WorksDoorbell press shows live video on Apple TV; motion possible but noisy; Scrypted recommended too
Saved copy
Yes, if you configure it correctly it will. I use homebridge and ring, its currently setup that if you ring the bell it shows up on Apple tv like it would in app on your phone or iPad. It can be setup for motion as well, but I think this would be more of a nuisance than anything when im trying to watch tv.

ScryptedWorksRing is cloud-based so slower; local cameras much better on Scrypted

Ring isn't great due to the cloud video round trip. Many of the core performance features are disabled. Local cameras are much better on Scrypted.

Partly worksDoorbell press and Alarm sensors work; camera motion events stopped working, several users confirm

This is so weird, I've had this working great for years but something in the past couple months has made the notifications for the Ring cameras stop working. The cameras still show up in Home app and load just fine but I no longer get notifications for motion detection at all and I've toggled them off and back on. I removed the child bridge for Ring. I even removed the Ring plugin altogether and reinstalled it and got a fresh login token. Now, I seem to have 1 of my cameras sending motion notifications and the others not. It is so weird. Any other ideas? 2 of these are just the Ring standup …

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
