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

      Interesting, are any errors printed in the terminal and if none there, are there any errors in the Electron debugger log after running?

      You’ll need to install ffmpeg. I’m assuming you’re using a pi with Raspbian. If so, you can run the following in the terminal:

      sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
      

      If not, you’ll need to find how to install ffmpeg with whatever OS you’re running.

    • Video encoding ffmpeg and streaming hls

      I created a 3rd party module called MMM-Ring. It is for MM owners who have a ring device that whenever the doorbell is activated the video is streamed to the mirror. This works on my end with no issues. However, I have at least one person stating they get either no video or the video is frozen almost as if its just a snapshot.

      I had them check to make sure the stream data is being saved (.m3u8 and .ts files) and it is. I’m thinking this is a latency related issue tied to internet connectivity. I thought by making the -preset option on ffmpeg to ultra fast perhaps we could reduce down the size of the files generated for stream, but it only showed minor improvement on the end users side.

      Hoping someone with more experience in streaming could potentially add some guidance/assistance.

      Thanks in advance!

    • RE: MMM-NewPIR

      @Bugsounet this looks pretty cool! My next project to work on is setting up motion detection using PIR. This looks like it is on the right track as to what I’m looking for. I don’t know anything about PIR yet and interfacing with pi so I need to get caught up with functionality first. What I do know is that I will be adding multiple PIR sensors (one on each side and a front facing one).

      Is it possible you could adapt this to allow multiple sensorPins that you monitor for?

      If not, whenever I get to buying the PIR’s and working with them I may just submit a merge request with that functionality change at that time if you’re open to contributions.

    • RE: Ring Doorbell / Alarm Module

      Better late than never!

      I just released MMM-Ring which provides a live video whenever someone rings your ring doorbell. No plans for anything else as this met all my needs. Also, only have a doorbell and not all the other Ring products. Though, it is now public so if someone wants to extend the functionality they can have at it!

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

      Description
      Whenever someone rings your doorbell by pressing the button on your ring device, a video will appear wherever the module is placed within MM. This module will only work for ding events and will not do anything for motion events. Whenever there is no video being displayed nothing else is shown in its place.
