Unclear on start/stop #63

I am unclear on what to sub for the xxxxxxxx in resource: "http://hassio.local:port/api/hassio/addons/xxxxxxxx_ringlivestream/info".

The description says "To get the 8 chars code "xxxxxxxx_ringlivestream" get them from the same URL." but that makes it sound like I need the xxxxxxxx to even get to the URL. Which URL? Can anyone clarify these instructions for me?

Also, I understand making the sensor and switch, but how do you actually toggle the switch? The add-on works great, but it is constantly running and, as pointed out in another issue, this stops me from getting motion notifications from Ring.

Thanks @jeroenterheerdt for your work on this!

I was able to find the 8 digits via the terminal with ha addons list. The switch, however, does not seem to work at all, as it turns off immediately after being switched on. Much easier to just use the hassio.addon_start and hassio.addon_stop. They work perfectly with the data of xxxxxxxx_ringlivestream
