The stick up cam battery model is supposed to work with smartthings. The wired model does not.

With all camera brands, some models work and some don’t, so you have to check the details.

There may also be regional restrictions on some models, so you may want to search the forum for a specific model before you order it to see if anyone else in your country is using it.

Here’s the thread on ring models. You will see that people have had a lot of different experiences with them, it’s very confusing.

I know that’s all a lot of work. It’s up to the individual device manufacturers to create the integration to smartthings, so you just have to research them one by one. 🤔
