Can you turn off the Lights with Motion setting
Here's what I would like to do with the lights on my Floodlight Cam, but I can't seem to do this using the iOS or Mac app settings. Choice 1 - I'd really like to disable turning off/on of the lights by the Floodlight Cam altogether and have Alexa do it via a rotuine. However, I can't seem to be able to disable the device from doing the lighting via Motion Sensor. If I go Device Settings \> Light Settings \> Motion Zones for Lights on iOS app, I can never turn off the "Turn on Lights with Motion" setting. If do and tap Save, then next time I go into that view, it returns to On position. Choice 2 - If I can't do that, I'd like to just use the Light Schedule (Device Settings \> Light Settings \> Light Schedule). But again, because I can never turn off the "Turn on Lights with Motion" setting, the Light Schedule doesn't kick in. Are either of these possible?

EI tried your suggestion but still get same result. What's more, I have the same issue on my iPad device as well, so it does not seem to be tied to my phone or iOS version specifically.

I have a big issue with my ring floodlight cams. I have two of them facing my backyard patio, and when I’m out there it is lit by patio/cafe lights so I don’t want the floodlight cams blasting me in the face. The only way I can figure out how to toggle the lights off is by turning them off via the light switch. How can I toggle off the motion activated lights on the app? This is beyond frustrating.

CHi @Kw. You can find instructions on how to adjust the Motion Zones specifically for the lights on your Floodlight Cams [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004155866-Controlling-the-Floodlights-and-Light-Settings-on-Your-Floodlight-Cam). You can also disable these if you do not want

Are you tapping Save on the top right before you exit the screens? Mine stay set after I tap Save.
