  Home means your permimeter sensors are armed. So open a door or window will set off the alarm. You need to disarm before you open anything. Away would mean motion detectors are armed.

  Yes, I am aware what the two modes are. Here is the use case, I leave for work in the morning but my wife is still home. I would like to leave the house in home mode since she is still in the house.

  Ok, you would need to make sure the device sensor is listed as the main door in the base settings and not a window. Then you can set a delay so you have time to exit before it turns that door's sensor on. Here's how to set the delay. To arm your system using the keypad: - Enter your user code. - Press the Home Mode button or Away Mode button. When you have changed your mode, your system will begin a timed countdown before arming itself. This is called an "Exit Delay," and it gives you time to leave your home before the system arms itself. This system can be set to Home mode with a delay time ranging from 0 to 180 seconds or Away Mode which can be set between 30 and 180 seconds. To configure your exit delay: - Tap the three-lined icon on the upper left-hand side of your screen. - Tap Location Settings. - Tap Modes. - Tap "Home" or "Away." - Tap "Exit Delay." - Set the exit delay for the amount of time you wish.

  Hi all...sorry for a newbie question but I don't see "Modes" under Location Settings for my Ring. Very much anticipating this new feature. Dave.

  Do you have an alarm Base station setup? Modes only work with alarm, not cameras.

  Typically you want a zero second delay when in Home mode. You want the alarm to go off immediately, not have to wait the default 15 or 30 seconds (Ring needs to fix this and make shorter times like 5 or 10 seconds for "Away" mode BTW). Why would you not simply disarm the system from your phone, exit the house and arm it again once you close the door?
