I got an H100 hub because I wanted an additional doorbell chime on another floor. Decided to Experiment with local smart action. First tried turning on a light when doorbell button is pushed; smart action worked but it was not local. Then I tried the H100 Ring event/trigger thinking that it rings when doorbell button is pushed. This automation is local, but does not work. What exactly is the Ring event then, if not ringing due to doorbell?
Doorbell is not a supported device for local smart.
When the hub is chosen as an automation Trigger and set to Ring, it literally means hub ringing -- 'When the hub starts ringing, then xxx'.
To add another chime for the Tapo doorbell, you can do this directly through doorbell settings: doorbell Device Settings page > Doorbell > Paired Chime.
Thanks, I actually assumed that is why the doorbell automation was not local, which is why I tried the Hub Ring trigger, which did not work… Doorbell button pushed, Hub ringing, Nothing happens. Replace Hub Ring event with doorbell button pushed, and smart action works.
