I built this because of this tweet.
I have nothing to do with Ring.com, they just annoyed me with that tweet, so I figured out their api..
doorbot 2.x has an API change
npm i doorbot --save
const RingAPI = require('doorbot');
const ring = RingAPI({
email: '[email protected]',
password: '12345',
retries: 10, //authentication retries, optional, defaults to 0
userAgent: 'My User Agent' //optional, defaults to @nodejs-doorbot
});
ring.devices((e, devices) => {
console.log(e, devices);
ring.history((e, history) => {
console.log(e, history);
ring.recording(history[0].id, (e, recording) => {
console.log(e, recording);
const check = () => {
console.log('Checking for ring activity..');
ring.dings((e, json) => {
console.log(e, json);
});
};
setInterval(check, 30 * 1000);
check();
});
});
//floodlights are under the stickups_cams prop
if (devices.hasOwnProperty('stickup_cams') &&
Array.isArray(devices.stickup_cams) &&
devices.stickup_cams.length > 0) {
ring.lightToggle(devices.stickup_cams[0], (e) => {
//Light state has been toggled
});
}
});
Get a list of your devices:
ring.devices(token, callback) => (error, array)
Get your ring history:
ring.history(token, callback) => (error, array)
Get a URL to a recording:
ring.recording(token, id, callback) => (error, url)
Turn on floodlights
ring.lightOn(device, callback) => (error)
Turn off floodlights
ring.lightOff(device, callback) => (error)
Toggle floodlights
ring.lightToggle(device, callback) => (error)
I've added the debug
module, so you can run this with export DEBUG=doorbot
and it will print some helpful logs.
