It works pretty reliably with Ring cameras and homebridge-ring

Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Hi! Just set up my first raspberry pi with homebridge and was able to set up the ring plug in with the camera working in HomeKit, but I tried to set up the Alexa plug in (which should give me access to two Schlage locks and 2 cameras), but when I bridged it to HomeKit nothing shows up. I also have access to the smart locks (Schlage) via the Ring app, but those don't show up in HomeKit either after bridging. Is there anything specific I need to do to overcome these issues? None of my Alexa devices are popping up in HomeKit. Thinking about setting up Home Assistant too, but I'm not a software …

… with Apple Home. I understand the concept how the plugins work, but don’t understand how to get some of them to work. So far I’ve successfully added my Ring cameras, Vivint security system and some of my plugs and switches. I’ve installed the Tuya plugin, established an account. But can’t see any of the non-matter plugs and switches. On a different note, I can see all of my devices in accessory tab, but not in Apple Home when I try to add them. Is there a more user friendly solution to adding devices to Apple Home, such as Home Assistant green? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Same here, with 6 Ring cams. Running MUCH better via Scrypted than they did via Homebridge.

I moved to scrypted and off rpi for few of these reasons. Scrypted supports hksv for ring and honestly works great. Love the fact that I have timeline now in home app for all my cams. Huge timesaver for watching/protecting my kids. The rpi couldn’t handle scrypted with anything else running.

This still might not be what you’re looking for but I just wanted to say I’ve been so much happier with my 6 Ring video feeds since switching from the homebridge-ring plugin and over to Scrypted and its support for HKSV. It’s running on the same Pi as my Homebridge server, right alongside the install, with the plugins for my other devices. Performance is just so much better, and the iCloud added features are such a welcome bonus. Linking up Scrypted supercharged these 6 Ring devices in a way I hadn’t expected. It’s excellent. https://github.com/koush/scrypted https://www.scrypted.app/

So I installed Homebridge in a VM on a spare workstation at home. I was able to get my Ring cameras to display but my Wyze cams only show up as switches? I assume I installed the wrong plugin to get the Wyze cams to work correctly. They are running current Wyze factory firmware. Do I have to flash them with RTSP firmware and then install another plugin? I have copies of the official Wyze RTSP firmware I found online but is it better to flash them with something else that supports RTSP? Is there a web link someone can share that is still good that really walks me through all of this as I am a …

… I resolved the issue by uninstalling and then reinstalling the plugin. A bit of a pain, but it’s all working now. Note: I had to uncheck the “unbridge cameras” setting, restart, turn the setting back on, restart to get my cameras to connect properly

I only use it to make non HomeKit devices HomeKit compatible. Works great for ring cameras as an example. Also to create dummy switches to create automations. Other than that I just try to stick with HomeKit enabled devices and run them natively

FYI I also have Ring cameras on the same Scrypted server as well, and they seamlessly fall into my homekit also.

Speaking from personal experience... if you want to integrate Ring cameras in HomeKit, you want Scrypted.

Did the iOS upgrades. Upgraded the architecture. The Ring cameras (Ring bridge on HOOBS) seemed to be working fine as the snapshots were current and updating, but live stream was not working. I tried unlinking my account and re-linking it, but nothing changed. Now, I discover that it crashes the plug-in and restarts it each time I click on a camera for a live feed. 12/20/2022, 4:43:22 PMRing BridgeERRORError: Cannot get schema for 'EcDsaSignature' target at AsnSchemaStorage.get …

I am having the same problem - 2 of my cameras still work but 1 is "not responding". All the cameras work in the native Ring App though

So I setup Homebridge on an older mac running macOs 11.6.5. I tried installing the Ring plugin and it mostly worked except for the fact that it couldn't find ffmpeg so I had no sound on any of my feeds. It took me a little while to realize what the problem is and how to resolve it. I wanted to share my notes incase anyone else using an older Mac runs into the same issues. There are four ways to install FFMPEG that I know of: 1. homebrew [code] 2. macports [code] 3. static build download from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-mac 4. build from source code [code] And thats the order that I …

I remember reading that the developer of the current plugin asked someone at Ring about this. Basically, they allow the current usage of APIs but would absolutely block everything if they tried to utilize HKSV. Essentially, what you want is never going to happen. You should migrate to a non subscription camera system.

Yeah ffmpeg enoent is an issue where ffmpeg does not install alongside the plugin. I had this issue when I moved my setup to Mac. Uninstall the plugin and reinstall it, the logs will probably say you need to do something, open up a terminal and type what is says. If you’re on Mac try brew install ffmpeg

Faster and support HKSV for Ring

Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

You can. But it’s pointless since the ring plug-in doesn’t detect motion events properly. But you can see the video stream if this is what you want. I needed motion detection so I bring them into HomeKit with Scrypted.

I currently have a hoobs for my homekit setup. I use it for Nest thermostats and devices, Ring cameras (8 cameras - 5 I really only need in HomeKit) and alarm system, Goove lights and iRobot. I am having such a hard time with getting my ring to run like it use to with notifications on my tv and phone. I can stream the video if I click on the cameras on my tv or my phone but I can’t get notified. I also can’t stand the slowness of the response of the cameras. (I bought hoobs to see how it would all work a while ago. I think it’s time to upgrade and start over). I want to run scripted so I know …

I recommend Scrypted over Homebridge for Ring nowadays, not only does it provide faster, more reliable HomeKit, it also offers HomeKit Secure Video, for people/package detection as well as integration with iCloud storage. https://github.com/koush/scrypted https://www.scrypted.app

Hi all! Okay, so, at some point, I had everything set up all nice and tidy(ish) running Homebridge on my Synology with my Ring setup. I could see all my sensors, including my cameras, on the Home app. Now, I can see the sensors, but the cameras no longer show up. I'm running Homebridge v2.0.0-beta.80, Homebridge UI v5.20.0, the Ring plugin v14.3.0, and Homebridge Dummy v1.3.3-color-led-2. I try to "add accessory" in the Home app, the cameras don't show up. I looked for "unbridge cameras" in the Ring config, but it's not there. I've deleted and reinstalled all devices and bridges in the Home …

Have you had any luck with Ring and HomeBridge connecting?
