I was reviewing my webCoRE pistons today and realized my “turn on porch lights after dark if doorbell is pushed” was showing some long and convoluted hash instead of the doorbell name in the IF statement - so I first check to make sure the Ring Doorbell is still in my SmartThings hub - check! Then I make sure the Ring device is still talking to SmartThings by grabbing a screenshot through the camera - check! Then I go to webCoRE “Available Devices” to make sure it’s still added there… and that’s where I’m stumped. It’s not available as either an actuator nor a sensor, but under “Capability Group 2”, I can add it as a motion sensor, but not as a button or switch or anything else.
Was there some sort of feature change/handler change in the last six weeks? I added this Ring Doorbell last year and the piston back in January, and haven’t made any changes to my Ring setup since then.
There’s a chance the new ring integration won’t work correctly with webcore. If that’s the case, you should try to create the automation using the automation creator in the app.

I’m afraid this is the case. I’ve tried deleting and re-adding the integration twice this afternoon with no different result - however, I can access these events in the native automation creator, but all of my automations currently exist in webCoRE soooooo
I recently changed from Ring 3, to Ring pro and the automation options has been reduced to only motion and pressed! I remeber there were several other options using Ring 3.
Is the difference because of different integrations for ring products?
Is the ring doorbell integration any good? Is it fast to trigger lights with motion detection? How is accessing videos in the smart things app is it slow to access the videos in the app?
