One Ring — Ring Dashboard Live Reconnect Chrome extension security report

Ring's web dashboard drops live camera streams regularly — WebRTC timeouts, network hiccups, or idle disconnects. Every time, you have to manually find and click "Reconnect." If you're watching multiple cameras, each tile can fail independently, making it a constant chore. One Ring — Ring Dashboard Live Reconnect does one job well: when Live View drops and Ring shows Reconnect, it finds those controls on account.ring.com and activates them like a steady pair of hands—so you're not chained to the tab. It's built for Ring's real dashboard (including busy multi-camera layouts), with per-tile awareness, quick follow-up passes after a reconnect, optional sleep windows for battery-powered cameras, and smart backoff when the network's truly down. It's engineered for deeper integration with Ring's web Live View than typical autoclick-style extensions—so reconnects are more likely to stick on real multi-camera dashboards, without turning this listing into an engineering spec. HOW IT WORKS • Watches the dashboard for Reconnect controls as they appear and reappear after drops. • Fires clicks in a way Ring's own Live View flow can respond to—not a brittle "random click" hack. • Tracks each camera tile independently so one tile never blocks another. • After reconnecting a tile, rescans on a short cadence to catch neighbors that dropped at the same time. • Works on single-camera and multi-camera dashboard layouts. SLEEP SCHEDULE Click the extension icon to set per-day sleep windows (e.g. weeknights 11 PM – 7 AM). During those hours, auto-reconnect pauses so battery-powered cameras can rest and conserve power. Each day of the week can be configured independently with minute-level precision. Disabled by default — enable it if you need it. RETRY LIMIT If reconnection keeps failing (e.g. no internet), the extension automatically pauses after a configurable number of attempts and waits before trying again. Both the attempt limit and wait duration are adjustable from the popup. No more pointless button-spamming when connectivity is down. STATUS ICON The toolbar icon changes color so you know what's happening at a glance: • Green ring — all cameras connected • Red ring — camera disconnected, actively reconnecting • Yellow ring — paused (sleep schedule active or retry backoff) WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No data collection — the extension never reads or sends your video streams, credentials, or personal information. • No network requests — it only interacts with DOM elements on Ring's page. • No background processes — it only runs when you have a Ring tab open. • Minimal storage — only saves your sleep schedule and retry limit preferences. Nothing else is stored. CONFIGURATION Power users can adjust detection selectors, cooldown timings, and polling intervals by editing content.js. See the project README for details. TROUBLESHOOTING Open DevTools Console and filter for "[ring-auto-reconnect]" to see exactly what the extension is doing. All actions are logged with the trigger reason, camera tile ID, and element reference. If Ring updates their UI and buttons stop being detected, right-click the Reconnect button, choose Inspect, and update the selector in content.js.
