Automations — Real Mode
Route: /automations · Component: components/automations/ring-automations-view.tsx (Real Mode; components/pages/AutomationsPage.tsx keeps the Demo view) · Data: GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/matan/rules, GET/PUT /api/matan/care, GET /api/ring/events?range=7d
In Real Mode the automations are Matan's Smart Rules. Every Ring event is analyzed by Nova, then evaluated against the rules in a fixed precedence; the resulting decision (Ignore / Monitor / Notify / Escalate) and the ids of the rules that matched are stored on the event, and Notify/Escalate trigger the email alert. So this page's run counts and activity log are derived from the user's real events — the Demo page's sample automations (shared store, simulated "turn on lights" actions, invented run counters) are never shown in Real Mode.
How it works
Rendering diagram…- Matches in the last 7 days for a rule = number of events (last 7 days) whose stored decision lists that rule in
matchedRuleIds; last = the newest such event. - Rule activity = every decision that matched at least one rule, newest first, with the outcome (action + whether an email was sent and by which provider) and a link to the event.
- Rules are evaluated only while Care Context is on; the page shows a callout with a one-click switch when it is off.

Future integrations shown on this page
- Device actions (lights, siren, locks) — the Ring API exposes capability values read-only and no control endpoints.
- Doorbell auto-reply — two-way audio is not exposed to partners.
- Alexa / IFTTT routines — third-party routine triggers are out of scope for this build.
Changes made during the Real Mode audit
- New
RingAutomationsView: Real Mode now renders Smart Rules with real match statistics and an activity log instead of the demo automation store (which is shared across users and simulates actions). RuleEditorexported fromcomponents/care/CareRulesPanel.tsxand reused for create/edit here.- AI Assistant right rail shows the user's Smart Rules (real toggles) in Real Mode instead of demo automations.
- Demo Mode page unchanged apart from a fixed Demo badge.
