Skybell HD
I was searching for a wifi doorbell and found the Skybell Hd.
I saw that it support IFTTT and alarm.com. So I taught maybe there are more people who searching for a wifi doorbell and if so, maybe Athom can ask for support for Homey.
Alarm.com is the first 3rd party partner that can show live video from skybell hd outside the skybell app.
Maybe Homey is the second?
Would be great if homey can show the video in the app or on tv with Chromecast
So who has interest?

I have camera's and doorbell running so then its expensive.
Anyway, it's a real cool thingie!

They have a new one Pro version
I'm only interested in having the actual pushing of the bell and the presense detection routed to homey, the video is already stored onto the ring servers..
I will contact them to see if they will provide an API,
will look into that
Wifi reception is very bad. Even with an access point close to the device (less than 2 meter).
And even when there is a connection, video quality is below par.
Advice: don't buy.
I've have a Ring Video Doorbell and installed 5 Rings and never had any problems what so ever.
My brother has a Skybell and also had never had any problems.
So I think you have a wireless network issue or what so ever.
The camera of Ring is a 720p camera and gives a good quality image. Also what the app and motion sensor is super quick!
So my advice, try for your self what works best for you
Just connected my Ring with IFTTT with homey works great (one for motion and one for ring)
Now trying to find a way to start live view on my TV / kodi or what ever will work

PC and Iphone are reacting much faster
Also I had to let RING change a setting to enable live view after 15 minutes I received an email it was changed and that it should work within one hour.
It seems in live view it is only showing/recording 1 minute at the moment hope this will be changeable in the future
Still trying to get my recording on my TV when someone rings
I have ordered the ring pro.
