Press Ring Doorbell Button when door sensor opens/closes

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Very new to this whole webCoRE.

2) What is the expected behavior?
I’m trying to “push” my ring doorbell button upon door sensors trigger via ST, so I can use my ring chime as an alert.

3) What is happening/not happening?
I’m not getting an actual button “push”, therefore not getting my chime triggered. However I do get the push notifications from ST.

4) Post a Green Snapshot of the pistonimage

When you select your Ring Doorbell as a device, what parameters are available in the drop-down list to the right?

#3

This is what shows up on the right. Is that what you meant?
40%20PM

Sorry, I didn’t know you responded. If you click the reply arrow below someone’s post, it’ll notify them you responded so you might get help faster. :slight_smile:

I was thinking more like this so I could see what parameters you have to work with (I don’t have a ring doorbell to try with):

Aha! I see.

Not really sure how to invoke the Doorbell’s button. I’ve tried $Device and Doorbell as well.
When I call out “Doorbell” device, I don’t have the option to specify the button:
12%20PM

Only after I can select the button within the task. But nothing is happening:

00%20PM

Thanks for your help!

What happens if you select “button” from that dropdown, and then for you action choose “turn on”? Does it ring the doorbell?

Edit to add: get out of that $device activity and create a new one.

Add new task
Choose doorbell, then button
Choose ‘turn on’ as your action

If that rings the doorbell, we can modify the original piston to do as you wish.
