Version 2.10.24

  • Improved new ring-client-api

In this new app version an updated version of the ring-client-api is added. This does not yet fully fix the problem of not receiving notifications on Motion or Ring events but this does make it work longer then 24 hours after loggin at Ring or restart of the app after removing Homey from the authorised devices at Ring.
This will however not survive a restart of the Ring Doorbell an Cameras app.

When the app is restarted you will have to go through the following steps to get them working again:

  • In the official Ring App, go to the Control Center. This can be reached from the main menu, under the Account section. See this article if you are having trouble finding it
  • Click on Authorized Client Devices
  • You will now see a list of authorized devices on your account. The devices created by this App will be listed as android devices, with names like:
    • Homey
    • Device name not found or Homey-Auth-token
  • Now only remove the Homey device
  • After removing the device please stop and start the Ring Doorbell and Cameras app on your Homey
  • Notifications should now be working :crossed_fingers: :rocket:

Finally, there is some good news in regards to fixing the problem. It seems the root cause of the problem is discovered, how to fix it is now being looked into.
