ring-mqtt-ha-addon VS alarmo

Short answer is no. It's been a while since I last looked at it but the long answer is "kinda in a hacky way, with a lot of work, and Ring is gonna fight you the whole way because they want you to pay."

If you have an existing Ring security system, you can either integrate all of it's sensors and alarm control with Home Assistant via Ring MQTT or get your own ZWave hub, connect all the sensors to that, and use Alarmo to create your own security system. I'm doing the former since I want to pay for the peace of mind that comes from a professionally monitored security system, but can switch to the latter if Amazon gets too greedy.

I used this add-on so I can continue to use Ring and get to use the sensors for automations. But otherwise yeah most Ring accessories are surprisingly DIY friendly.

Speaking of Home Assistant, Ring integrates really well with Home Assistant using the add-on version of ring-mqtt. I pay for Ring for the convenience but can also control it and easily use its sensors for other things this way. If Ring does go away I'll bite the bullet and use Alarmo instead.

If you happen to also be using Home Assistant then the Ring-MQTT HA Add-on is nice but I haven't pushed it back from Home Assistant into HomeKit. I'm only using that for dashboard display right now.

You got it, I'm using the ring mqtt addon with a picture-entity card. I didn't have much luck with the out of the box ring integration but this one works fantastic for me: https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt-ha-addon

I was able to get mine to work with the following add on. https://github.com/tsightler/ring-mqtt-ha-addon

I just did this with our ancient system. I replaced the keypads with Ring Alarm Keypads v2 which connected to my Home Assistant server via Zwave and stay in sync with the Alarmo custom integration using this Blueprint. It all works great and was much easier than expected to switch over.

Never before heard of Alarmo.

As others have mentioned, you can replace the ADT mainboard with Konnected. From there, expose your now Konnected hardwired sensors to Home Assistant and setup an alarm system using the Alarmo integration. Expose that all to HomeKit.

Check out Alarmo if you use Home Assistant: https://github.com/nielsfaber/alarmo

I had a hardwired security system in the house I purchased and I replaced the main panel/board with Konnected Alarm Panel Pro. All of the existing hardwired sensors (doors, windows, motion and siren) are then integrated with Home Assistant. I use Alarmo, an alarm integration for Home Assistant, to create an alarm system which is then exposed to HomeKit, also via Home Assistant.

another option, depending on your use case, is to replace the alarm entirely with an open source solution. Alarmo for the software side, and Konnected.io for the replacement alarm board are the first things that come to mind.

As a side note, Home Assistant also runs my home security system as well. I used the Konnected Alarm Panel Pro to re-use existing hardwired sensors from an older security system that was already in place. I then used the Alarmo integration for Home Assistant which basically makes setting up an alarm system a breeze.
