This is a community app, it doesn’t work on Homey Cloud (if that’s what you mean by Bridge)

545

I apologize for not having specified all the details. No Homey Cloud, I meant the app for Homey Pro and Self. I’m new to the Homey world and am evaluating this platform to allow the various devices in my home automation system to communicate and create flows between them. I installed the Homey Self version on my Nuc and among all the projects in mind is to create an alarm system using Philips sensors and an alarm siren. I have a Homey Bridge to expand the connectivity of my Self (to connect Zigbee, Zwave, etc.). I purchased an Amazon Ring outdoor siren and would like to connect it via the Zvave protocol directly to the Homey bridge. I managed to pair it in Zwave, but it is configured as a generic Zwave device and doesn’t work. I can’t insert it or make it sound. If I understand correctly, the philosophy of this app is to integrate Ring devices directly into the Homey (no Cloud), and I wanted to see if it’s possible to do something for the outdoor siren.

Hi Fabio,

The siren is not supported in the app and I have no plans adding it due to time constraints.

I suggest to check compatibility of devices before you buy them to prevent disappointment.

Thanks for the reply!

I’ll try before I do the free return…

Thanks and Sayonara

Did you ever find a way to add your contact sensors?
I have the Ring Contact v2 and I get to the point where it tells me to push the pinhole and nothing happens. I’m using the Ring Security app.

I figured out how to add the Ring Contact Sensor V2.

In the onscreen instructions in the Ring Security app it tells you to push the pinhole button (in the battery compartment) but you actually just need to push the big button on front for 3 or more seconds. It did seem a little ridiculous having to open the battery compartment and get a paperclip to add a device!

Please reformat your post to make it readable, I can’t make anything of it.

Continuing the discussion from Ring Security - Extend Heimdall with Ring Security products:

553

Keypad V2 stopped working. Uninstalled both app (Ring security) and Keypad. Not able to re-install keypad now. Where can I find complete installation instructions? Instruction in Homey starts with pressing “1” for 3 seconds. Nothing happens?

Please advise.
