The 406 error typically means your IP has been rate limited or otherwise temporarily blocked. This can sometimes happen if, for example, you are using VPN and/or "privacy" services on your router as Ring blocks access to their systems from many of those IP blocks. However, it can also happen it cases where, for example, a token expired because ring-client-api tries over and over and Ring will temporarily block access. You'll need to stop all connections to Ring from that location for 8-12 hours and then try again.

If you do a search for "406" under closed issues you will see a number of other reports and various solutions, most involved simply stopping ring-homebridge for a while and tryting again later.
