This doesn’t look too hard, I just won’t be able to test it. Will try investigate over the next week or so
It won’t do anything yet, but in theory at least, https://smedley.id.au/tmp/org.openhab.binding.ring-5.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar should ‘upgrade’ your ‘other’ Thing and add a switch open-door
There is no code yet to make it do anything though 
Code at openhab-addons/bundles/org.openhab.binding.ring at ring-intercom · psmedley/openhab-addons · GitHub
I’ll try make it handle the command over the coming days
Hi @Paul_Smedley
so this version for 5.1.0 will not work with OH 4.3, right?
Thx!
Correct. There is some java 21 code in the binding that would need to be backported to java 17 in order to create a version compatible with 4.3
If anyone is interested, I’ve added functionality to download snapshots from cameras/doorbells - which is cool for being able to add an image to a sitemap 
https://smedley.id.au/tmp/org.openhab.binding.ring-5.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
I’m also planning to add an extended description of the motion - the API seems to contain the detail on whether a person or vehicle were detected, and perhaps an on/off switch for each camera/doorbell to indicate that motion has been detected.
Any other suggestions?

Hello! I don’t own any Ring cameras.
However, I’ve been working on the Blink Binding lately. (Blink and Ring are similar products, both Amazon owned camera systems).
I am looking for advice and perhaps interested in some consistency between how the Blink and Ring bindings behave, if it makes sense to do so. Ideally, we would find someone in the audience who has both Ring and Blink devices and could facilitate the conversation.
If you’re reading this Ring Binding thread, consider visiting this Camera thread and giving your opinion there!
@Paul_Smedley maybe a stupid question, anyway… Usually when operating more than 1 Ring camera, a Standard subscription (10€) is required. Can you tell if it’s possible with the binding to access all cameras with just a Basic subscription (4€)?
I think it’s possible for basic functionality, but I believe video download requires a subscription
Motion detection and snapshot (download) for both doorbell and camera would be sufficiant for me.
I’m currently on Basic subscription (for the doorbell) and wouldn’t necessarily want to upgrade my plan for the outdoor camera…
Yes, I have 6 cameras as long as they are located at the same address, one subscription works for all of them.
Best, Jay
