Ability to reboot devices from app
Occasionally, my stick up cam and spotlight cam have issues. The only way to fix it is to remove and replace the battery to restart the device. It would be more convenient if there was a reboot option in the app. I can't understand why this isn't already a feature. Thank you.

I was thinking about a restart option on the ring floodlight also..Then this thought came into my head...If the device is not connected to Wi-Fi, how would we restart it from the app?I dunno...

Yes need this. I can turn lights on and off on my flood light cam but its not sending video. So i can communicate to do a reboot if it was available…

It would also be great to incorporate the ability to manually reconnect to Wi-fi remotely after the cameras disconnect for whatever reason. Currently when this happens, I have to take a 4-hour flight in order to push a button on the camera to reconnect to Wi-fi and a 4-hour flight home and which doesn’t feel particularly sensible to me. Might this be likely with a firmware update at some point?

YES! I have a floodlight that's wired into a soffit. To reboot it I have to either flip a breaker, get in the attic to disconnect the wire, or remove the camera from the junction box since I don't want a switch on it got security reasons. It's commonly in need of a reboot and I just ignore it until it starts behaving again.

This is really essential. I have a home on multi levels with concrete floors and a mesh network. The chimes tend to join a weak node if their nearest WiFi node is down, and then lock to that weak signal. A remote reboot feature would allow them to reconnect to the nearest mesh node. Or alternatively they could properly support mesh wifi?
