Ring.com Doorbell API

This is a copy of the source code from https://github.com/davglass/doorbot . I made this copy only, because the npm version is not actual.

I built this because of this tweet.

I have nothing to do with Ring.com, they just annoyed me with that tweet, so I figured out their api..

doorbot 2.x has an API change

usage

npm i @schmupu/doorbot --save

const RingAPI = require('doorbot');

const ring = RingAPI({
    email: '[e-mail]',
    password: '12345',
    retries: 10, //authentication retries, optional, defaults to 0
    userAgent: 'My User Agent', //optional, defaults to @android:com.ringapp:2.0.67(423)
    api_version: 11, //optional in case you need to change it from the default of 9
    timeout: (10 * 60 * 1000) //Defaults to 5 minutes
});

ring.devices((e, devices) => {
    console.log(e, devices);
    ring.history((e, history) => {
        console.log(e, history);
        ring.recording(history[0].id, (e, recording) => {
            console.log(e, recording);
            const check = () => {
                console.log('Checking for ring activity..');
                ring.dings((e, json) => {
                    console.log(e, json);
                });
            };
            setInterval(check, 30 * 1000);
            check();
        });
    });

    //floodlights are under the stickups_cams prop
    if (devices.hasOwnProperty('stickup_cams') && 
        Array.isArray(devices.stickup_cams) &&
        devices.stickup_cams.length > 0) {
        
        ring.lightToggle(devices.stickup_cams[0], (e) => {
            //Light state has been toggled
        });
    }
});

debugging

I've added the debug module, so you can run this with export DEBUG=doorbot and it will print some helpful logs.
