I’ve had a the ring doorbell, not pro but second generation for 18 months to 2 years ish.
The first unit developed a fault with the microphone but ring replaced it for me. I have it trickle charge from 12v DC. I’ve noticed a couple of things, it can eat the internal battery on motion activiation. Therefore I’ve pulled the motion sensor right in which has improved battery life dramatically. Regarding the trickle charge, if you ever let the unit discharge fully it causes a pull down on the transformer which a) stops charging the battery and b) knackers the transformer. So keep it charged enough that it can at least charge.
I have recently added the floodlight cam at the back of the house. This is a really good bit of kit and I like it alot. Things are much better for having it mains powered. Only thing that annoys me is lack of proper ST integration.
I noted some of the comments around wanting better integration and what else can you do with it? I’ve done and am experimenting with a few things. I don’t subscribe to motion alerts on a schedule but what I have done is, using webCORE asked to get extra notifications for certain conditions. In certain modes or, say, between midnight and 6am any motion gets greater attention and I ask it to say something to me. I have a Sonos system, so if I get backdoor motion between midnight and 6am and I’m in, then I get sonos to tell me via text to speech, hopefully waking me up. Same with a doorbell press at the front at any time. “Someone, is at the door”.
I’m working on similar routines, which will integrate with my Hue lights so when I’m away I can cause a delay and a light to come on, to simulate someone coming downstairs and turning the lights on and having a look around. I may even work on getting sonos to play noise like someone clunking around.
I’m hoping none of the local toerags from my area read this of course…
