Describe The Bug

I would like to receive the events from the Ring Intercom (the device to make an existing intercom smart). The API gets the location but does not detect the device:

It's not clear to me what code you are running, but it looks a lot like the API example code, which does not currently list intercom devices, only camera and alarm devices, but the API itself supports Intercoms for some time. Similar to cameras, intercoms are available as an array via location.intercoms property.

@tsightler Thank you - how can I get a notification when a ring event occurs (someone is at my door)?

[tsightler]

I would suggest using the code from the Homebridge plugin as an example, see:

https://github.com/dgreif/ring/blob/main/packages/homebridge-ring/intercom.ts

Basically, subscript to onDing events and take action.

Thank you @tsightler !

What I couldn't see in the example is whether it is possible to get the real-time audio and send real-time audio to the intercom - do you happen to know if that is possible?

[tsightler]

No, it is not possible.
