Ring: Support for "Works with Ring" Devices

[parchmaf]

Ring Alarm support a lot of "Works with Ring" z wave devices. I added a GE Outdoor smart switch for Christmas Lights. It work fine through the Ring app but it is not presented Homebridge.
In addition, I have a Ring Access Controller. Is there any way that can be added? I open there gate from the camera that is viewing the gate. I had to call in to activate there RAC and they specified the camera to put the switch on. I would think that I would have 1 extra switch for the gate as a grouped accessory for that camera. No? At least that's how I would expect it to work.
I'm happy to help in any way. Thanks!@

The plugin does support most z-wave devices connected through the Ring Alarm. If your GE smart switch isn't showing up, then it may not yet be supported. I'd be happy to add support if you can follow the directions here: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/wiki/Data-Discovery

Regarding the Ring Access Controller, I've done quite a bit of investigation and determined that it wouldn't be a good idea to add support in this plugin. Full explanation here: https://github.com/dgreif/ring/issues/384#issuecomment-660169540

Out of curiosity, do you have the first generation (14284) or the second generation (14298)?

I’ve used a 14284 via this plugin in HomeKit for more than a year; I’m curious what might be different in your install. The Data Discovery page @dgreif linked above describes how to provide additional device information needed to debug and add support for devices.
