scrypted VS ring

lazyweb: https://github.com/koush/scrypted (regrettably the licensing is "it depends" https://github.com/koush/scrypted/blob/v0.93.0/LICENSE.md#li... )

and don't overlook that user's other repos, as seems like there are quite a few fun things in there: https://github.com/koush?tab=repositories

I have taken a look at the page for debugging steps for Homekit recording and haven’t played with any setting mentioned there.

Unfortunately the options for HKSV doorbells is fairly limited. The Logitech circle view Doorbell looks like the best candidate but it has a spotty review history, with the biggest complaint being it breaking in direct sunlight.

I’m about to buy some cameras and I’m thinking of just buying Nest and using https://scrypted.app to bridge to HKSV.

In the demo video linked to from the Scrypted Github repo, the author has some kind of a delivery box (visible in the top camera), with a camera inside the box in night vision mode, able to report on whether there’s anything in the box. Does anyone know how this setup was achieved, or have done something similar to combine a camera with a closed delivery box?

You can migrate the scrypted setup with this: https://github.com/koush/scrypted/wiki/Scrypted-Backup-and-Restore

I see two options, both from brands that seem to be well-received on the brand report card.

You might want to try setting them up with Scrypted then use the plugin to get them into Homebridge.

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?
