a Hassio VM. I installed ring-hassio in Supervisor Add-ons and configured it with a Refresh Token and I start it. All seems well except there is no stream in Web or in VLC. If i go to the /public/stream.m3u8 url I only see:

file not found: %s

Log only shows:

It repeats continuously from "Checking if..." all the way down to the err. If it matters I can load the camera in the ring app. I also did try removing and re-adding ring-hassio. Very new to HA so probably something I did :)

I saw your add-on and thought it can be improved using a setup that I have on my home assistant server.

It uses https://github.com/aler9/rtsp-simple-server which is an awesome golang based rtsp server / client in combination with https://github.com/dgreif/ring.

It supports on demand automatically and only uses one ring stream no matter how many clients connect, and by not using HLS and using only rtsp it avoids the 10 second minimum lag that HLS has.

My nodejs script that calls dgreif/ring forwards all its arguments to ffmpeg and looks like this

import { dirname } from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { readFile, writeFile } from 'fs/promises';
import ringClientApi from 'ring-client-api';

const CONFIG_PATH = process.env.CONFIG_PATH || '/etc/ring-ffmpeg.json';

async function updateSavedToken({ newRefreshToken, oldRefreshToken }) {
	console.log('Refresh Token Updated: ', newRefreshToken);
	if (!oldRefreshToken) return;
	const currentConfig = await readFile(CONFIG_PATH, 'utf8');
	const updatedConfig = currentConfig.replace(oldRefreshToken, newRefreshToken);
	await writeFile(CONFIG_PATH, updatedConfig);
}

const ffmpegArgs = { 
	audio: [], video: [],
	output: process.argv.slice(2),
};

async function main() {
	const { refreshToken, ffmpegPath } = JSON.parse(await readFile(CONFIG_PATH, 'utf8'));
	const ringApi = new ringClientApi.RingApi({ ffmpegPath, refreshToken });
	ringApi.onRefreshTokenUpdated.subscribe(updateSavedToken);
	const [camera] = await ringApi.getCameras();
	const session = await camera.createSipSession({ skipFfmpegCheck: true });
	await session.start(ffmpegArgs);
}

// handle exit signals
for (const signal of ['SIGINT','SIGTERM','SIGQUIT']) {
	process.on(signal, () => {
		console.log(`Received ${signal}, exiting...`);
		process.exit();
	});
}

main();

The script can be easily adapted to take in refreshToken from the environment instead of a file.

Then in rtsp-simple-server I take advantage of an option where it can launch on demand only when someone actually tries to request an rtsp stream and it will stop streaming as soon as all clients disconnect, it will also duplicate the stream if multiple connections are made, and so only one connection will be made to ring even if many connections are made to rtsp-simple-server. My config looks like this:

rtspDisable: no
protocols: [tcp]
rtspAddress: 127.0.0.1:8554

rtmpDisable: yes

hlsDisable: no
hlsAddress: 127.0.0.1:8888
hlsSegmentCount: 4
hlsSegmentDuration: 2s

paths:
  all:
    fallback:
    disablePublisherOverride: no

  ring:
    source: record
    runOnDemand: /usr/local/lib/ring-ffmpeg/index.mjs -acodec aac -vcodec copy -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$RTSP_PATH
    runOnDemandRestart: yes
    runOnDemandStartTimeout: 20s
    runOnDemandCloseAfter: 5s

The key part is that when using runOnDemand rtsp-simple-server will do the work of running the binary and closing it when home assistant disconnects, and it will dynamically open a port and tell the node script what port to send out to.

Combining these two items we can have a true on demand rtsp stream very easily.

This add on seems to use http.
my HA is secured with HTTPS inside and outside.
Does this interfere with the way livestream works as its an HTTP URL ?
any ways to update the stream URL to https ?
I see in the logs the following error

Error opening stream http://:3000/public/stream.m3u8

Logger: libav.tcp
Source: components/stream/worker.py:79
First occurred: 10:50:24 AM (10 occurrences)
Last logged: 11:41:57 AM

Connection to tcp://:3000 failed: Connection refused

Do i have to go back to using NGINX to use Reverse proxy and have secure access only from outside home and leave LAN on HTTP ?

How do HA users using this plugin, securely access the live stream ?

Ive built my own container based on your Dockerfile to run without HassIO. (modified to make options.json give the correct values in run.sh)

When running the server:

output directory: public/

Is there any way to increase logging?

This add on is great by the way. I can access ring doorbell streams successfully. I am trying to conserve the battery of the doorbell and the connection doesn't seem to close when home assistant stops viewing the stream. Looking at the logs the stream numbers just keeps increasing. Is there anyway to stop streaming and reopen upon new connection.

Thanks in Advance

I want to create a sensor to detect if the addon is active or not.
My HA runs in a VM with Debian, so my OS is Home Assistant OS 5.10.
I had a look to find the addon in the HA filestructure but couldn't find it.
The config folder has a subfolder 'addons' but this folder is empty

Hi There,

Thanks for the 1.3 update! Fixes the previous issue 👍

Can you help with more details on how to take screenshots?

Attempting to use the following creates a .m3u8 file into the .jpg file:

service: camera.snapshot
entity_id: [entityID]
filename: tmp/foo.jpg

foo.jpg:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:2
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:28
#EXTINF:2.000000,
stream28.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
stream29.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
stream30.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
stream31.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
stream32.ts
#EXTINF:2.000000,
stream33.ts

I am trying to mainly use the add-on to take screenshots and notify my devices of any rings, so this is key :)

Thank you!

I have managed to create a switch in the configuration as suggested under "Battery Conservation" section of the github README page.
I am now trying to record a stream by enabling the addon after motion is detected by the official Ring addon (via binary_sensor_front_motion).
If I create a single automation with following actions: <1> switch ring-hassio addon ON, <2>record mp4 file from the livestream, <3>switch ring-hassio OFF --> the automation does not seem to work and I never get <2> to record the stream. (it seems the ring-hassio addon does not get enabled by <1>)
If I run three separate automations <1>, followed by <2>, then <3>, I get my recording stored correctly, and with automation <3> the livestream gets correctly turned off, so that I can catch motions with the official Ring App.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to add any waits in the single automation?

I attempted to create the addon sensor with "platform:rest" in the configuration, after grabbing the [Long_Lived_Access_Token] from the (https://hassio.local:port/profile) page, as described in the README, but I cannot see any sensor after rebooting HA.
Having a sensor would help debugging the single automation.

What is the suggested image to build from? Can you add steps in the README for building the image and running container for those not using Hassio.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
the livestream works great in vlc or frontend, but I'm trying to add it to motioned but it says "non supported network camera". Checking on internet I found that it might be a problem of url: I need the mjpeg url instead of the normal one. Is there a way to find this mjpeg url?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello, I guess I'm too stupid. Use HA Hassoio, core-2021.4.4, supervisor-2021.03.9. How can I install the token update, including the missing programs?

I'have tried several times to install ring-hassio but it has been always unsuccessful...

Device RING Video Doorbell Elite
Can you please help me ?

Addon is running. Opening the URL in VLC shows the video stream. But when clicking on the camera in the UI it keeps showing the spinning wheel.

When inspecting the HTML this is the video part:

When I open the http piece in the browser I get a 404 not found error

This is the entry in my configuration.yaml

camera:

• platform: generic
  name: Ring Livestream
  stream_source: http://hassio.local:3000/public/stream.m3u8
  still_image_url: http://hassio.local:3000/public/stream.m3u8

I only got "file not found: %s" in my web browser when I try to access http://hassio.local:port/profile
If I try with https I get ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

implement turn_on / turn_off services (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/camera/)?
auto close setting: 15 minutes max?
card setting: click to enable image + on-click toggle or call service?

I have several ring security cameras in addition to the doorbell. This is working for the doorbell but can this be configured to support the security cameras also?

The referenced refresh token material in the readme now indicates that Ring added an expiry to the refresh tokens. It seems it is now required to continuously update the token and store the value locally. Can this functionality be added to this project?
