Myself tried Ring amongst a selfmade solution w/ cam, mic, speaker and buzzer and ended up in buying Doorbird. It works flawlessly at home and offers - of course - besides the standard version a pro version of the software usage; with that it’s possible to store endless (?!) amount of foto and video captures on a server but you can - and that’s just great - also skip the pro version and use the basic one while recording onto your own NAS. Furthermore it integrates Smart Locks as Nuki etc pretty nice so I can open both, gate and door with one device. ---

Hi and welcome to the future. 🙂 What’s the purpose for which you’re considering to go to the paid Pro option? ---

Hey Stefan. You experienced problems connecting your Ring to homey. I have the same issue… Can you tell me what I do wrong? Eric ---

There was a slight problem with the new Ring API. The developer of the Ring app (@denniedegroot ) made the adjustments to the app and we now have to wait for the app to be approved by Athom. If u can’t wait for that u could download [the zip](https://github.com/denniedegroot/com.ring) and install it via [CLI](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli-install-method/198). ---

Hi Eric, To be honest, I don’t remember the steps I took. What I do know is that I skipped one or more steps, or did it differently from the instructions. When done in the right way, it succeeded. Stephan ---

Thanks for your swift responses guys. I think I’ll have to put my patience to the test over the holidays (and beyond?) and wait for Athom to approve the update… any idea how long this usually takes? ---

There is a little problem with publishing the app but Athom is looking into it. Should not take more then a copple of days normally. Btw, i have nothing to do with the app, that’s all the great work from @denniedegroot. Am just the messenger! ---

Do we have to add the device again, or will everything just start working again after the update? ---

Hm, installed through CLI and tested but no-go here. How are Ring-devices detected? Local or through the Ring-account? ---

So when a device is already added, and I try to install a device, that existing device will not show up anymore in the search? Because now I’m getting a time-out 30000ms when searching. And my existing device isn’t working. ---

2.1.3 from Github I’ll give some more info. - Noticed a couple of days ago that my light didn’t turn on when someone was at the door. Didn’t check it right away. - Saw the news about the hack, got a mail, enabled 2FA - Saw on Github it wasn’t supported, disabled it again - Discovered there was an issue since a couple of days with the app, figured that’s why my light didn’t turn on - Checked in the app, noticed my authorization was gone (probably because of the 2FA), fixed that - Saw the fix today for the app, installed it through CLI Was disappointed it didn’t work, came here to cry a little 😄 ---

Must say overhere it’s still working but i’ve seen some others where it doesn’t work yet. There is some peeps on Slack communicating with @denniedegroot about this with like sending over debug logs and stuff like that. Maybe we need to give him some time to fix things? ---

Ah, I’m not the only one. (I haven’t followed Slack in a long time). No stress, @denniedegroot can take all the time he wants, I’ll be very grateful if he can get it up and running again 🙂 ---

It was not working anymore here as well. I now start my flows using ring in ifttt. Works like a charm. So for now, that’s a good work around. And maybe, il keep it this way. ---

Not too much delay when going through IFTTT? I used their service a long time ago but wasn’t happy with the slow response times. ---

No real delay. Not more than with the ring app for homey… I think that the homey app also has no direct communication with the doorbell but with the ring server. but I’m not sure about that… ---

What about 2FA? Will it be support like on other platforms? (Homebridge for example) [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/ring-doorbell-v2/7010.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/ring-doorbell-v2/7010.md?page=3)
