At this moment, there is no official Ring app for Homey. While we are working with Ring on making this happen, in the meantime there is a workaround available using IFTTT and Homey Webhooks.
Creating a Flow with Webhooks
- In the Homey Web App, navigate to
Flow
and selectNew Flow
. - Add a When card → select
Logic
→Webhook event has been received.
- In the
Event
field, type a unique phrase, such asring
. - Hover over the
i
icon, and copy the URL displayed there. - The URL should look like this:
https://5edb9248470f0276f4b63151.homey.eu-central-1.homeycloud.net/webhook/?event=my_event&tag=my_tag
- Replace
my_event
withring
and remove&tag=my_tag
. - The final URL should look like this:
https://5edb9248470f0276f4b63151.homey.eu-central-1.homeycloud.net/webhook/?event=ring
- Copy this URL, you will need it for your IFTTT applet.
- Finally, add the When-cards you want to start when someone rings the doorbell. For example, play a sound on a Sonos speaker, create a Timeline notification, flash the lights, etc. That's up to you!
Creating a new IFTTT Applet
- If you don't have an IFTTT account, visit
ifttt.com

ifttt.com/create
to create a new applet.
- Under
If This
, search forRing
and selectNew Ring Detected
. - Under
Then That
, search forWebhooks
and selectMake a web request
