✓
Purpose & Capability
Name/description request Ring device access and the skill requires python3, the ring-doorbell Python library, and ffmpeg — all expected for listing devices, snapshots, and extracting frames from recordings. Required binaries and library are proportional to the stated purpose.
✓
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and ring_tool.py restrict actions to: prompting for Ring credentials/2FA, saving a token to ~/.openclaw/ring_token.json, listing devices, fetching snapshots, and reading event history. The instructions do not access unrelated system paths or external endpoints beyond the Ring APIs/CDN used by the ring-doorbell library.
✓
Install Mechanism
No automated install script is included (instruction-only). It instructs the user to pip install the public ring-doorbell package and to have ffmpeg available — a standard, low-risk approach. No downloads from untrusted URLs or archive extraction occur in the skill itself.
✓
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables and instead prompts interactively for the Ring email/password and 2FA code, then stores an auth token locally at ~/.openclaw/ring_token.json. That behavior is expected and proportionate for a client that needs user credentials; no unrelated secrets or services are requested.
✓
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated system privileges. It persists only its own token and media under ~/.openclaw and does not modify other skills or system-wide configurations. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other red flags here.
Assessment
This skill appears to do what it says: it will ask you for your Ring email, password, and 2FA code and save a refreshable token to ~/.openclaw/ring_token.json and images to ~/.openclaw/media/ring/. Before installing: 1) verify you trust the skill/source (owner/homepage are not provided here); 2) install the ring-doorbell package from a trusted PyPI source and ensure ffmpeg is from your package manager; 3) understand that providing credentials grants the skill access to your Ring account via the saved token — revoke/delete ~/.openclaw/ring_token.json if you want to remove that access; 4) review the included ring_tool.py code (visible) if you have further concerns. If you do not trust the unknown publisher, avoid entering credentials or run the tool in an isolated environment.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

Ring Doorbell & Camera Control

Monitor and control Ring devices from your AI assistant.

Features

  • 📷 Capture snapshots from any Ring camera or doorbell
  • 📋 List all devices with battery status
  • 📹 View recent doorbell events and motion history
  • 🔋 Monitor battery levels

Setup

1. Install Dependencies

pip3 install ring-doorbell

Note: ffmpeg is required for video frame extraction on some doorbell models.

2. Authenticate

First time setup requires authentication with 2FA:

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py auth

Token will be saved to ~/.openclaw/ring_token.json and auto-refresh.

Usage

List All Devices

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py list

Returns JSON with device name, type, battery level, and online status.

Capture Snapshot

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py snapshot "前门门铃"

Device name supports partial/fuzzy match. Returns path to saved image.

View Recent Events

python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py events --limit 10
python3 <skill_dir>/ring_tool.py events --device "车库门铃"

When to Use This Skill

  • "看一下前门的摄像头"
  • "拍一张后院的照片"
  • "门铃最近有没有人按？"
  • "所有设备电量多少？"
  • "车库门摄像头状态"

Notes

  • Token auto-refreshes; re-run auth if it expires
  • Snapshots require device to be online
  • Some doorbell models may not support live snapshot (uses video frame instead)
  • Images saved to ~/.openclaw/media/ring/
