Need help using api-ring

[multinet33]

Hello

I've installed homebridge UI and homebridge ring pluging : all is OK

I've a token

Now I try to interact with my RING alarm using TS bug I get error when executing sample scripts :

here is a script I want to run :

`import 'dotenv/config'
import { RingApi } from 'ring-client-api'

async function example() {
const { env } = process,
ringApi = new RingApi({
// Replace with your refresh token
refreshToken: "here is my token*",
}),
locations = await ringApi.getLocations(),
location = locations[0],
cameras = await ringApi.getCameras(),
camera = cameras[0]

// Locations API
location.onConnected.subscribe((connected) => {
const state = connected ? 'Connected' : 'Connecting'
console.log(${state} to location ${location.name} - ${location.id})
})

const locationCameraEvents = await location.getCameraEvents({
// same params as camera.getEvents
}),
locationAlarmEvents = await location.getHistory({
limit: 1,
category: 'alarm',
//offset: 100 - number of events to skip over for pagination
}),
locationBeamsEvents = await location.getHistory({
limit: 1,
category: 'beams',
})
console.log('Location Camera Event', locationCameraEvents.events[0])
console.log('Location Alarm Event', locationAlarmEvents[0])
console.log('Location Beams Event', locationBeamsEvents[0])

console.log('Monitoring Status', await location.getAccountMonitoringStatus())

// Camera API
const eventsResponse = await camera.getEvents({
limit: 10,
kind: 'ding',
state: 'accepted',
// olderThanId: previousEventsResponse.meta.pagination_key
// favorites: true
})
console.log('Got events', eventsResponse.events[0])
const eventsWithRecordings = eventsResponse.events.filter(
(event) => event.recording_status === 'ready'
),
transcodedUrl = await camera.getRecordingUrl(
eventsWithRecordings[0].ding_id_str, // MUST use the ding_id_str, not ding_id
{
transcoded: true, // get transcoded version of the video. false by default. transcoded has ring log and timestamp
}
),
untranscodedUrl = await camera.getRecordingUrl(
eventsWithRecordings[0].ding_id_str
)

console.log('Recording Transcoded URL', transcodedUrl)
console.log('Recording Untranscoded URL', untranscodedUrl)
}

example()
`

and that is the error I get :

root@odroid-stretch64:~# tsc api-example.ts
node_modules/@homebridge/camera-utils/lib/return-audio-transcoder.d.ts:3:38 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'homebridge' or its corresponding type declarations.

Found 2 errors.

Can you help me

Thanks a lot

Could you elaborate on your current setup for running the example? Did you clone the dgreif/ring project, or install ring-client-api via npm?

Hello, thank you for your reply

I've done an install via npm ring-client-api

My setup : odroid C2 with Linux odroid-stretch64 3.16.85+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 30 19:02:35 CEST 2020 aarch64

I've installed succesfully on it homebridge with the UX interface that I can access wia my browser

On homebridge I've installed successfully the RING plugin for homebrige and i've have a working token. When I open the door, homebridge ring plugin show me that the door is open.

Now I want to arm/disarm my ring alam by script (in order to automate that from domoticz). To do that I tried to use the TS but I get the error I report on my first message.

For the moment I can arm/disarm via a curl command like this : curl -X PUT http://192.168.1.156:51728/characteristics --header "Content-Type:Application/json" --header "authorization: HID-DD-EN" --data "{"characteristics":[{"aid":2,"iid":11,"value":1}]}"

Thanks for you patience and your help :)

I'd recommend using ts-node api-example.ts instead of tsc if you want to run the example this way. You can install ts-node with npm i -g ts-node. If you continue to have issues, it's probably a lot easier to stick with curling the homebridge endpoint as you demonstrated

@Leo7Deng check out https://github.com/dgreif/ring-client-example, which has a full example of how to use the client. You can fork from this example and change example.ts to suite your needs
