Doorbell doesn't appear with shared user account about ring HOT 6 CLOSED

@tsightler glad to see you are adding cameras! I have been debating a name change as well for the same reasons. As for the shared doorbell, I think you stumbled on an area I need some slight improvements. The ring_devices endpoint returns doorbots, stickup_cams and a third array that I have so far been ignoring called authorized_doorbots. I am guessing the shared doorbells show up in that third array. I've pushed a change to https://github.com/dgreif/ring-alarm/tree/authorized-doorbots which should add that last camera in for you if my theory is correct. Would you mind pulling that branch and hacking up the examples/example.ts file to test it out? You can run the example with npx ts-node ./examples/example.ts.

If you confirm it works, I'll merge that branch and cut a release. Thanks for your continued investment in the Ring OSS community 😄

@dgreif you are too fast! I'll admit I probably spent too much time figuring out how to clone a branch and get compiled Javascript from the Typescript source, but once I got past that it worked perfectly. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

I've already managed to get crude camera support working, so now I just need to clean that up and work on some of the cooler features, like adding camera snapshot support via MQTT.

@tsightler glad it worked! Version 3.6.0 released. Sorry about the typescript stuff, it's great when you are used to it, but definitely extra work if you are used to vanilla js. I hope your additions for MQTT go well. I've got snapshots tuned pretty well at this point. Let me know if you run into any issues or need anything else added to the API.

Ha, no sweat on the typescript stuff, I mostly hack around on this stuff to learn a little about coding so it was a learning experience, it wasn't really that difficult, just got spoiled to the fact that when I do npm from the master branch it "just works".

@tsightler just to make you aware, Ring is enabling sharing access to the ring smart lights. I am not sure if you had issues with that at all with your shared account or not. But got an email back from the head of the ring smart lights department and they enabled it for me already and are enabling everyone else this week he said.

Current code doesn't have any support for smart lights, and I don't own any, so it's mostly irrelevant to me at this point.

I am marginally interested in the path lights, but being battery powered does't get me too excited about them when I can buy much cheaper wired ones and turn them on/off with a $10 wifi switch.
