Ring Doorbell & Camera Control

Monitor and control Ring devices from your AI assistant.

Features

• 📷 Capture snapshots from any Ring camera or doorbell
• 📋 List all devices with battery status
• 📹 View recent doorbell events and motion history
• 🔋 Monitor battery levels

Setup

1. Install Dependencies

pip3 install ring-doorbell

Note: ffmpeg is required for video frame extraction on some doorbell models.

2. Authenticate

First time setup requires authentication with 2FA:

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py auth

Token will be saved to ~/.openclaw/ring_token.json and auto-refresh.

Usage

List All Devices

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py list

Returns JSON with device name, type, battery level, and online status.

Capture Snapshot

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py snapshot "前门门铃"

Device name supports partial/fuzzy match. Returns path to saved image.

View Recent Events

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py events --limit 10
python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py events --device "车库门铃"

When to Use This Skill

• "看一下前门的摄像头"
• "拍一张后院的照片"
• "门铃最近有没有人按？"
• "所有设备电量多少？"
• "车库门摄像头状态"

Notes

• Token auto-refreshes; re-run auth if it expires
• Snapshots require device to be online
• Some doorbell models may not support live snapshot (uses video frame instead)
• Images saved to ~/.openclaw/media/ring/
