| Ring Alarm and doorbells | Works Cloud | Integrated alongside many brands in one HA setupSaved copy… really don’t need to choose. Buy what’s on sale as you go. I have Zooz, Inovelli, GE, TP-Link, IKEA light switches; IKEA, Sylvania, Sengled, OSRAM bulbs and strips; Ring Alarm and doorbells; ecobee and six room sensors; and much more. Shoot, I even have my PS4 integrated with HA. Like the other poster said, get yourself a zigbee/zwave stick. Beef up your Wi-Fi. Have fun with it.

| Ring contact sensor | Works | Works in Home Battery showed 0% in Home despite 100% in HA; reporter replaced sensors | Battery level mismatch reported; closed without confirmed fixSaved copyThe problem I have some Ring contact sensors with a 100% battery level (as reported in HomeAssistant). They are exported to homeKit as a binary sensor. The battery report in iOS Home for these sensors indicates 0% even though HomeAssistant has a 100% report. It looks like HomeAssistant is not properly setting the iOS / HomeKit battery level for intrusion sensors. Note that I also have some water sensors similarly exported as binary sensors, but for those, battery levels are properly reported to HomeKit. I would appreciate this being investigated / fixed. Thank you! ### What version of Home … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #100189 · 2023-09 |

It has a legacy bridge that allowed me to use my entire hard-wired suite of sensors and wireless ones if you need to add more. It integrates perfectly with Home Assistant for setting up notifications, etc. beyond those the Ring app provides, which are many.

| Ring wired doorbell and cameras via HomeKit | Partly works Cloud | Partly in Home Snapshot shows but live view says No Response | No stream_source set; maintainers suggest go2rtcSaved copyThe problem HomeKit doesn't show Ring live views (from either a wired doorbell and camera). Strangely, it works flawlessly in the Home Assistant dashboard. Logs from the HomeKit integration are showing "Camera has no stream source". I'm still able to view the last recorded image in HomeKit, but not the live feed (shows "No Response" eventually). The integration worked for a few hours after setting it up, then stopped working.

| Ring flood/freeze sensor | Not working Cloud | Stuck in a low temp state twice, making it uselessSaved copyIndoor Temp & Humidity Sensor. I'm looking for suggestions on a temperature & humidity sensor for my heated garage. I just want to be able to monitor the temperature and setup alerts if the temp gets below a certain point. I have a Ring alarm system and am using their flood/freeze sensor, but the one I have has now twice gotten stuck in a 'low temp' state, which makes it useless. Being able to see the actual temp would be nice. I'd prefer something that can connect directly to HA, and either plugs into an outlet (Canada) or has a long battery life.

| Ring Intercom Video camera | Requested Cloud | Camera support PR openSaved copyBreaking change None. ## Proposed change Adds camera support for Ring video intercom devices. Home Assistant currently creates Ring camera entities from the Ring library's video devices list. Ring Intercom Video devices are exposed by the Ring API as `other` devices with video capability, so this PR allows the Ring camera platform to create live-view camera entities for generic Ring devices that support video.
