Can I combine motion schedules with modes?

I am thinking about setting up some motion schedules so that (for example) I don't get motion alarms on my driveway during the day, but do get them at night. This would be ideal for when I am home, or in Home mode. However, when I am in Away mode, I would like the motion alarms all the time.I can see how to set up schedules, and enable/disable them, but is there a way to do what I described above by simply changing to Away mode - without having to remember to go tweak my schedules?

    Hi @sharper3. Do you have Modes For Cameras enabled? This feature allows you to select how your Cameras behave when you are in a specific Mode. This Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-your-Ring-Cameras-with-Modes) has more information on Modes for Cameras. Let me know how you like this feature!

      Yes I am currently using Modes. I do like the feature. But my question is can I combine Motion Schedules with Modes.

      Hi @sharper3. You cannot combine these two features. We do have a Modes Schedule that might be a good solution for you. You can find out more about this feature [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060532451-How-to-Arm-and-Disarm-Ring-Alarm-with-Mode-Schedules).

    That is exactly what I need, but I don't have a Ring Alarm. I only have doorbells and cameras. Any chance that feature will be made available for those devices?

      After thinking more, Mode Schedules would work for me, but not perfectly. I could map my desired behavior to one of the three modes, and then schedule them for the times I need. For example, stay in Home Mode during the day, and then switch over to Away Mode when I go to bed. But when I am truly awa

      Hi @sharper3. I can certainly pass along this feedback! I also suggest making a more formal request in our Feature Request Board. Additionally, our [Geofence](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052805372-Geofence-in-the-Ring-App) feature might be useful as well!
