Hi,

I have a nice setup with Homey, some Klik Aan Klik Uit equipment, a Ring, a webcam, a Nas, Kodi, etc. There is just one thing I havent’t figured out yet and am wondering if it is possible.

When my a flow of my IP-Cam or Ring is triggered, a snapshot is taken with a tag. I can then send the image by phone notification of memail. But, for looking back in past events I would really like to also store the snapshots on my NAS.

My IP-Cam works with Surveillance station, but Ring is another story. So It would be nice if I could FTP/SMB/Webdav/NFS an image to my nas.

Is there an app for that? I have looked, searched and Googled, but cannot find anything.

Thanks guys (and girls).

Actually looking for the exact same thing.  
Any chance you found an app or workaround so far?

I’m afraid not. As far as I can tell there is no app support for nas/smb/ftp. But I also found that taking a snapshot from a Ring device is not reliable. It doesn’t work 60% of the time.

Three years later now. Has a solution to this problem already been found?

Have you tried the [FTP Client app](https://homey.app/a/nl.qluster-it.FtpClient/)?

That’s a good one! Didn’t know that existed. Go play with it tomorrow!

Hi  
Do you have any results on that?  
So far I am emailing me the snapshots but would prefer to send them to NAS.  
FTP is fine.

Hello Austriacus,

I don’t have the Ring anymore, so didn’t go further with experimenting.

Fellow Homey owners,

I use the mentioned ftp client to make 10 snapshots with 10 seconds delay and put them on my nas server. I use Homey script to make a tag filename with timestamp.jpg.

When the file is placed on my ftp server the filename has a space or a backslash at the end. I have an internal site that displays the snapshots but they are not shown because of the space or backslash. The Homey script output is ok but it seems that the flowcard adds a space. Is there something that can be done about this.

That’s a years old Homey bug (not app related);  
Use an advanced flow instead, then there’s no whitespace getting added.
