Ring Security Cameras
Cannot enable/disable motion detection via alexa
How do I turn on/off motion detection via alexa I have tried to use Modes as described in this article https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031246432-Using-Alexa-to-control-your-Ring-Doorbell-or-Security-Camera- But although I have changed the default settings to disable motion detection when in disarmed mode, Alexa will not let me change modes - it tells me the action is not supported for the device.

Hi @user52093. I was able to find this Community [post](https://community.ring.com/t/arm-ring-from-alexa/231494/5) where another neighbor had a similar concern to yours. There is a marked solution in that post as well.

Thanks, It appears that Ring have not yet updated their support documents which still say Ring cameras support arming/disarming by Alexa but the post response was that in fact this is an error. https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020893671-Arming-and-Disarming-Your-Ring-Devices-with-Alexa Maybe one day they will add this feature since it is evident that users want it.
