@josh Is there a way to have a tile launch directly to the live view of a specific camera in the Ring app? I can launch the app, but the camera list doesnt support landscape and Id rather have links to each camera.
I already have rules to auto launch based on notifications. Just hoping to add direct-to-live-feed buttons for each camera too.
(Couldn’t find a definitive yes/no in the recent archives).
@James is this feature working still? I believe I have all the steps correctly as you explained i still don’t get a video stream when door bell is pushed. Thanks
thanks. I have the fire hd 10 device and i believe I have the standard ring app loaded on the the tablet. downloaded the smartthings dth. ill try this link provided . thank you
I was able to get the ring app to open when door bell button is push but it’s not full screen video. It’s shows like i just opened the app with the menus. Anyway to change this??
I am afraid there is no intent (URL path) available to open Ring app and to the specific video in full screen though. But the trick @Automated_House shared might do the trick.
I think he’s using the new ‘Custom’ action where you can type in what you would normally verbally ask Alexa to do. In this case “show the front doorbell”
I was able to test out the routine tricks with my Ring doorbell and Fire tablet, it worked as expected. I agreed that the 1st troubleshoot step would be getting the camera view showing on the tablet by asking Alexa to do so first.
I think this is a neat treat, but you may also want to set a rule to bring Fully Kiosk Browser back to the front for displaying the dashboard again once the exiting the camera view. Will need Fully Kiosk Browser device hander to do so.
I have been so frustrated with the lack of Ring Camera direct integration to ST. But this worked perfectly. On door bell ring, my dash (fire hd 10) loads the camera right away.
