Project description
Python Ring Door Bell is a library written for Python that exposes the Ring.com devices as Python objects.
There is also a command line interface that is work in progress. Contributors welcome.
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/python-ring-doorbell/python-ring-doorbell@masterUsing the CLI
The CLI is work in progress and currently has the following commands:
Show your devices:
$ ring-doorbell
Or:
$ ring-doorbell show
List your device names (with device kind):
$ ring-doorbell list
Either count or download your vidoes or both:
$ ring-doorbell videos --count --download-all
Enable disable motion detection:
$ ring-doorbell motion-detection --device-name "DEVICENAME" --on $ ring-doorbell motion-detection --device-name "DEVICENAME" --off
Listen for push notifications like the ones sent to your phone:
$ ring-doorbell listen
List your ring groups:
$ ring-doorbell groups
Show your ding history:
$ ring-doorbell history --device-name "Front Door"
Show your currently active dings:
$ ring-doorbell dings
See or manage your doorbell in-home chime settings:
$ ring-doorbell in-home-chime --device-name "Front Door" $ ring-doorbell in-home-chime --device-name "Front Door" type Mechanical $ ring-doorbell in-home-chime --device-name "Front Door" enabled True $ ring-doorbell in-home-chime --device-name "Front Door" duration 5
Query a ring api url directly:
$ ring-doorbell raw-query --url /clients_api/dings/active
Run ring-doorbell --help or ring-doorbell <command> --help for full options
Using the API
The API has an async interface and a sync interface. All api calls starting async are asynchronous. This is the preferred method of interacting with the ring api and the sync versions are maintained for backwards compatability.
You cannot call sync api functions from inside a running event loop.
Initializing your Ring object
This code example is in the test.py file. For the deprecated sync example see test_sync.py.
