Notifications when someone rings your Ring doorbell
If someone rings the Ring doorbell, we will display a notification on the Brilliant Control that will allow the user to do one of three actions:
- Talk: Talk to a person on the other side of the Doorbell
- Lock/Unlock Door: Lock or unlock a smart lock that is connected to your Brilliant home. Note that supported smart locks are denoted on the Integration Support page
- Dismiss: Dismiss the Notification
Any of Ring's doorbells are supported (hardwired or battery powered) but we do not yet integrate with any of the other accessories.
NOTE: Doorbell notifications only work when the primary Ring account is linked to Brilliant. Shared accounts linked to Brilliant will only have access to Live View.
