Custom Modes
Although this has been mentioned in various ways by proposing different options on modes or singular new modes for our specific use cases... I think the best and simplest solution for Ring is to just offer “Custom Modes”. Let the user just make as many modes as they want for their purposes with custom labels. For example: “Sleep Mode”, “Pet Home Alone Mode”, “Night Mode”, “Guest Mode”, etc. With each mode, you choose which sensors to arm, which to monitor (not arm), and which to deactivate entirely. The variables depend on individual use cases, and just adding one more mode is not enough for people. Make as many modes as your home needs! Wanted to post fresh with just this as the idea/subject, but kudos if you agree!

I set the need for a custom alarm mode. A use case for this is users who live in apartments who have unexpected visitors like maintenance come into the apartment. If my alarm notifies me they have entered the building then I need to disable it which pretty much turns off everything so I can’t record what they are doing only live view. It would be nice to have custom mode where I can disable the alarm but keep the cameras recording for just this situation. Then leave the disarm mode as it was intended, to not record or detect motion. Right now I have everything set as if the home mode was on for disarm mode because of this very situation.

I need this badly. I bought the whole ring security system assuming that this was a feature. This feature is pretty standard on antique alarm systems known as partial arming. I am extremely surprised that this isn’t already supported. Even if it’s not custom mode a sleep mode is a must.

Yep, +1. Agree 100%. Should also have the ability to schedule modes.

I would add that the modes can be triggered from outside of the app, for example using IFTTT or Alexa directly. Examples could include "Alexa, good night" would be able to trigger the proposed night mode and/or Home mode activates when I sign onto my home wifi network etc. cheers

100% agree we need custom modes to get the most out of our Ring systems. I wonder... is there anyway to find out if this feature improvement is anywhere on Ring's roadmap?
