ring doorbell does not communicate #29

Hello, I have noticed that when I turn on the addon, the ring doorbell device does not communicate when someone presses the doorbell, I mean that at the HA level and in the ring app there is no notification of any kind until a few minutes have passed. Sorry for my English, the google translator is helping me.

@pollinolas that is an effect of running the livestream continuously. that's why we need a way to start/stop the add-on

Thanks for answering, maybe, these days I have been doing some tests and I have had the addon on continuously. by the way I also confirm that adding the camera as ffmpeg allows you to capture. Greetings.

thanks, can you share what your configuration.yaml looks like and what service you call to do the snapshot, because it does not seem to work for everyone.

camera:

platform: ffmpeg name: Ring input: http://192.168.1.2:3000/public/stream.m3u8

the service that I use is the camera.snapshot with a delay before and a smaller one after to send it

delay: 00:00:10
data: entity_id: camera.ring filename: '/config/www/camaras/videoportero.jpg' service: camera.snapshot
delay: 00:00:03

If there was the possibility of having the addon on it would always be great, so that great delay would not be necessary That's what the tests that I've been doing were about
