Hey, Ring Community...This has been asked a number of times before in this forum, but I wanted to bring it up again since there has never been a good answer.Is there ANY way to link a "smart switch" to the Ring Floodlight Cam lights? I had a hard wired switch for the old light previously, but bypassed it knowing that this device requires continuous power.A smart switch link would allow the light to continue any schedule and normal operation, while providing a manual override.Use case:I have a Ring floodlight cam mounted in my back yard. Currently I have it on a dusk to dawn schedule with the rest of my Ring outdoor lights. I want to manually turn the floodlights on when I let my dogs outside in the evening (or if I'm just outside enjoying the evening). I want to be able to then shut it off (except for motion) so as not to disturb my neighbors.Yes, I realize I could just set them for motion only, but occasionally there is nuisance motion from trees that triggers it. Better yet would be triggering them ONLY if a person is detected.Alternatively, a way to adjust brightness based on motion.Thoughts? I've found ways to do the reverse (Ring triggering my Lutron Caseta interior lights on motion or alarm) but not what I describe.Ideally a remote from my existing Lutron Caseta system could turn them on and off manually. Lutron Caseta already "works with Ring" but so far I can't find ANY way to do what I describe.
