(Unofficial) Ring Support added, but how to trigger on Ring Mode change?

[user5841]

I've successfully added the package and created the instance of the "Unofficial Ring Connect" app,

and the "Berkeley Location (Ring API Virtual Device...)" and the "Ring Virtual Alarm Hub"

And the Device page for the Ring Virtual Alarm Hub does changes its reported mode from OFF to HOME when the Ring Alarm state changes. All good.

BUT, when I attempt to create a rule that will use the mode or mode change of the Ring Alarm, there is no such device in the trigger options. Where do I find the ability to actually USE the Ring Alarm Mode state (or change of state) in a rule?

Thanks!

[user5841]

OK, I figured out part of this myself - the trigger is hidden under the "Custom Attribute" in the Trigger list. So far all good. But I'm now getting a lot of WARN log messages, such as shown below. Anyone know how to mollify these?

I'm a roll today, but want to keep sharing my findings to help others.

I was able to suppress the majority of those log messages by going to the parent device (in this case "Berkeley Location" and enabling the "Suppress log messages for missing/deleted devices. WARNING: This option is deprecated. Use excludeDevice instead."

Of course this option is deprecated so I looked at the Exclude Device section:

But that appears to want the zid of EACH device that must be excluded, which from the error log above would be a long list. Anyone know what all of this devices are, and why they're generating errors, when I only have the Ring Alarm Base Station incorporated (to my knowledge)?

But I'm now getting a lot of WARN log messages, such as shown below. Anyone know how to mollify these?

I don't use this integration so can't speak from experience, but it looks like the log entries suggest possible solutions:

@user5841

Run createDevices() to create missing devices

@user5841

or use excludeDevice(XXXXXXX) to suppress this warning

Both of these would be custom commands you will find on the device detail page (with the value, if any, inside the parentheses being the parameter you would supply before running the command). Presumably, the latter assumes you don't actually want whatever device this is on your hub.

A new morning brings new issues

This morning the log contains many indications that virtual devices should have been created (see below). I tried hitting Create Devices on the main and child devices but the log entries continue. Can anyone suggest exactly where I go to create these devices?

@user5841

I don't use this app, but as the logs indicate, you need to install drivers for the virtual devices you want to create. How did you install the (Unofficial) Ring app? Perhaps you could read the instructions the app came with, and use those to install the necessary drivers. It looks like the app is in HPM (based on the errors in the log) - so if you use HPM, that would be another approach.

[user5841]

I installed the Unofficial Ring app via the Package Manager.

[aaiyar]

@user5841

Unofficial Ring app via the Package Manager.

Then you should fix your installation as indicated by the error in the log. Go back into HPM, and install the optional drivers for the unofficial Ring app that are not currently installed on your Hubitat.

[SoundersDude]

That is basically saying it has detected those devices however you don't have the drivers installed from HPM that will allow them to function.

[user5841]

OK, thanks for the input -- problem solved. Turns out I had to remove and reinstall the Ring package at which time I should choose to add drivers for the missing devices.

Thanks all!
