Ring Floodlight - On/Off Voice Light Function removed from SmartThings 6/30/21

I use Google Home and not Alexa for voice controls in my house. I have 5 of the floodlight cameras hardwired at my house, up until yesterday (6/30/21) I had my ring account synced to my Samsung SmartThings hub. With SmartThings, my google home account is able to control all those devices and it would allow me to turn the spot lights on/off by saying "Turn on the ***Deck light***" or whatever I named each floodlight camera. Well I got notifications from Google Home that 5 devices were removed from my Google Home all at the same time. I looked and it was all of my Ring camera lights. When I logged in to SmartThings I could see the cameras were all there and working as I can view the feed and listen in via SmartThings app, but the ability for SmartThings to turn the lights on/off within the app was no longer there. Anyone else using SmartThings and noticed as of yesterday the ability to control the lights were removed? Its super inconvenient and not realistic to even use them as lights now, because now the only way to turn them on/off is by having my phone and going in to the ring app.
