Add ability to arm/disarm in an Alexa routine
It would be nice to have the ring alarm arm in home mode when I use my "good night" routine with Alexa--similarly to disarm with a routine in the morning. I don't seem to be able to add these actions to an Alexa routine.

This is simply perfect. I'm sure many for years have been wondering how to do this. I struggled with it and I'm an IT guy. Thanks so much. This routine nestled right in with my Good Night routine. No more telling the Ring to arm in home mode separate from my goodnight routine.

Perfect! That is the one. Previously I kept typing, "Alexa, set ring to home". I didn't need to restate Alexa. Works just as it should.

Annoyingly the Custom option as an action on a Routine isn't available in the UK it sounds like a nice solution if you are in the US :(

Can you please, please, please make this a native feature? Shouldn’t be that hard if Simple Commands as a third party already supports this. I’m in Germany and I cannot use the Kloee skill for Alexa as German is not a supported language. I have a Good Night routine that does a dozen things, locks all my doors, turns off all the lights and music and everything. The only thing I have to do manually when I go to bed, which at the same time is also the most important one, is to arm the alarm. I forget this every other day and that’s super annoying. I already thought about looking for alternative alarm systems and selling my complete Ring set because not being able to trigger it via an Alexa routine (and not even based on time!) is **so** annoying. That should be one of the core features for a modern day alarm system.

This can easily be done within routine. Just go to Add Action --\> Custom --\> Type in "set ring to home mode" Done! If in the morning, you want to disarm it, you can go to devices, chose the ring base station, allow it to be disarmed with voice controls... then use the following custom command as an action: "set ring to disarmed mode; pin\_number\_here"
