How to: Fix notifications

There does indeed seem to be something going on at Ring resulting in notifications not being sent to devices (other than the official Ring Smartphone app)

If you are not receiving these events, or they are only working sporadically, the steps below should help.

Steps to fix notifications

  • 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. You should remove all devices associated with the Ring Doorbell and Cameras App. The devices created by this App will be listed as android devices, with names like:
    • Homey
    • Homey-Auth-token (This one will only exist after a restart off the app)
  • Once you have removed the devices, you will need to re-authenticate at Ring
  • Restart the Ring Doorbell and Cameras App on your Homey
  • Go into any of your Ring devices and re-authenticate by clicking Try to Repair and logon.
  • Notifications should now be working :crossed_fingers: :rocket:
