  Mine is doing the same thing. And nothing is helping it. Apparently this is a ring product issue because so many ppl are having same issues and keep hearing ring say its a heat source or to adjust light sensor. Mine has nothing by it. Im about ready to get a nest or something cause the constant on off of the lights is getting old.

  Mine has done this since day 1. The light comes on at dusk, and stays on. No motion. If I turn off the light through the app, witching 5 secs to 5 minutes the light will turn back on. I’ve even seen the switch flip to on in the app without me touching it. I finally had to setup a schedule to shut off the light at night. I don’t want this since now even with motion it won’t cover on, but I also don’t want the light on all night. This is a bug and has been complained about for quite a while based on my research. Seems that Ring either doesn’t care, or they can’t find the bug to fix it. I don’t know if the bug is in the app or the the light firmware. Ring - don’t bother trying to tell me to go through settings. I’ve done this multiple times, and I’m tech savvy.

  We have 5 floodlight cams and they worked fine for almost 2 years. Then within a week 2 of them developed the same problem described above: lights stay on all night as long as motion detection enabled. I shut them off with app and they're back on within a few seconds. Tried resetting motion detection, reinstalling, etc. Only solution has been to leave motion detection for the lights off. This seems to be a very common problem!

  A few years ago, many of us had floodlight cams that had lights that would turn itself on every 30 minutes. I saw a few posts on the Community and tried to get people to reply to one post so that I could reference it to Support. Long story short, it took many calls to Support to describe and convince them of the problem. I asked to speak to Level 2 a couple times. They have you do a long list of trouble-shooting and then escalate it. I tried several replacement floodlight cams, but they all had the same issue. I suspect it was a production batch issue. Lots of follow-up emails. The other issue was that these floodlight cams were not taking the regular firmware updates. If I recall correctly, it took 6+ months for them to push out a fix. So, it is very likely that this is a firmware bug and may take some doing to have Ring address.... Good luck.

  Yet another floodlight cam here that constantly cycles itself on and off all through the night. No motion detected by the camera yet the light just keeps on turning on and off. As many have described I can manually turn the light off in the app but within seconds it turns back on. I've adjusted all the recommended settings with no change. Only solution is to deactivate motion sensing for the light which totally defeats the purpose of having it. I note there was a similar thread started some time ago that was shut down by admin with no solution.
