Alarm Status Remote indicator light
My keypads are not near entry doors and its easy to forget if the alarm is set. We use the garage entry door all the time and it would be very useful to be able to see what the alarm setting is by just looking at the door is instead of hearing the alarm going off. A small 'remote alarm status' indicator light could be installed next to a door or opening that illuminates either green or red that shows the alarm status would be very useful. This remote alarm indicator could be used anywhere.

I was actually looking for this as well... There are many ways to do this. Could be a box with four lights. Could be illuninated on one side to indicate armed, illuminated on to indicate unarmed, all LED's of the same color, let the user decide, but I have faith in the community that they wouldn't be placeing this on the outside of their homes and like myself, would love to have the status somewhere safe I could use as a tool to prevent false alarms..

Me too! I enter from my garage I often trip the storage room or the outside door not knowing the alarm is hot. We need a remote status indicator.

This isn't what you asked for but have you tried the geofence feature in the app? It will send an alert to your phone when you enter the geofence reminding you to turn off the alarm if it is on. From the main menu in the app pick Settings, Geofence.

With our traditional hybrid wired/wireless alarm (DSC Power 864), I double tapped the kitchen keypad and ran wires to a buzzer and led in the garage that would follow the keypad. So when someone pulled into the garage, the light would blink and the buzzer would sound to let the person know that the entry delay was active. The person would still have to enter the locked door to access the house. But this function didn't work with Ring. So like OP, I would find this useful and I'm not worried about advertising my armed status to the world as it couldn't possibly be viewed or heard anywhere outside of the closed garage. Also, our DSC keypad would blink when armed to help remind so you didn't open a door and trigger an alarm. What OP suggests would be useful in both instances.
