What I&#x27;ve tried]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">I kept searching “does Ring work with HomeKit” because I wanted to use my Ring doorbell with Apple Home. I couldn’t find a native HomeKit option for my Ring setup, so I started looking at other ways to connect it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Here are a few methods I tried.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Homebridge</strong><br />
Homebridge was the first option I tried. I already had a Raspberry Pi, so it was a good place to start. I installed the Ring plugin and connected it to Apple Home.<br />
The setup took a little time, but once everything was connected, I could see my Ring device in the Home app. The main downside for me was not having HomeKit Secure Video.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Home Assistant</strong><br />
I also tried Home Assistant because I was already using it for other smart home devices. I connected Ring to Home Assistant and then used HomeKit Bridge to bring it into Apple Home.<br />
It worked for basic use, but the Ring integration still relies on Ring’s cloud connection. HomeKit Secure Video isn’t supported through the Home Assistant HomeKit Bridge either.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Scrypted</strong><br />
Then I looked at Scrypted. It supports HomeKit Secure Video, which made it an interesting option for using cameras with Apple Home.<br />
The setup was a little more involved than the other options, but it’s worth looking at if HomeKit Secure Video is important to you.<br />
For me, there still isn’t one simple solution that does everything. These workarounds gave me a few different ways to bring Ring and Apple Home together.</p>
<p dir="auto">Has anyone here found another good way to use Ring with Apple Home? I’d like to know what worked for you.</p>
