I’ve added a pull request which adds support for Ring Intercom, thanks @rautsch for his PR on python-ring-doorbell
this issue is not stale, until #91600 is merged it will persist
Great work. unfortunatelly it seems that tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell is more or less abandoned. The latest commit is from Dec 18, 2021 though there are multiple promissing pull requests. Most likely there won’t be any progress until sombody creates a fork and the homeassistant integration migrates to that fork.
If I have some time on the weekend, I will look into that. Some details are missing as well, but yeah core functionality should be available
There hasn’t been any activity on this issue recently. Due to the high number of incoming GitHub notifications, we have to clean some of the old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
Go to Integration and click on the device then on Automation “single_press button 1” 😃 From my point of view it made sense to activate this automation only for 15 minutes when my phone enters the Home Zone.

It might not be stale, but it is invalid. Github is for tracking bugs. Not feature requests. Adding support for a new device type is a feature request, not a bug.
The already pre-existing forum feature request should be used for tracking progress and collaboration.
I don’t think the discovery tool in ring-client-api has been updated to include intercoms in it’s output. (they are yet another category), but that wouldn’t be why it doesn’t work. This isn’t really the place to troubleshoot ring-mqtt issues as this has nothing to do with Home Assistant core. One thing that may not be obvious, even if you don’t have cameras, the cameras_enabled option in ring-mqtt has to be enabled or intercoms won’t be discovered. The reason is that “enable_cameras” is somewhat misnamed due to legacy reasons. It really is more accurately called, “enable_polling”, but nobody would know what that meant anyway~
Regardless, this is probably not the best place to be troubleshooting development issues in ring-mqtt as it has nothing to do with Home Assistant core.
In the addon settings And give it some time to fetch the dev files (see log) Restart the addon, and maybe homeassistant
Hallo Kai,
ich habe es nun geschaft mittels der Installation von Homebridge auf einem Raspi die Ring Intercom auf meinem Homeassistant zum laufen zu bekommen!
Danke für deine Hilfe und Anregungen!
Viele Grüße Gunter
Hallo Kai,
Sorry zu kompliziert gedacht! Eingabe nach “Ring” in der Plugins Suche hat geholfen.
Viele Grüße Gunter
Hallo Kai,
danke für Deine Antwort. Ich habe nun auf einem Raspi Homebridge installiert. Wie bekomme ich nun das Plugin für Ring Intercom in die Homebridge?
Danke für Deine Hilfe!!!
Viele Grüße Gunter
That improved the responsiveness of my ring to open automation by ten times or so - thank you!!
There seems to be some movement on this, I would be very happy if this was also available for homeassistant very soon https://github.com/dgreif/ring/releases
