Ring Security Cameras
Please add Schedule for Motion Activation to Ring Floodlights
I bought the Floodlight Camera thinking that I could set a timer that would completely control when the lights go on and off. However, as others have pointed out, the Light Schedules *do not* override Motion Detection. For example, if I set a timer for the light to be on from 6:30-8:30, and I walk in front of the camera at 7:30, the light will turn off after 30 seconds (at 7:30:30) instead of at 8:30. The only way to prevent the light from turning off is to toggle off Motion Activation for the lights completely. However, this is cumbersome to do every time I want to use a timer. (The whole point of a Schedule should be "set it and forget it".) I think the correct functionality should be either: (a) Schedules override Motion Activation or (b) Motion Activation can also be set to a schedule The reason I want this functionality is not particularly unique, and I am sure that incorporating this fix will make the product much more accessible. I am Sabbath observant, and don't turn lights on or off from Friday evening to Saturday night, even indirectly. My community tend to avoid buying motion activated lights for this exact purpose - we don't want to accidentally turn on lights on the Sabbath. Ensuring that the Motion Activation can be easily turned off (e.g., on a schedule) would make the Ring Floodlight Cam a potential solution for customers who want to be strictly Sabbath Observant, and still have Motion Activated lights for security. Thanks!
