no support.sometimes whe can mess with strangers

This is very niche and will be very hard to do, as you will have to connect doorbells and know every scratchers location, which isn’t good to give out. It is just to complex to do and doesn’t really fit Into scratch due to safety concerns. Sorry

I don't quite understand. Also what if their doorbell is one of those noisy ones and someone does this?

when green flag clicked
forever
Ring doorbell::extension
end

Their parents will probably just ban them from using Scratch.

Also, there's a pretty obvious workaround:

play sound [Doorbell v] until done

press flag at 3:00 am for instant funny

when green flag clicked
repeat (100)
ring doorbell::extension
end

I assume this would only affect your doorbell, right?

Unless the Scratch Team want to hack cameras, NO SUPPORT

Again, I'd assume that you'd have to pair your doorbell up each time you wanted to use a project with it.

Guard? D'you mean like your Scratch projects can summon Armas Gigas when someone is at the front door to open it and ring the doorbell?

keep all posts respectful please
anyway, scratch should be able to have all of its blocks function properly without an internet connection (using the offline editor), and Ring is dependent upon the internet. also, privacy issues, not entirely sure how practical this is but you can feed information from users' doorbells (while the project is running) to other places, including data farms. finally, does ring even have an open api and docs? i feel like it doesn't have developer documentation but it might.

Yeah.

when green flag clicked
forever
ring doorbell
end

And if you're good at scratch, you could make a script that starts when red button clicked, and then make it so that that starts it up again.

No.
Never.

The extension could find the nearest device with the ring app and use it.

Just a reminder that these extensions are already dependent on internet connection in the offline editor:

• Text to Speech

• Translate

• Micro:bit

• LEGO EV3

• BOOST

• WeDo 2.0

• Force and Acceleration

I agree that a doorbell extension is not likely something that will be implemented, but I don't think the main reason is because they require internet connection to work.

No. Just no. This would lead to HUGE privacy data concerns, and would most likely lead to lawsuits.

Can we just put this suggestion to sleep already?

I don't even need to explain why this shouldn't be added!

Please tell me you already know how bad it is to mess with people's doorbells.
