Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/ring-doorbell.svg https://travis-ci.org/tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell.svg?branch=master https://coveralls.io/repos/github/tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell/badge.svg?branch=master https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/ring-doorbell.svg

Python Ring Door Bell is a library written in Python 2.7/3x that exposes the Ring.com devices as Python objects.

Currently Ring.com does not provide an official API. The results of this project are merely from reverse engineering.

Documentation: http://python-ring-doorbell.readthedocs.io/

Installation

# Installing from PyPi
$ pip install ring_doorbell

# Installing latest development
$ pip install \
    git+https://github.com/tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell@master

Initializing your Ring object

from ring_doorbell import Ring
myring = Ring('foo@bar', 'secret')

myring.is_connected
True

Listing devices linked to your account

# All devices
myring.devices
{'chimes': [<RingChime: Downstairs>],
'doorbells': [<RingDoorBell: Front Door>]}

# All chimes
myring.chimes
[<RingChime: Downstairs>]

# All door bells
myring.doorbells
[<RingDoorBell: Front Door>]

# All stickup cams
myring.stickup_cams
[<RingStickUpCam: Driveway>]

Playing with the attributes and functions

for dev in list(myring.stickup_cams + myring.chimes + myring.doorbells):

    # refresh data
    dev.update()

    print('Account ID: %s' % dev.account_id)
    print('Address:    %s' % dev.address)
    print('Family:     %s' % dev.family)
    print('ID:         %s' % dev.id)
    print('Name:       %s' % dev.name)
    print('Timezone:   %s' % dev.timezone)
    print('Wifi Name:  %s' % dev.wifi_name)
    print('Wifi RSSI:  %s' % dev.wifi_signal_strength)

    # setting dev volume
    print('Volume:     %s' % dev.volume)
    dev.volume = 5
    print('Volume:     %s' % dev.volume)

    # play dev test shound
    if dev.family == 'chimes':
        dev.test_sound(kind = 'ding')
        dev.test_sound(kind = 'motion')

    # turn on lights on floodlight cam
    if dev.family == 'stickup_cams' and dev.lights:
        dev.lights = 'on'

Showing door bell events

for doorbell in myring.doorbells:

    # listing the last 15 events of any kind
    for event in doorbell.history(limit=15):
        print('ID:       %s' % event['id'])
        print('Kind:     %s' % event['kind'])
        print('Answered: %s' % event['answered'])
        print('When:     %s' % event['created_at'])
        print('--' * 50)

    # get a event list only the triggered by motion
    events = doorbell.history(kind='motion')

Downloading the last video triggered by ding

doorbell = myring.doorbells[0]
doorbell.recording_download(
    doorbell.history(limit=100, kind='ding')[0]['id'],
                     filename='/home/user/last_ding.mp4',
                     override=True)

Displaying the last video capture URL

print(doorbell.recording_url(doorbell.last_recording_id))
'https://ring-transcoded-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/99999999.mp4?X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Date=20170313T232537Z&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=TOKEN_SECRET/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=secret'
