[Re-release] Hubitat Ring Integration (Unofficial)

Welcome to the Hubitat community rfce19!

Setting up rules to arm or disarm can be a bit daunting the first time. It will become easier as you get use to the tools.

I will start at the very beginning, so you may skip the first couple of steps which you have most likely already done.

  1. I assume that you have Rule Machine installed. If not, install it from the "Apps" tab under "Add built-In App" button which is on the top right of that screen.
  2. Click on the "Rule Machine" link, then on the "Create New Rule" button, then give your new rule a meaningful name.
  3. Select what you want to trigger your rule. Ex.: Turning on a switch by clicking on "Select Trigger Events" and selecting all the devices and events you want to trigger it.
  4. Set the actions to run by clicking on "Select Actions to Run", then in this case, choose "Set Mode, Variables or File, Run Custom Action"
  5. From the actions available, select "Run Custom Action"
  6. From the "Select capability of action device" drop down, select "Actuator"
  7. From the list of devices available, select "Ring Alarm Hub"
  8. From the "Select custom command" drop-down, select "setMode"
  9. From the "parameter type" drop down, select "string" and enter the command available from your "Ring Alarm Device" (Ex.: "Disarmed", "Home" and "Away") - be mindful of the capitalization as it may not work if you write "disarmed" instead of "Disarmed".
  10. Click on "Done with this action", "Done with Actions", and then "Done".
  11. Enjoy your rule, and modify it to make it work better if you need to!

Does that answer your question?
