I now own 4 Ring products. I'm using the Apple eco system and would love to see Ring products added to the Apple HomeKit framework. I still can't believe we've been waiting for over 3 years.

BI see this thread has not been responded to by anyone from Ring. I to am waiting for HomeKit support. Does Ring not even monitor their own community messages???

SRing does monitor these forums. But they probably have some type of gag order regarding certain topics...

DRing has been promising for years to integrate HomeKit into its video doorbell pro the first excuse was that apples HomeKit required security chips which I did but now that Apple has made that security part of their product in HomeKit software encryption there's no excuse ring not to integrate it other than the fact that they were bought out by Amazon and Amazon doesn't want Apple to compete with them on their own product. I wouldn't hold my breath for HomeKit integration ever I'm sure Alexa will get first pick even though Ring keeps promising that they'll do HomeKit and have been for the last four years

NIf you have some basic DIY skills then try out a Raspberry PI with the Homebridge skill. Homebridge brings together various products that are not directly supported by Homekit. Ring, Smartthings and MyQ work fine with Homebridge and I can see all of them and control them from the Home app on your i Device.

Let's remind anyone looking into it that Homebridge requires your Ring Username/Password added to a plain text file..

Honestly, Ring is garbage! We have been promised for years HomKit integration and still nothing. They do not care about the Apple ecosystem or their users and the app sucks! It takes forever to load once you get a notification and by the time it does load, the subject is gone. This is why I have not purchased another Ring product. Until they get their act together and play nice with Apple, it may be my last! And then the doorbell I have my get used for target practice!

SI won’t disagree with regards of being promised HomeKit integration for over three years I think, the Rapid Ring app is indeed now the regular app should work. Make sure you download and set notifications from it instead of from the regular Ring app. Cause it’s instant. You still need the regular app to access recordings.

I too remember when apple and ring announced HomeKit compatibility and HomeKit support was soon to follow. But ring hasn't continued to develop for the apple ecosystem or supporting the Apple customers with additional features. There's no app for Apple TV which could be a great selling point for Ring, just like the Apple Watch that is ignored and HomeKit is another missed opportunity we were told was coming.... I think it is clear Amazon wants apple users to buy Amazon smart Assistants and has no interest in developing anything for the apple ecosystem.

Since May? That's nothing. I have been waiting for nearly THREE YEARS! That was the ONLY reason why I purchased this miserable product.
