You are lucky as i have not been able to connect the Ring at all. I love the Ring product and know many that purchased on since i have. In my case i only need the motion and door bell part. I have other cameras that can pickup the feed. The big thing is outside motion sensor, you can have lights go on or etc.

My problem was the xfinity router set to medium security. Dropped it to low and chime and doorbell worked like a champ.
Check the firewall logs, I saw my request get dropped.
I’m sorry, but the factory cannot integrate a device half way, that is why we support the developer community; so that users can add the functionality that they want or need when we cannot.[/quote]
Hi Marc
Is there a door station device with video/audio feed supported by Vera yet? Seems a pretty core requirement for every home automation and I would like to purchase something that is easily integrated with Vera for motion trigger, button trigger and video feed if possible?
Ring door bell +Wink Hub+Vera plug-in work perfect for using the motion detection in scenes; but no camera integration.[/quote]
That’s my original question. Shouldn’t there be a supported Doorbell and a supported plugin to make it easy as possible to add a doorbell (core function) to Vera (with reasonable standard functionality set e.g button trigger, motion trigger, video etc). Just like there is for a supported switch or camera etc?
The information in this thread led me to purchasing a Wink2 hub to integrate the Ring Doorbell with Vera (along with many other devices). For anyone who is looking to repeat this please be advised that the developer of the Wink Plugin for Vera has withdrawn it. No explanation what has happened to cause that.
While this plugin works quite well (for now), not having it supported any longer will make this an unsustainable solution.
You don’t mean the Doorbird listed on Amazon for $1,444, right? :o
Not kidding: [url=https://www.amazon.com/DoorBird-Video-Doorbell-Stainless-Steel/dp/B01N9ITZMR]Amazon.com
Oh, they also have one listed for $599 and the cheapest at $378. All to rich for me. Even the Nest Hello is a bit pricey (Preorder @$229 with a Google Mini thrown in).
I also really like the looks and features of the Skybell Slimline, but have to be figure out how it could best be integrated into Vera without getting the model locked into alarm.com’s app. Just thinking that the Works with Nest and the Hello doorbell might be the better way to go for long term support.
Anyway, the main point of my post was to warn others researching about Ring integration with Vera that they won’t be able to find the Wink Control plugin on the Vera app list as it was withdrawn.
Also interested in doorbell solutions. Honestly I just want the Aeotec doorbell but it’s not available in Australia . I already have a Ubiquiti camera installed above the door so I should be able to tap into that for a feed.
Failing that I guess a Ring, but they don’t sound all that awesome really.
According to Sorin, both Ring and Skybell are on the roadmap for Vera integration…
[quote=“Sorin M.”]Hello Folks.
Skybell is on the roadmap for the second half of 2018. Same as Ring.[/quote]
I had been looking into the upcoming Nest Hello doorbell and the official Vera Works with Nest (WWN) plugin, but it appears to only be supporting the Nest thermostat and Nest Protects at this point. No telling when it will support the Hello doorbell. There has been no WWN update/comments from Vera posted since September '17.
Any updates on Nest Hello support? I originally bought a Ring, but since I am in the google home/vera camp and suspect ring will only play well with Amazon moving forward, I plan to sell and buy a Nest Hello.
Nah, just check the WNN (Works With Nest) forum… Currently the plugin only supports the Nest thermostat and Protect, but nothing has been mentioned about the Nest Hello or any other Nest products that I’ve seen.
I have achieved limited integration via Alexa routines. When my Ring doorbell or flood light camera detects motion, I have routines that control specified z-wave devices. For example, when my floodlight camera detects motion at night, the routine turns on additional flood lights controlled by an outdoor Z-wave plug. It also turns on interior lights and a siren, all controlled by Vera. In short, Ring talks to Alexa, and Alexa talks to Vera.
