MMM-Ring: Displays a video stream of your Ring doorbell when someone rings your doorbell.

[sithlordhood]

@DustinBryant yes i did, a few times and still the same. The video files are still appearing after the log says stream has ended

[DustinBryant]

Ok, run in dev mode again but switch over to the Network tab (instead of console) and see if any of the lines have red text prior or after hitting your doorbell again.

[sithlordhood]

i dont see any entries in the network tab at all, i have stopped and restarted the record and hit the button on the doorbell but nothing apears in the log.

[DustinBryant]

I’ve exhausted everything I can think of. Your working with an ideal situation where everything is updated and fresh and still not able to get the stream. For some reason the videos aren’t getting dropped in that public folder for you when the event gets activated. Based on what you’ve provided it should be working.

Since I can’t recreate the condition on my end there’s not much I can do here. Your specific issue is the first I’ve seen or heard of. That layer of the module is utilizing the ring-api from dgreif which I have no contributions to.

If you’re adventurous enough and have a little bit of coding background you may try downloading his api and play with the browser example he has to see if you can get that working.

Sorry @sithlordhood !

[sithlordhood]

Ok, thanks very much for helping out.

One final thing that i thought of was that i’m using the wired ethernet interface on the Pi, not the WiFi. Not sure if this matters, just thought it a bit odd that i did not get any data displayed in the Network tab?

[sithlordhood]

Just to update - dont know whats changed but the module is working ok now! Thanks!

@Peter
It’s the same for me
I have nothing in “Network”
I have no “Public” directory !

Help…

When i do /MagicMirror $ npm start dev
I have following :

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
{ Error: listen EADDRINUSE 127.0.0.1:8585
    at Object._errnoException (util.js:1024:11)

[Peter Leemon]

did you get yours to work?, I gave up at this stage

[Doudy]

@Peter-Leemon
Still no video
I don’t know if mmm-Ring works

[DustinBryant]

Unfortunately, I’ve since replaced my ring devices for something more localized. I do know recently Ring had an update that requires 2-factor authentication. You may want to try setting that up and following the directions on how to use it with mmm-ring.

[Peter Leemon]

out of curiosity what localized devices did you use and compatible with raspberry pi as well as MM?

[dc331903]

Heads Up! -“Ring enables mandatory two-factor authentication”
Looks like 2FA is the new thing moving forward. I just started working on this module tonight and haven’t fully tested, but at least I know where to start now.

I did notice that the sample code in the site for setting up 2FA is missing a comma in case you miss it. https://github.com/DustinBryant/MMM-Ring/wiki/Two-Factor-Auth-(ring2faRefreshToken-config-option)

[dc331903]

@dc331903 Trying the above for Two-factor auth has not worked for me still. Let us know if yours is working! Logging seems to show it is getting connected to camera though… so it could just be a positioning issue for me.

[DustinBryant]

Just updated this repository to require 2F Refresh Token as well as automating the process of automatically getting a new Refresh Token when the old one expires.

In order to get this update navigate to the MMM-Ring directory within MagicMirror/modules and perform the following:

git pull
npm install

If you need more information on the Refresh Token you can find it here: https://github.com/DustinBryant/MMM-Ring/wiki/Refresh-Tokens

Also, I no longer have a Ring device so I can’t maintain the repository anymore. I’ll do my best with what I can but I’m definitely looking for someone to take this over.

[Nicoh]

@dustinbryant Hi there. I have a refresh token. It works nice. But now i dont get it on the Mirror. How i update the efreshtoken? please help me

[sdetweil]

@nicoh the doc says to see the wiki

[Nicoh]

@sdetweil thanks. I do it and get the token. But If i Press the Ring Doorbell nothing happen.

[sdetweil]

@nicoh I do not know, sorry…

[ewingfox]

@sdetweil I’ll move to a new thread depending on your response - I know this is an abandoned module, but do you know if it’s still working (anywhere) or do I need to start from scratch? The wife has submitted another ‘feature request’. I fear I have created a monster :D
