Sunrise/sundown routines conflicts with absence
I have set the Alexa routines of changing the Ring mode according to sundown and sunrise. At first, it seems a handy option. But when I am out to work or on vacation or whatever, now my Ring will think I'm home and reduce the vigilance of my cameras. Yes, the Ring-app offers a location sensor. But that makes one or more cameras slumber when I arrive, and remind me to set the Ring-mode. By geofencing by its own. Not setting the mode for me. And when I'm on vacation, I still have to correct my Ring mode every sunrise. In my home, my heating system knows when I'm home - as does my home automation system. I don't need Ring to think on its own, just to follow the leader. That way, I can control each actor in my house with one directive. For now, Ring and Alexa don't know my absence and will happily continue to change my Ring mode. I seek any solution in moving the Alexa routine to a system that I control my home systems with. It might reach Ring through IFTTT, provided Ring adds an option there to have IFTTT set the Ring mode.

How do I get to the feature request board? And can Alexa be used to silence my chime during the day and turn it back on at night because I can't get this to work. Thank you!

CHi @DCSQUEEN. The Feature Request board is one of the Categories on the Community. You can find it here https://community.ring.com/topics/feature-request-board/65800a17182b9b0fafde66ea. You can see what options are available for Routines in the Alexa app, but I don't know that you can control the Chime Alerts from Alexa. However, you can use Chime Snooze to turn off Chime alerts for a specified amount of time. Learn more here https://ring.com/support/articles/l3fb7/linking-chime-to-your-ring-camera-or-doorbell-to-hear-alerts.
