  • No you wont. RING doesn't contain an API. When browsing there forums I found that they might add this in de future but there is no chatter about a date anywhere. You could however use IFTTT if you want any kind of integration. Both Homey and Ring support that. I personally use this allready to notify Homey whenever there is a dooring.

  • I believe someone started working on a app based on an unofficial PHP API integration with the ring doorbell. So there might be an app but without guarantees that it will keep working, at lead until Ring decides to come with an official API. I emailed them about this and there reaction was that they where indeed thinking about it but it won't be there any time soon.

    I personally would not like to rely on IFTTT because of the show responses. (That's why I bought a Doorbird that does have an open API).
