Possible to toggle lighting via smart button?
I have a Ring transformer and bridge to control some landscape lighting. Using the app to toggle the lights or establish a schedule is fine. However, I would like to have a physical button that I can use to turn the lights on and off at any time. Is it possible to link the transformer to a smart button like Flic or Hue?

@dill I was thinking the same thing. I own 3 Hue Smart Buttons and would like to control all my outdoor Ring smart path lights and Ring spotlights with the Hue Smart buttons through IFTTT. Currently I use my Ring cameras to turn on my Hue bulbs, but sometimes, when the neighbors let their dogs go in my yard, it would be nice to be able to turn on the Ring path lights and spotlights without having to use the slow smart phone method. https://ifttt.com/ring By the time you bring up the app, the dog walkers are already gone from that part of my yard. A physical button even with IFTTT delay would still be faster than the phone method. You might want to check IFTTT for the FLIC button. They may have a recipe for that button, but they don't have a trigger for the Hue Smart button yet.

I have Flic buttons and they can control the lights via Alexa routines.

Hi @dill. While we don't have a physical button that can be added to the Ring Bridge to turn the lights on or off, that is a great suggestion. As we value our neighbors' feedback, we've created a [Feature Request](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/idb-p/Feature_Request_Board) board. Feel free to add this and any future feature requests there. This will help us to organize and share your requests with our teams here, as well as allow other neighbors to comment and add interest, all in one place. Feel free to link that post you make in the Feature Request board here so other neighbors that come to this thread can easily find your feature! :)
