Support of Modes via Alexa Ring Skill without Ring Alarm
Please add the capability to the Alexa Ring Skill to be able to change modes without requiring Ring Alarm. I own a number of Ring Cameras (Indoor and outdoor) as well as Doorbell Pro. I use modes in the Ring App to change to away/home/disarmed. I do not have Ring Alarm. However, there is no way to be able to have Alexa change the mode of my Ring System (since I do not have Ring Alarm). Also, there should be a away to add an Alexa Routine action targeting the Ring System (without Ring Alarm) and allow routines to change modes. This would be specially helpful such as when a routine is triggered upon Guard Activation to switch the Ring mode to Away, etc.. Such an action cannot be against a single Smart Home Device Camera, etc.. it must be addressed against something central like a Device representing the Ring Account, etc.. (I suppose similar to Ring Alarm - but when Ring Alarm is not used by customer). Thank you.

Agreed, this feature is a must, otherwise the alexa skill is essentially useless to a lot of Ring users.

Yes, would really like the option to disarm ring before I take the dog out, no time to fumble for my phone and disarm. Especially for my family, easier to ask Alexa to disarm, then speak a code or something. If a simple low cost bridge were available to add without buying the security system that might be ok too, but it should be native to the Alexa skill.

Ditto!!! I don't want to have to set multipole things to away when I'm trying to leave my house. especially considering Amazon owns both of these company's, we should be able to do it with out adding the alarm.

Please look at implementing this some of us have no option to get the ring alarm due to not being in america so having to change the ring mode manually in the app every time you want to change it is painful, would be awesome to allow it in alexa or some other method.

I have a number of Ring cameras both indoor and outdoor. I do not use Ring Alarm. I enabled modes and all works fine with the app. I would like to toggle mode using Alexa instead of just using the app. Since I do not use Ring Alarm and just want to toggle modes via the Ring skill with Alexa, is it possible to do this and how? At least verbally, but I would love to be able to do the same via Alexa routines as well.
