Integrating RING Devices to the Lutron App

Section (3):  How to Link Ring to the Lutron App                    
Section (4):  How to Program Ring Cameras to activate lights in the Lutron App

Section (1):  Feature Overview

  1. ​You can configure your Ring devices to turn on selected Lutron lighting zones when the Ring device detects motion, or the doorbell is pressed.
    1. Motion events and doorbell presses can control separate lighting zones (ex. Motion events turn on external lights, doorbell press turns on foyer light)
    2. You can specify that Ring events will only turn lights on "at night" (after sunset, but before sunrise)
    3. You can also manually disable and re-enable a previous programmed Ring event.
  2. ​Ring events will always send Lutron lighting zones to 100% brightness when triggered (on level is not configurable)
  3. Lighting zones which have been turned on due to a Ring event will always return to their previous level after 15 minutes (return level and 15 min timeout are not configurable)
    1. If the zone level changes within that 15 minute window (timeclock, button press, any other user action), then the timeout is canceled.​



Section (2):  System Requirements

Ring security device are NOT SUPPORTED

Network Requirements:

  1. At configuration time (initial linking of Lutron and Ring accounts & programming which Ring devices control which lighting zones), the mobile app MUST have an internet connection and the hub MUST have an internet connection.
  2. At runtime (doorbell rings or motion events actually turning on lights), the hub and Ring device MUST have an internet connection.

  1. When you click on any of the above options, you will be able to set up Lutron programming for your Ring devices. In these screens, you can choose which lights to turn on for the associated Ring device and whether this programming should happen all the time or whether it should only be effective at night.

    NOTE: To save changes, you will want to tap on Save in the top right corner.
