Ring Keypad and SmartThings Hub

There have been several threads lately that address the Ring Keypad. Perhaps they will answer your questions. Here’s one to get you started…

[image] You can find the source code here: https://github.com/hmorsti/SmartThingsEdgeDrivers/tree/main/drivers/SmartThings/zwave-keypad Here are some features: setting the PIN code for the “disarm” and “arm home” buttons (you can set an empty PIN too) the PIN code can handle long pressed digits - they are then mapped to the letters: 1-9 is mapped to A-I 0 is mapped to “@” wrong PIN signal motion sensor power source indication most alarms support strobe only and some support siren only panic combination (hold simultaneously “X” and “Check” buttons) doorbell with selection of 5 sounds entry and exit delay counters most configuration options were mapped in the settings Due to the limit of 20 components per device I commented…

Yes, at the time of this posting you will need a custom edge driver.

There are two choices now available.

One was created by a community member and is freely available to anyone who wants to try it.

Another more sophisticated one with a number of additional features is available as part of a paid license from Rboy apps.

You can find author threads for both on the “edge_security“ Quick browse list.

FAQ: Using the quick browse lists without the community wiki

Choice is good.

If you have access to RBOY APPS, try this driver. It’s fixed many issues the keypad had with the new platform and adds more features the keypad can use with the new platform
