DIY combo turns any TV into a live doorbell monitor with ring-mqtt and PiPup
SeanOliver · x · 2026-11-11
A smart-home DIY combo: since Ring offers no live stream a TV app can play, the author used ring-mqtt to bridge the live view and PiPup to pop it over whatever is on screen.
The popup fires the moment someone rings the doorbell, with video starting 4–5 seconds later — wiring two existing tools into a live doorbell feed Ring doesn't natively support.
