Product Feature Suggestion IFTTT
IFTTT is a great tool for creating "no code" home automation. I think there would be a HUGE use case for having Mode-Change as a trigger for IFTTT Applets. - Use cases as shown below could include better security, energy savings, and many more. >Example Use Cases: **IF** Ring-Mode changed to [*Disarmed/Home/Away*], **THEN** [*Activate/Deactivate*] device [ *Outdoor Lights / Radiators Blink-cameras / Away-mode Light Randomizer Script / Stop Robot Vacuum Moving...* ] **Segmentation:** As part of the Eco-system, there may be concerns from a business strategy, that using IFTTT would enable users to cross-market segments on video-camera systems (e.g. mixing Ring with Blink). As a customer, I do not think this is the case as staying within the Ring Eco-system provides better functionality than the price-difference (e.g. triggering an alarm due to video, or viewing video from one central App). **Eco:** There are already a number of solutions to save energy when the home is vacant. However, there are too many means to trigger them. Remembering to turn on the home-alarm system is generally more of a priority and hence a sound starting point for vacant home energy savings. **Improved Security:** Enabling lighting (or lighting patterns) is one example of increasing the security of the home. Whether it is improving Ring Camera visibility, acting as a deterrent to opportunists, or simulating a non-vacant home. Again as above, it would make sense to have this triggered by Disarmed/Armed. Furthermore, homes have triggered automation (e.g. robotic vacuums, pet management, ...) that could be better managed to reduce the likelihood of a false alarm. As a product manager myself, I love the bridge between cool tech and users. I am not so concerned if Ring believes this suggestion to be valid or prioritized in any way. But I always like to hear how other Product Managers see input from their perspective. *So if you have a moment from your busy schedules, then I would love to hear back!*
