ring VS homebridge-raspbian-image

Hey I am trying to install a plugin to timelapse with my ring camera that i found on github ( https://github.com/wictorwilen/ring-timelapse) . i was able to get till the end of the tutorial but I came into a problem im not able to figure out. I keep on getting this error message (node:30) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Refresh token is not valid. Unable to authenticate with Ring servers. See https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Refresh-Tokens. after I try updating the ring-client-api it still gives me this error. If someone got any clue let me know :)

[29/06/2023, 21:37:01] [Ring] Failed to activate stream [29/06/2023, 21:37:01] [Ring] Error: Failed to negotiate codecs. This is a known issue with Ring cameras. Please see https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Streaming-Legacy-Mode at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-ring/node_modules/ring-client-api/lib/streaming/streaming-connection-base.js:42:25 at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)

Had the same issue. This fixed it for me: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Notification-Troubleshooting

Here's the ring-homebridge plugin: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/tree/main/packages/homebridge-ring

The scrypted guys are aware of the issue and will push a ring update soon. I fixed my homebridge ring issue following a tutorial a guy posted on github.. you do it all from the homebridge web gui, look for "terminal" in the upper right click that then follow this: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/issues/1192

Hello, I cannot setup the ring plugin. I input my email and password and click save. Nothing happens....I never get a 2FA code. I open the console and it says error: Refresh token is not valid. Unable to authenticate with Ring servers. See https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Refresh-Tokens. I have my refresh token available from HomeBridge, but I am unsure what my next step is?

Following this guide on the repo, I am running into this warning: [deCONZ] warning: not a deCONZ gateway

For anyone new to this game: Homebridge is far better and far easier than HOOBS to maintain over the long haul, regardless of HOOBS marketing insisting otherwise. And don't just trust me on this, ask any popular plugin developer.

I just image it with rasberry pi imager using the homebridge instructions - https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Getting-Started.

It has RTL8152B. The doc for raspian HB image here https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Supported-Raspberry-Pi-Models

Which is different from Ring's Doorbell, but the fact still remains, Ring doesn't have a smart watch app, nor is it natively HomeKit compatible. However if you set up Homebridge for it, you can make it so.

The same Raspberry Pi that Homebridge is on, I'd imagine. It's included as an extra package in the official installer image: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/How-To-Install-AdGuard-Home

As for the original issue - you may have downloaded a corrupt image - if you really want to use their image (rather than build the OS then install) download it from here but check the sha256 of the downloaded file before using Etcher. I use QuickHash on my Mac but other programs exist for all platforms.
