Turn Ring Motion Off/On

#1

Here is my idea:

I have a Ring Pro Door bell and a contact sensor on my front door.

Often, we will be outside running around (kids, dog, etc.) and will walk into the area were the Ring is. Setting off the motion.

I would like to build the piston so that if the front door is open, the motion is off on the Ring and then come back on when the door is closed.

In my rough drafts, I am not seeing anything that would be capable of doing this.

Is this even possible?

I should mention right off the bat that I am very new to WebCore and am still trying to figure this out.

I appreciate anyone’s input.

Thank you.

It sounds easy IF you keep all the coding 100% in webCoRE.
(disabling all programming in the Ring app etc)

IF Motion changes to active
and
Door is closed
    Then do normal stuff
End IF

This way, nothing will happen if the door is open

That’s a good start. I think if I turn off the motion notification in the Ring app, then set it up in WebCore to notify on motion, that should do it!

That worked! I didn’t even think of it, and it was so simple!

Glad to help

Sprout can you share your code for this. I"m not getting any response from the ring at all when I attempt to contact it to make changes. Perhaps I’ve just missed something basic.

Thanks
