Ring Alarm Base Station audio settings - Add small adjustable output delay for sounds
keypad
base-station

Feature Request for Ring Alarm: in the Ring App, under Devices-\>Base Station-\>Audio Settings, add a slider for making a small adjustment in the delay the Base Station outputs chirps, entry/exit delays or other verbal notifications (relative to the audio output of the Keypad) Currently, the Base Station seems to output chirps and other audio sounds slightly _before_ the same sounds come out of the Keypad - by maybe half a second or so - this causes a kind of echo effect. My Keypad is wall-mounted in a hallway, and Base Station is in the adjacent room. If the Keypad and Base Station were located further apart, the apparent echo effect might be even more pronounced. If next to the audio volume slider there was a slider to adjust the Base Station audio output delay in small/continuous increments, say between -1 to +1 sec (or maybe less) , you could tweak the audio so Base Station and Keypad sound more in unison

    Under my device on my phone I have no alarm device station.

      This echo effect bugs me as well. I assume it's caused by Z-Wave network latency between the base station and keypads. Having a customizable delay would be nice, but I'm guessing this wouldn't completely fix the issue.
