GE Plug-In Switch (Two Outlet)

I just received the GE Plug-In Switch (Two Outlet): [https://shop.ring.com/products/ge-switch-two-outlet-14282](https://shop.ring.com/products/ge-switch-two-outlet-14282) I added it to my Ring alarm and the integration with the Ring app only turns the switch on/off. And even worse, you have to go through a half dozen of menus to get to the on/off switch :-( And it does NOT have any way to schedule time when lights should come on or go off. Am I missing something? Right now its pretty useless to me.

    Hey @CrazyCat. The current functionality for those switches through the Ring app is to turn the switch off/on. Although, if you have Amazon Alexa, you can use the Alexa app in order to schedule routines! You can learn more about this in our Ring Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031606811-Creating-a-Routine-with-Alexa-and-your-Ring-Device-). In addition, you can turn the switch off/on through the Alexa app and if you own an Amazon Echo, you can ask Alexa to turn on/off your light as well. I will make sure to pass on this feedback to the appropriate team, we appreciate you sharing this feedback!
