Please add the option to show notifications in Carplay while the iOS device is plugged in. Currently, if there is an alarm activation, there is no notification banner or sound if your device is plugged in to Carplay.
This is a highly important feature for me! I’m not talking about video that could be a distracting factor while driving, but a notification or even being able to answer your doorbell as if making a phone call in the car would be great.
Recently I suffered a breakin to my home and the person rang 4 times in a row just to make sure I wans’t home.
Since I was driving I never got any notifications, thus the promise of Allways home could not be true!

I totally agree. This is very important to be aware of a doorbell ring and audio answer it from Apple CarPlay. Any comment from the Ring team?

+1! Please add the CarPlay notifications for Ring, without it there is no way to know if someone’s at the door or if alarm got triggered when your phone is plugged into CarPlay.

Same issue here. From my research it’s an issue from apple and allowing distractions as you drive.
It’s safer when Ring is in CarPlay than urgently scrambling for your iPhone while driving. Don’t Apple and Ring get it?
I would like to be able to arm and disarm my house from CarPlay. Notifications would be nice but able to set the alarm status is more important to me.

Agreed. The ability to disarm my alarm as I pull into the driveway or arm as I’m leaving would be awesome.
+1 here! Bumping for devs/CS to see this hopefully. Would also be nice to have a basic app to arm the house instead of having to pull over and arm the house via the iPhone app.
Agree ++
Ring please do something about this as it is a critical issue.
We need to receive notifications when using CarPlay if alarm triggered

Have Ring ever thought of making the app Apple CarPlay friendly? Notifications don’t make a noise or even alight your phone when in this mode which means you miss motion and doorbell ringing while driving. Would be great to talk handsfree to the courier/visitor on it.
I understand distraction from driving may be a factor but this would be no different than answering your phone handsfree on CarPlay or looking at the maps direction momentarily too on it as you drive.

Agreed. To disarm my alarm as I pull into the driveway or arm it as I’m leaving is a pretty basic function that I would love to have.

Absolutely. It will be nice to have a carplay app with basic functions as Arm/Disarm and notifications. I have wireless carplay and every time i pull on to my driveway i have to take the phone out of my pocket , go to Ring app and then disarm before I open my garage door. Would be lovely to just go to the Ring app on carplay and disarm there.

I still can’t believe that Ring haven’t created a version of the app that will work with CarPlay. I’m this day and age of automation, advanced technology in cars, remote opening gates and doors, that we can’t even have an arm/disarm function. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve opened the garage door and triggered the alarm coming home.

Agree, a simple option for Disarmed, Home and Away would be awesome.

I am using the Geo-Fence Ring Arm / Disarm feature. Is audio notification work until I connect my phone to Apple CarPlay, once connected there is not audio notification relayed through CarPlay. This would be a great addition to prevent users from attempting to enter their home when alarmed is turned on.

I think simple commands activated by the phones voice assistance would prove helpful for this instead of full CarPlay integration (which would be harder to dev). Adding functions like disarming/arming or possibility talking to a camera.
Hi, I’d love for the Ring app be compatible with Apple CarPlay and it work by receiving the standard notifications doorbell press/motion and be able to see/talk to the person at the door as you do with the phone app. Due to driving restrictions it might not be viable to be able to see the live camera while driving but I’m sure the audio should be permitted while driving. If stationary you should be able to see the camera stream while in the car.

It would be really useful if you created an app for Apple Carplay. In particular, access to arm or disarm Ring Alarm… perhaps the option of answering the door bell even if audio only.
Hi, after reading multiple posts requesting you add the ability get Ring door bell notifications on Apple CarPlay, I’d like to know when this feature will be added?
As stated in you ads, you are always home with Ring, you are not when you plug your phone into CarPlay.
You are forcing people to check their phones while driving to see if anything has happened which will cause people to break the law.
So, when will this be added?
