Geofencing mode
Is there an automatic way to turn on alarm when we are away from home with location? as for google nest? There is away mode?

Got to say that I fully agree. This seems like a no brainer considering virtually all competitor products do this. It was such a no brainer that I saw the modes and stupidly assumed that this would use geofencing. If I had looked closer, there is no way that I would have purchased them. Even a

DTIsn’t it frustrating? It always seems the people who make the most money do the worst job. It’s ridiculous that a company of this notoriety would not have something so simple and obvious like geofencing built in from almost the start. It’s been what... 6+ years now they’ve been selling these things?

HAgree. How will you communicate when this is on the roadmap? Either native or IFTT? I migrated from nest but have to say I regret it a little. Of course I didn't do my homework but it seem So incredibly obvious to have geofencing ?

Hi,I am on the trial of the alarm system, but i find it ridiculous that this is not included, at least to set the alarm system. THe amount of times i have left and forgot to set the alarm, makes it kind of useless! Silly that such an advanced system does not have such a basic feature. Even a prompt when you leave/come back to arm/disarm would be helpful. They could utilize the 2 factor security built into phones to ensure it is not misused!

DGeofencing makes sense to do and should have been part of the introduction of the modes feature. If you work at Ring and use your own product, you’d agree. Rather than deal with upset customer feedback, Ring should announce that they will add the feature and an approximate date. Be bold. Have happy

RI too feel duped by the lack of this obvious need. Like most of you its pretty much too late to go back now, but 2 stars is the highest review they will get from me for a long time. Their 2 factor requirement is also very slow to respond as compared to others. They are clearly making a product that

SLike others, i didn't even research whether geofencing was a feature as I'd assumed it would be with a Smart system. I do find it frustrating that Ring responses come when there is a blurb to cut/paste into a reply, but when the question or suggestion is more involved there is silence. What is the

MSo here I was, just starting to regret my massive outlay, purchasing a “premium smart” multi camera and doorbell system for not having basic geofencing support, when Ring pops up in my inbox, asking me if I’d like to give them even more money each month.\\No! \\Honestly Ring, I thought I was alone i

It would be so awesome if ring would create geofencing or the ability to set a schedule For recording not just alerts. I love my ring products and don’t want to switch. But when can we expect geofencing?

Agreed. I just purchased an indoor cam as a trial to see how it compares with my Amazon Cams, as I want to have everything in one ecosystem (I already have the Ring doorbell). Imagine my surprise to find that there is no automatic geofencing home/away feature to turn my indoor cam off (well, stop recording, anyway) when I am home. This is like an industry standard at this point. Come on.

MAgree with everyone here. Just purchased Ring and had assumed that as both my heating and lighting systems have been successfully doing geofencing for multiple people in my house for years, that a leading smart company would already have the functionality in their system too. Come on Ring. I’m a bit

JSaying it is "resolved" is a stretch as well. This is not resolved either. You work for Jeffy? not sure by the tone of your response if you are being sarcastic or a defender of Ring here? > @Eagle328 wrote: > Resolved should say. This is all we can say right now. So, there is no Geofencing at

Why an earth would you not include geofencing on a 'smart' alarm system? I have a Canary camera which i brought years ago and that does a really good job of arming/disarming it's self when i leave home. It just works without me thinking about it, which is what your alarm should do to avoid the problem where you might forget to arm it, making it completely useless.
