## This app lets you add Ring Security products to your Homey. This app lets you add Ring Security products to your Homey as separate connected devices without using the Ring Alarm System itself.

## Ring Keypad and Heimdall integration Both the original **Ring Keypad** (V1) and the 2nd Generation **Ring Keypad** (V2) can easily be used with _ **Heimdall** _. No need to create flows! \* The first thing to do would be to create one or more users in _ **Heimdall** _. Open the _ **Heimdall** _ settings and select the **Users** tab to setup your users, more information can be found [here](https://community.homey.app/t/heimdall-let-homey-watch-over-your-home/134/1040). When the **Ring Keypad** is added the integration with _ **Heimdall** _ needs no further configuration, everything is ready to go. There are some settings for you to change to your likings. To change those or check the current settings go into the **Advanced Settings** of the **Ring Keypad**. Here you will find the **Integration settings** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/8/78b8fa2fd59037d639e57571f01c2835fd70e849.png) V1 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/5/558b50d1290f6c16e0828842c1bbfed2ded84297.png) V2 There is also a setting to enable or disable the **Tamper Alarm**. When you use the Ring Keypad with a constant power supply the **Tamper Alarm** will be activated when the power is lost. Reconnecting the power will deactivate the **Tamper Alarm**. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/c/fc64513ecf871a04ce9457e709a48dd5769426ad.png) V1 and V2 So, How to set the **Surveillance Mode**? Just enter the PIN you’ve configured in _ **Heimdall** _ and press the desired Mode. _ **Heimdall** _ wil perform the same actions it would when using the **Surveillance Mode Switch** , so when an **Arming Delay** is configured it will be used. The **Ring Keypad** will show an indicator counting down while an **Arming Delay** is active. When the **Surveillance Mode** is actually activated the led for that mode will briefly light up. To check the current **Surveillance Mode** push the **Enter** key on the **Ring Keypad** and the led on the active **Surveillance Mode** will briefly light up. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/6/862c7746d8e9bc7a95a565b01ea26be8be46da09.jpeg) The **Ring Keypad** checks its connection with Homey frequently, when it detects there is no connection the **Connection Indicator/Network Light** will light up Red (until the connection is back) The **Battery Indicator** will show the status of the battery and inform you when you will need to recharge it. When during _ **Heimdalls** _ **Pre-arming Check** it discovers an open door or windows or a motion sensor that is activated the **Pre-arming Check Indicator** will light up, it’s just an indication, Arming will resume. ![2019_device_keypad_front_wall_2048px-illustrated-for-help-center](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/a/8acdf687892a11388fc47a65e27b1d27b167a0b0.jpeg) 1. **Network light** - Only lights up during pairing or to indicate errors. If it’s red, there is a network communication failure. 2. **Battery light** - Indicates battery status. When off, there is plenty of battery power. Yellow means the battery is low, and Red means that the battery is very low. This light blinks green when charging. 3. **Police/Panic button** - Triggers the **Emergency Key pressed** flowcard with the tag value **POLICE** 4. **Fire** - Triggers the **Emergency Key pressed** flowcard with the tag value **FIRE** 5. **Medical** - Triggers the **Emergency Key pressed** flowcard with the tag value **ALERT\_MEDICAL** 6. **Motion sensor** - When power save mode is off, this sensor is used to detect motion near the Keypad and light up when needed. 7. **Disarmed Mode** - Enter your access code and press to disarm _ **Heimdall** _. 8. **Home Mode** - Enter your access code and press to change _ **Heimdalls** _ **Surveillance Mode** to **Partially Armed** 9. **Away Mode** - Enter your access code and press to change _ **Heimdalls** _ **Surveillance Mode** to **Armed** 10. **Light Bar** - Used to indicate remaining time during entry and exit delays. Use the **Emergency Key pressed** flowcard to make a flow that will be triggered when the **Police/Panic-** , **Fire-** or **Medical Button** is pressed and held. The tag on the flowcard will tell you what button is pressed, if you want to use specific actions per button use a condition card to determine what button was pressed, possible values are **POLICE** , **FIRE** or **ALERT\_MEDICAL** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9f1338e421b85d4fb9d0dd2856cdbac51e1fab8d.png) > \* The integration with Heimdall requires both apps to be installed from the App Store it will not work when running from the CLI due to missing API keys.

@Tangodelta I’m sorry, can’t make much of that, could you please transform that into a sentence so I can try to help you. @Xa4 Yes, that’s the whole idea of this app, adding support for the Ring Security devices without the need of the Ring Alarm Base station. The Ring Security devices are basicaly ‘just Z-Wave devices’ so can be connected on their own. ---

@DaneedeKruyff, I did some testing of the beta version and have a couple of questions: Today I use the Pop keypad and to arm I just push the “bell button” without pincode. Is this functionality possible to add for the Ring keypad as well? I mean, why add a pincode when arming??? Also, I found a fault. Can I feedback the fault in this forum or do you want them to be added in Github? ---

Hello Harald, Yes, please post faults/bugs in the [issue tracker on Github](https://github.com/daneedk/com.ring.security/issues). It is possible to change _ **Heimdalls** _ **Surveillance Mode** without entering a PIN like you do now with the Pop keypad. It will require flows like these: **Partially Arming** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2cabb6a48e0b580c8d2178806440344fa5402c12.png) **Arming** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/5/f5a3207d59ea37d1f97b3cc283ecefed92e8aefb.png) ---

I ordered the Ring Keypad v1 to (beta) test your Heimdall extension. Will let you know how it performs. @hluhr Adding a pincode for arming is a added value for me. Not everyone must be able to arm the security, and arming must be more than one keypress to prevent mistakes. ---

Ring keypad works perfectly! Also use it for other commands, like locking catflap, turn of sirens, Heimdall intergration is one thing, maybe now the most complete security system u can have. My security automations are now near 100% autonomous, facial recognition etc, ring keypads adds warning, logging and voice. (in addition to google TTS), instead of buttons it protects flows (kids). ---

@DaneedeKruyff thanks for a quick response. It was quite obvious when you explained it. @Heronimus, I can understand your point. However, we have been using this setup for one year without any mistakes. If you do a mistake, it is quite easy to quickly disarm again. Worst case scenario, the alarm will go off. Not the end of the world… The big security advantage with “one-click” arming is that it is less chance that you will reveal your pin for any house guests. ---

Yesterday i received the Ring keypad v1. Played with it some hours and must say I’m impressed about the possibilities and the Heimdall integration! Compliments! Till so far I haven’t found any tag WHO (dis)armed surveillance. I know it’s in the Heimdall loglines, but thats more text than a username only. Whould be nice if that info comes with tags in event “Surveillance Mode changed” ---

I agree with @Heronimus, also missing a username tag to know who armed/disarmed. [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/ring-security-extend-heimdall-with-ring-security-products/47287.md?page=2)
