    Integration with Alexa to auto-lock the doors when setting the alarm (via alexa only right now).

      I love my Alexa integration! I have the Echo Show. Is that the same one you have @SonofLiberty82 ?

      No but I wish I did! I have several dots and a echo plus. They work great for announcements and automations. Hopefully I can get a show sometime to test how that works with the doorbell and cameras!

    If Ring would integrate with my Nest thermostats to set home and away mode, I would absolutely dump my other security system. Right now running both. The wife arms them as she is leaving, but with four Nest thermostats, she never remembers home/away. That feature saves me a lot of money since we are gone for long periods.

      I'd love to see Ring/Amazon put away the pettiness re: Google and support Chromecast for accessing Live Video and Motion/Doorbell activity. If this list of mainly economy-grade vendors can support video casting, then its obvious there is no technical reason that Ring/Amazon cannot: - Arlo - atomi smart - Geeni - homee Smart Home - mydlink Smart - ioe smart - iView iHome - KAFO Smart - Logi Circle - MCL DOMO - Momentum Smart Home - Nest - Netatmo - Panasonic HomeHawk - Q-See Plus - Smart K - Swann Smart Security Camera - TP-Link Kasa - Tuya Smart, Smart Life - Zmodo - SpotCam

        Ring and August locks would be very useful since it was announced at CES in January. I do like that Alexa integrates with both so when I set my Alarm to Home, Alexa will remind me of what locks I have open

      I would like to see better integration with Smartthings, for instance, when arm ring as away, turn off all lights, set thermostat to away.

        I have a number of battery operated cameras - I would love the Alexa reminders to tell me when a battery is low and needs to be changed
