Hello, I want a notification system that if the bell rings than something in an if-statement happens. But the id of the specific device is always hopping to another Ring device (I have 4 of them) example:

while True:
     print(myring.doorbells[3].id)

outputs: d8a98b6fcxxx 90e202938xxx d8a98b6fcxxx a810874d5xxx a810874d5xxx d8a98b6fcxxx 90e202938xxx 90e202938xxx a810874d5xxx

but i'd need that index [3] IS and STAYS the same id to fit the if-statement...

thank you

I made it to work by myself by editing line 232 (method called __devices) to

            if device_type == 'doorbells':
                req = self.query(url).get('doorbots')
                for member in list((obj['description'] for obj in req)):
                    lst.append(RingDoorBell(self,member))
                if len(lst) == < ENTER YOUR AMOUNT OF DOORBELLS>:
                    lst = sorted(lst, key=lambda x: x.id)
                    
                # get shared doorbells, however device is read-only
                req = self.query(url).get('authorized_doorbots')
                for member in list((obj['description'] for obj in req)):
                    lst.append(RingDoorBell(self, member, shared=True))

now the Doorbells get assigned the same index every time!

@nuketownhf can you send a PR with your solution please?

Hello, I can't do a PR at the moment as the versions have been changed.

You just need to sort the list of the IDs desc or asc so it will be static doorbots[0] will always be the ID 123xxxxxxx whereas doorbots[1] will always be 542xxxxxxx

at the moment I don't know how to do that with this newer version.
