August Smart Lock via Ring Alarm Z-Wave	Works	Tried with August lock connected to Ring Alarm hub via Z-Wave Saved copy The homebridge ring plugin does support z-wave locks that are connected to the alarm hub. I have tried it out with an August lock, but it should work with any z-wave lock. If you already have the alarm set up via homebridge ring, then all you have to do is connect the lock to the Ring alarm via the Ring app and then restart homebridge Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Ring Alarm	Works	Alarm automation works well in Homebridge; Z-Wave locks, outlets and switches paired to Ring also appear Saved copy So I recently bought the ring alarm and set it up in Homebridge and this works awesome. I mainly did this so I could automate my alarm as which my Smartthings hub allowed me to do. Then I found out you can pair certain zwave locks, outlets, and light switches. Once paired to ring they show up in my Home app. This is probably common knowledge but I'm jacked. The smartthings app is horrific and although the Home app needs some work its miles better.

Ring Alarm	Works	Arm/disarm/stay switch and all sensors exposed to HomeKit for automations Saved copy I use ring alarm. I have contact sensors on every single window and access door. I have the arm/disarm/stay switch in HomeKit. I also have all the sensors exposed and I use them daily on my automations. I also have the Aqara hub and sensors and it also shows in HomeKit as alarm. If you try to integrate different brand of sensors into ring with HomeKit I don’t think you would be able to. I do get notifications based on what I have set ie open office window or open back door etc Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2020-12

Ring Alarm and Ring Doorbell	Works	Arm/disarm and sensors work; doorbell video works but slow in Home app Saved copy Greetings all; I have a Ring Doorbell and a Ring Alarm system with sensors on the doors etc. I have the ring plugin setup in Homebridge, and it works. Can arm and disarm the alarm, I have an automation where when we get home at night and open the door the lights come on etc. The doorbell camera also works, but it's "slow" in the home app to bring up video etc. It does work though. I've been thinking of getting a couple of Wyze cams to put up, and have started looking at scrypted. Everyone says Scrypted is the best for Cameras and will use HKSV etc. My question is, when I use the homekit … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit thread · 2024-11
Ring alarm integration	Works	Commenter says Ring integration is seamless and a major reason for choosing Ring Saved copy The two biggest things I would miss if my Homebridge system went away are Ring integration and dummy switches. If Ring ever cut off access to HB, I’d probably just self-monitor through my Aqara sensors. The cameras aren’t really that big of a deal to me, as far as HK compatibility. For now, though, it is nice to tie my automations together, arming and disarming Ring via a combo of Home automations, Shortcuts, & Pushcut. These days, I rarely have to arm or disarm the security system- it all happens when I leave (connect to CarPlay when Home state is set) or arrive home (unlock my inner garage … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Ring Alarm system	Works	Ring plugin brings Alarm into Homebridge and on into Home Assistant Saved copy Right now I have the Ring plug-in bringing in my Ring Alarm System into Homebridge, which then brings it into Home Assistant. I would like to add multiple instances of the plug-in into Homebridge that way I can basically have Home Assistant be able to distinguish which user is disarming the system. Then whenever I share dashboards in Home Assist with people I can give them the respective instance, so when they disarm it on the dashboard (the dashboard that is thirs), it can send an alert through Home Assistant that says this person disarmed the alarm system, because it was disarmed using this … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Ring Alarm with integration box	Works	Plugin worked flawlessly for almost two years Saved copy I have the Ring Alarm - there’s a little integration box you can get that will tie into older security systems as well.

Ring Alarm with Retrofit Kit	Works	Retrofit kit connected wired sensors; plugin worked great without monitoring subscription Saved copy I lived in a house that had an old alarm system with wired sensors.

Ring camera	Works	Recognised by HomeKit via Homebridge easily Saved copy Hi, I've recently tried to migrate from Alexa (with inbuilt Zigbee) over to HomeKit. I've used Homebridge to help HomeKit recognise my Ring camera and TP link plugs - all very easy. But I can't understand what I need to do to connect to my Tradfri bulbs. I've never had a separate hub because the Alex Echo devise found the bulbs itself but I can't seem to find a plug-in that works for Homebridge.

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?

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.

Ring doorbell and floodlight cams	Works	Video pop-ups on Apple TV work for Ring via Homebridge Saved copy I'm still seeing it, using the latest Ring plugin (v9.23.0.) http://i.imgur.com/hvJjAXA.png But I've found it's no longer necessary with iOS 15 and tvOS 15, this functionality is now built in for any HomeKit-compatible cameras, even Ring floodlight cams that Homebridge has granted HomeKit compatibility to. So I disabled that checkbox in the plugin settings. I still get the motion alerts from cameras I choose as popups on the TV. And if you happen to be running HOOBS, you should migrate and upgrade to Homebridge. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2020-10

Ring Alarm Keypad	Partly works	Exposed only as keypad with battery and volume; built-in motion sensor not exposed Saved copy For me homebridge exposes the keypad as a keypad only (not motion device included) and in HomeKit I get not supported as a device type l.

Ring Alarm system	Partly works	Doorbell shows; base station and keypads appear as light bulbs Saved copy Any update here? I'm also new to Ring homebridge plugin and I installed it with the defaults, on my Home APP is shows my Ring Doorbell camera, but the rest of the alarm system is very odd. Base Station & Keypads show up as Light Bulbs Under the category of Other, there are three switches labeled Downstairs, I assume those might be sensors, however there is no information as to whether these are door sensors, window sensors? And it only shows three, which I have a lot more than that. Thoughts? Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2022-09
Ring camera	Partly works	Live view hit or miss; snapshots and motion fine; mesh network improved it Saved copy It’s hit or miss for me. At this point I generally only use it for motion detection and snapshots. That said, after I beefed up my home network by adding mesh routers all around, the failure rate has dropped and live feed usually connects very quickly.

Ring cameras	Partly works	Works on older macOS but ffmpeg needed for audio (installed manually) Saved copy 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 … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Ring cameras	Partly works	Plugin works via Ring API but HKSV not possible; use Scrypted for HKSV Saved copy 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. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2024-02

Ring cameras	Partly works	Streams but motion events unreliable; users use Scrypted instead Saved copy You can. But it’s pointless since the ring plug-in doesn’t detect motion events properly.

Ring cameras and doorbell	Partly works	Doorbell press and Alarm sensors work; camera motion events stopped working, several users confirm Saved copy 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.

Ring doorbell / cameras	Partly works	HKSV unlikely since video comes via Ring servers; live view only, no recording Saved copy Short answer for anyone too lazy to click, probably not. Per the developer Ring requires use of ring servers meaning the integration would be fairly slow and a poor experience. Second this would be an alternative to rings paid storage so ring may lash out.

I have motion automation enabled as well as the ability to view the video feeds. One of my Ring doorbells stopped working and I'm considering replacing it with a Nest doorbell. My live feed when there is a motion event, has always slow and my Wifi is great, and there is all the Ring news about privacy/neighbor issues with Ring.

Ring Video Doorbell B08CKHPP52	Partly works	Ring plugin worked for years but one user moved to Scrypted; mixed reports and unbridging broke one Saved copy I don't see why that one wouldn't work... I used the Ring plugin in Homebridge for a few years and although it worked, I recently started using Scrypted with the Ring doorbell instead. The Ring annual subscription price increase (again!) was the final straw for me. I only have one camera so the 50gb iCloud subscription is way cheaper than paying for the Ring plan.
