The ST hub is essentially the same, the Ring doorbell is 100% exactly the same, well?
The platform itself (“the giant puzzle”) has no reason to be different between the US and UK, because again - the only physical difference is the z-wave module frequency…
I don’t understand why Samsung created this separation from the first place.
I really doubt it has anything to do with Samsung. Apart from the name on the branding, Smartthing is still being run like a start-up it has always been.
Yes, I have the same question. I looked in a lot of the likely categories including ‘new things’, ‘sensors’ and even ‘sirens’ to no avail. Where have you seen this UIGuy?
I would also like to get the ability to take a Picture or Video on demand like the skybell integration can do. Ideally if the house is broken into all cameras should be recording continuously.
Chime would be a nice to have but video/picture is a must have.
don’t forget support for other Ring devices as well, been eyeing out the stick up cam
Completely agree this would be useful for nap time but unless the naps are around set schedules, you would still need to remember to flip a switch/mode in ST. If the schedules are set, you could simply use the native scheduler in the Ring app although this does not seem to work consistent for me.
Agree. But the switch to mode might have additional changes you want to make for nap time so only one switch is necessary instead of switch mode and then mute chime. Also I can use my amazon echo to change modes so I wouldn’t even need to go into the app just tell Alexa to turn on “nap time”. I also agree the smart switch would work but that is just something else that needs to be bought.
What is the practical use of this integration? Apart from turning a light ,assuming your porch light is smartthings enabled. Can you advise some useful scenarios.
That’s exactly what I use it for. All my outdoor lights are on a colour cycle. When Ring detects motion, I set them all to 100% and white and I turn on the pendant light inside by the front door.
You could also get it to flash a light somewhere inside for extra notification, if you have a DVR/streaming device or something and Harmony Hub, you could have it pause TV/movie/music so you can go and answer the door.
Can you view the live feed in a dashboard like actiontiles? (Does the device allow you to view an MJPEG video stream).I’m curious to know before I buy one. Thanks!
