homebridge-qolsys VS ring

I’m surprised no one has recommended a Qolsys IQ 4 system from Surety. It’s commonly recommended as the top DIY system with monitoring over in r/homesecurity. It has tons of compatible sensors (from your standard doors and windows, to fire alarms, to leak and freeze detection) and offers very reasonable alarm.com central monitoring for just $19/mo. You can make it play nice with HomeKit via HomeBridge through this well-supported plugin. I need a new monitored system with burglar, fire, heat, and leak later this year (per my insurance) and plan to go this route – unless someone here can convince me otherwise!

Try this if you have a Qolsys panel - https://github.com/ehylands/homebridge-qolsys

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 :)

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?
