MQTT Device Topics

Topic levels are created using a consistent, predictable format using the following example:
ring/<location_id>/<ring_category>/<device_id>/<device_type>/state
ring/<location_id>/<ring_category>/<device_id>/<device_type>/command
The <ring_category> is either "alarm", "smart_lighting", "camera", or "chime" based on the type of device. Cameras are doorbells, stickup, spotlight or floodlight cams. Alarm devices are any devices connected via the Alarm base station and smart_lighting is any device connected via the smart lighting bridge.
The script monitors hub-based devices (alarm and smart lighting) via the WebSocket connection and uses the automatic 20 status second polling to keep a heartbeat for polled devices (cameras and chimes), automatically updating the online/offline state of the devices based on this connectivity information. As this is device level connectivity is published to "status" at the device_id level:
ring/<location_id>/<product_category>/<device_id>/status
Each device also includes an information sensor that provides various supplemental data for the device in JSON format. The available information varies by device type and includes data such as battery level, tamper status, communication state, volume, Wi-Fi signal strength, and other device specific information. Recent versions also include separate attribute sensors for battery, tamper and wireless status.
For the individual device capabilities, the state and command messages are simple text based values (not JSON), generally using the default values for the equivalent Home Assistant device integration. Some devices have multiple capabilities, such as a multi-level-switch with both on/off and brightness, so they will have a standard state/command topic and an additional topic in the format of _state and _topic. Below is a listing of the supported devices, topics and their supported values.
ring/<location_id>/alarm/<device_id>/alarm/state <-- Alarm arming state
- disarmed
- armed_home
- armed_away
- arming (Exit delay)
- pending (Entry delay)
- triggered (device is in alarm state)
Specific alarm type (fire/police) can be determined from panic switches (if enabled)
or from alarmState attribute in Info sensor
