Ring: Snapshot as Live View so Camera doesn’t say Not Responding

[donavanbecker]

Have you thought about this any further? Anyway you could implement this? Until live view is figured out, unless you are close to getting live view to work?

@d0n4v4nb3ck3r I think this is a good idea, but I have not put any time toward it yet. I've been focused on 2fa and getting my Ring debug environment set up a little better. I'm getting close to done with both of those and then I can do a little investigation toward snapshots for live view.

Real live view is completely possible, but requires a ton of work unless someone can recommend a good library that has done most of the heavy lifting. I'm not currently planning to work on it any time soon.

@dgreif I totally understand, wish I knew how to code so that I could help you! Thanks for everything you have done!

@dgreif does something like jssip not offer the functionality you need?

[dgreif]

@ifeign just started digging into jssip and found this gem... https://github.com/versatica/JsSIP/issues/571. Looks like that one is off the table. There are still a few others I can try

Haha wow, people got heated over that.

@dgreif how about sip.js?

[dgreif]

@omerdn1 unfortunately that one uses websockets as the transport (instead of UDP), which does not work with the Ring SIP servers. There are some threads/forks by people who have tried to add UDP but it all looks pretty stale.

I'm currently playing around with the sip module and having some limited success 😶. I actually got a successful connection between the Blink client for windows and my Ring camera today (audio only), so that is a huge step in the right direction. I'm trying to recreate that scenario with the sip module and running into a weird response from the ring server. I can talk to it, it's just telling me it doesn't like my request. The sip module is actually making the whole process more complicated, so I might just start throwing straight UDP messages at the server and not use any sip library.

Once sip is figured out, it's a matter of getting RTP to connect to homebridge/HomeKit. That part _looks_ easy, but could be a whole separate hurtle. I don't want to get everyone's hopes up, but it is looking _possible_ at this point. 🤞No promises...but for now I'm going to close this issue in favor of #35 since that's where I'm focusing my effort. I will post there if I have any more updates.
