Can you set features in Ring from Homey. When I go to bed I would like to enable certain Ring devices motion settings. ---

There are flow cards to enable and disable motion on the Ring device. ---

Great. Can you point me to them, or show some examples? ---

Apologies. I see them. ---

So I’m lucky, you do support the Ring Pro and the Stickup Cam that I have. I also have a an indoor cam, one of their latest, a small cylindrical device. It was added OK but I see that it comes up as incompatible for the snapshot so I’ll try and see if I can I can set/reset motion detection. Any idea if this device is likely to be supported in future? ---

You should ask the developer , @denniedegroot is the guy you need. Please have a look at his issue page of the ring app and see if the request isn’t already there: [https://github.com/denniedegroot/com.ring/issues](https://github.com/denniedegroot/com.ring/issues) ---

@denniedegroot I am trying to switch on my porch lights when there is motion on my Ring Pro doorbell at night. I have set up a test flow to simply send me a message when motion is turned on but it is not working. Should I send you a diagnostic report? I restart all my Apps every night, but I haven’t removed it and reinstalled. ![Screen Shot 2021-05-06 at 4.17.59 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/c/cc53ea9c0962adaab7873a1406979b0e893beac0.png) ---

Try making a flow that enables motion detection and run that. The motion feature is independent for each connection so just switching it on in the Ring app doesn’t enable it for Homey. [https://homey.app/f/A7Gv0B](https://homey.app/f/A7Gv0B) ---

Thanks. Did that but I get an error. Maybe I need to deauthorize and re-authourise the Ring App? ![Screen Shot 2021-05-06 at 5.58.31 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/1/7148d6da63cfa2d1d98164d86cb08620f8f1b2dd.png) ---

> [@Peter\_Bittner](#): > > Maybe I need to deauthorize and re-authourise the Ring App? Worth a try. I just double checked and the flow is still working for me. Maybe the error you see in the flow is also preventing the notification. ---

What is often do when I for example don’t get any pictures anymore is removing and adding my chime. It then reauthenticates. ---

Thanks for the tip. Do you mean remove your chime from the ring App, or from Homey?

As a device from homey. ---

OK, That worked, but I also ended up having to remove the front door Ring Pro and reading it. It now all works. Thanks for the help. ---

Well, it did work somewhat. Do you need to run the “enable motion” workflow again after a motion has been detected? or is it a time thing so you need to run it once an hour or so. When I enable motion it works when motion detected but then it doesn’t work the second time. ---

It should only be required once. I can’t remember the last time I had to run it as it was so long ago. ---
