Ring Alarm
Disarm/arm Ring Alarm based on time
Hello Ring Community! I’ve been searching through posts trying to find an answer to my issue with the Ring alarm. I really hope the feature is available, and that I’m just totally missing it, to arm and disarm the Ring alarm by the time. I really need it to set at 11:30pm and disarm at 5:30AM. Lately I’ve been up later than my kids and they’re setting it off! Hoping you all may have solutions for me. One thing I did try was an Alexa routine...epic fail!! Only work 10% of the time. That Alexa is a very finicky woman!!! ?

This is eay to do with Simple Commands by kloee ( Free app) or with Amazon Alexa if you want to get an Echo

JThank you for the response @LSchaub. I’ve tried Alexa. It works 10% of the time. I’m interested in trying out Simple Commands. I’ll check that out! Thank you!

LI use Alexa routines to Arm/disarm my Ring every night/moning by voice but use Alexa routines to turn on/off several Tula plug controlled lights by Alexa timer. Also use Simple Commands by kloee to detect Ring "alarming" to turn on ights and auxiliary siren. Have not seen a single failure in the four months that I set it up. Since Alexa and some or all of these devices use wifi to communicate, maybe your wifi is "spotty" in some parts of ypur house. There are free Android/IOS apps that check wifi signal strength. I used one to find out that I did not have enough wifi signal to operate a smart light at the far end of my basement

JVery good suggestions. The issue I have with Alexa is the disarming. She’s great arming but the code makes her unable to disarm. Is there a specific phrase you use to disarm? I’ve trying spacing it out a bit and even creating a separate phrase to time it properly. Worked a couple of times but too unreliable and my son was setting the alarm off every morning since he’s the first one up. Just signed up with Simple Commands. It too did not disarm this morning. Seems like such a simple thing to have done yet impossible for me to do so. ?

I just tested this and it worked. Set up a routine in Simple Commands by kloee to disarm ring. No other actions or any triggers. Create a routine in Alexa with a time scheduled and set the Simple Command routine in the Alexa routine as a "Scene". My test worked just fine. I don't personally have the need to arm/disarm Ring on a schedule but I was sure there was a way to do it. Actually, I might set up a routine to arm Ring in case I forget to do it at bedtime. As a side note, Simple Commands by kloee has the ability to recognize when Ring is the "alarming" state and I use that trigger to activate all of my Tula smart plug controlled lights and auxiliary siren. If you do not define a trigger in SC routines, you can embed them into Alexa routines. If you define triggers, they will function autonomously and control any Alexa compatible devices. I find that S.C. by kloee adds a great deal of functionality to both Ring and Alexa

JThank you! I’m not quite convinced With SimpleCommands. Arming works but disarming does not. Found out the hard way again. My family wants to strangle me! I have tech support looking into it. Maybe they can fit it out. I’m a little concerned putting my Ring info into SimpleCommands as well. Free service and all. Anyone else feel a little uneasy?

DHello, I'm trying to set this up as well so that I can automate arming Ring or turn it off. I have my Ring, Hue, and SmartThings accounts linked to SimpleCommands. I can see both Ring cameras and their status in SimpleCommands. However, when adding a Routine, I don't see either Ring camera in the list of actions. Is that where it should be listed? Thanks

EI just looked at my simple commands app. It only has my alarm and chimes available as part of a routine. I mainly use it to arm and disarm my alarm by times. What are you trying to do with your cams? I may know a way to do what you're looking for.

KYes, a free third-party is suspicious. Software costs money, so what is their source? I've recommended we explore a class action against ring to get this resolved. If the community bands together the feature can obviously be introduced to base stations.

EIt's not possible at this time. Hopefully they add this feature. You may be able to do it with another app like IFFT or such. But it's not a simple thing as if Alexa was to do it.

YStill waiting for the feature: arm/disarm by time Yelling at Alexa, going through SimpleCommands or other routines just creates additional vulnerability points. ADT had a bad interface, but the functionality was there to create simpple conditional rules: R1: When Disarmed, Arm "At Home" at 10pm R2: When Armed "At Home", Disarm at 6am Most importantly, when armed "Away", the above rules don't trigger, so you can go on vacation and leave the system in "Away" mode for several days.

This is a necessary feature. I have sensors on 5 external doors. During the day when the house is active with family my phone goes nuts with Ring alerts. Every time a door opens. Alert. A door closes. Alert. I often find my phone has vibrated itself off the desk. It lies on the floor as if laughing at all the alerts from Ring. Even my phone knows this is wrong. We need a way to silence door sensors just as we have with Ring cameras. Fix this soon!

Hello @Jbros55 ! At this time Alarm mode scheduling is not a supported feature. I'll be happy to share this with the team to reinforce the value behind it, as other neighbors have also shared interest in this. Thank you for checking and sharing with the Community! :)
