What is the Ring Smart Lighting Bridge?
The Ring Smart Lighting Bridge connects to the Ring app using your home wifi network. It lets you control whole groups of Smart Lights and other Ring products, and be notified via the Ring app when any light or motion sensor detects movement.
You can use your Ring app to create Groups of Smart Lights and Ring security cameras that work together to enhance security. For example, If you’re subscribed to Ring subscription plan, your Ring video doorbell can start recording video whenever motion is detected by your Spotlight Cam.
The Ring Bridge eliminates the need to purchase an additional bridge device to use Ring Smart Lighting with your video doorbell and security cameras.
