No. Ring does not support Apple HomeKit – not natively, not officially, not even a little bit. Amazon bought Ring in 2018, and Amazon and Apple are direct competitors in the smart home space. HomeKit integration was never going to happen, and it still hasn’t.
If you want Ring in your HomeKit setup, you have one real option: Homebridge, a third-party bridge that connects unsupported devices to HomeKit. It works, but it requires a bit of setup and an always-on machine to run on. More on that below.
Why Ring Won’t Support HomeKit
Ring is an Amazon company. Amazon has its own smart home ecosystem built around Alexa. Apple’s HomeKit is a competing platform. These companies have no interest in making each other’s products easier to use.
Ring has been asked about HomeKit support repeatedly since Amazon acquired them. The answer has always been silence or deflection. There is no roadmap, no announcement, no hint that it’s coming. Assume it isn’t.
Matter – the cross-platform smart home standard backed by Apple, Google, Amazon, and others – seemed like it might change this. Ring does not have any officially certified Matter-compatible devices as of 2026. Amazon is a Matter member, but Ring hasn’t shipped Matter support on cameras or doorbells. Even if they did, Matter camera support in HomeKit is limited to specific streaming standards Ring would need to implement separately.
What Ring Does Work With
Ring works well with Amazon Alexa (obviously – same company) and reasonably well with Google Home. That covers most non-Apple households.
With Alexa, you get motion announcements, live view on Echo Show devices, arm/disarm for Ring Alarm, and routine triggers off Ring motion events. It’s the tightest integration Ring offers.
With Google Home, you get live view and motion notifications. Not as deep as Alexa, but functional.
Ring’s subscription plans (renamed January 2026) are: Solo at $4.99/month covering one device, Multi at $9.99/month covering all devices at one location, and AI Pro at $19.99/month which adds professional monitoring and AI-powered alerts. You need at least the Solo plan to unlock video recording and history.
Getting Ring Into HomeKit With Homebridge
Homebridge is open-source software that acts as a bridge between non-HomeKit devices and Apple’s Home app. The homebridge-ring plugin (maintained by dgreif on GitHub) handles Ring cameras, doorbells, the Ring Alarm system, and Ring Smart Lighting. As of mid-2025 it was still receiving updates, which is a good sign for an unofficial plugin.
What you get through Homebridge: motion sensors, contact sensors, live view (via Scrypted for full HomeKit Secure Video), alarm arm/disarm, and automation triggers in the Home app. What you don’t get: the same reliability as a natively supported device. Ring can change its API at any time and break the plugin. It’s happened before. Go in with realistic expectations.
You’ll need a machine to run Homebridge on – a Raspberry Pi, old Mac mini, or always-on PC. If that machine goes offline, your Ring devices disappear from HomeKit.
How to Add Ring to Apple HomeKit via Homebridge
Install Homebridge
Download and install Homebridge from homebridge.io. Official installers are available for Raspberry Pi, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Run through the setup wizard to get the Homebridge UI running.
Install the homebridge-ring plugin
In the Homebridge UI, go to Plugins and search for “homebridge-ring”. Install the plugin by dgreif. This is the most actively maintained Ring plugin for Homebridge.
Authenticate with your Ring account
After installation, the plugin configuration screen will open. Enter your Ring account email and password. Ring uses two-factor authentication – you will receive a code via SMS or email to complete the login.
Save and restart Homebridge
Save the plugin configuration and restart Homebridge using the restart button in the top-right of the dashboard. The plugin will connect to Ring and pull in your devices.
Add the Homebridge bridge to Apple Home
Open the Apple Home app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the + button and select Add Accessory. Scan the QR code shown in the Homebridge UI under the Homebridge tab. Your Ring devices will appear in the Home app within a few seconds.
If HomeKit Cameras Are a Priority, Consider These Instead
If you are all-in on Apple HomeKit and want cameras that just work without a bridge device, Ring is the wrong choice. These brands offer native HomeKit support:
- Arlo – Pro series cameras support HomeKit Secure Video natively. Strong image quality, comparable price range to Ring.
- Eufy – Good value HomeKit cameras with local storage options. No subscription required for basic recording.
- Logitech Circle View – Designed specifically for HomeKit Secure Video. Wired, reliable, no bridge needed.
For the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus – Ring’s current mid-range video doorbell – see it on Amazon here. It’s a solid doorbell. Just don’t expect it in your Home app without Homebridge.
