One thing I already miss from my 25+yr old ADT alarm system is its ability to control smart lighting in the house based on certain alarm system events. It did this using ancient 1970's X-10 technology... for example my old ADT system could: 1) upon Arming the system, at start of exit delay turn on some lights 2) upon coming home and triggering the front door Entry Delay, turn on some lights 3) upon triggering the burgler/fire Alarm, in addition to sounding the siren, turn on (or blink) all the house smart lights etc Now along with my new Ring Alarm I already have a bunch of Alexa-enabled wifi smart light switches and sockets in my house. I should be able to do the same, right? Well... not quite exactly I know that all my Ring Alarm sensors now show up as devices in the Alexa app as triggers for Routines , so I can now create routines based on contact & motion sensor activity (thanks!). However the Ring Alarm system itself only has these 3 Alexa Routine triggers: Armed Away, Disarmed, Armed Stay I can already use Armed Away to trigger a routine to turn on the Porch lights when I set the alarm and leave the house (#1 above). And while I can set a routine based on the front door opening, that's not really the same as when the entry delay starts, e.g. opening the front door when system is disarmed and I'm already home, I don't need to turn on the hallway light. And there's no way at all to create a routine based on setting off the alarm/siren. So I currently can't replicate those actions #2 and #3 I mentioned above. So, my Feature Request: Please add 2 new Alexa Routine triggers for Start of Entry Delay, and Alarm Triggered... that would let me set up routines to fill in the missing functionality. Thanks

At the moment there is only an Alexa 'skill' for the base station to set off a Alexa routine if the alarm is set to home/away/off. An additional case statement for when alarm goes off (perhaps also include deactivated) will allow a routine that can, for example, switch on hue lights, make announcements on Echo devices, switch on radio etc.

Should be great to have Ring Alarm station as an actionnable device in Alexa. It allows great things in combination with Alexa enabled devices

This seems like it should have been added in version 1.... Ring cannot turn any lights on, or activate any products upon the Alarm ringing? That just makes no sense. I would like to have it turn on all my smart lights. So far, I haven't been able to figure out how to make them do that, but I will keep trying.

This is one of the biggest flaws in the system. It is insane that there is no trigger for Alarm Triggered.
