Feature Update: Schedule your Ring Alarm to Arm and Disarm Automatically
We are always working to bring features to better your experience with your devices. Which is why we are excited to tell you more about the new Ring Alarm mode schedules update, learn more below. How Alarm Mode Schedules Can Be Used You can create multiple Alarm mode schedules to have your Ring Alarm switch to Disarm, Home, or Away mode at specific times. For example, if your family is early to rise and you know everyone is going to be out the door every morning by a certain time, you can create a schedule to switch your Ring Alarm into Away Mode at 6 am during the week. Even better, you can set multiple schedules for specific days to accommodate your lifestyle through out the week and weekends. Setting Multiple Alarm Mode Schedules You are able to set multiple schedules to fit your needs. All schedules will show in the Mode Schedules section in settings, this is where you can toggle them on and off or tap to edit them. If there is a conflict with any of your schedules an error message will appear in the Mode Schedules section and highlight the schedules in red which are causing the conflict. It is important that you resolve the conflicts immediately to avoid any mode arming or disarming confusions. You can do so by updating the current conflicting schedules time, day, or mode. You can also toggle the schedule off. How to Set a New Alarm Modes Schedule Follow the steps below to set your desired schedule. Note: You must be the Ring account Owner for the Alarm to create, edit, and delete mode schedules. Open the main menu in the top left corner of the Ring mobile app. Select Settings . Select Mode Schedules . Select Add Schedule . Create a name for the schedule, then choose a mode, and time for the schedule. Tap the day(s) of the week you’d like this schedule to occur. Select Add Schedule. Now your schedule is good to go! Learn more about Ring Alarm Mode Schedules in this Ring Help Center article. Note: When arming the Alarm system by a schedule, all faulted sensors will be automatically bypassed.

Hi @user22576. You will have to manually arm the Ring Alarm system again after disarming it. When you have a Mode Schedule set to arm the system in Away or Home at a certain time, it will not re-arm the system after that time has passed.

I currently have a few Ring cameras and based on the above i can see that mode scheduling is not available with my cameras. I can also see that mode scheduling is available with a Ring alarm system. My question is: if i were to buy a Ring Alarm system would the mode scheduling feature be unlocked on my existing cameras/doorbell by virtue of having them linked to the alarm system? Thanks

CHi @stonehound. Yes, as long as there are [Mode settings](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360036107792-Control-All-of-Your-Ring-Devices-with-Modes) in place with the Ring Cameras, they would adhere to the Mode Schedule that is in place with a Ring Alarm system on the account. Other neighbors have requested a Mode Schedules option for Doorbells and Cameras without a Ring Alarm, you can find the request below. https://community.ring.com/t/mode-schedule-for-doorbells-and-cameras/4937 You can vote on the request and add a comment. We use the Feature Request board as a way to gather and share your feedback and suggestions with our teams here.

When will this feature be available for ring cameras and doorbells? The "feature request board" noted by @Riley_Ring regarding this has had ZERO feedback from any part of Ring company. It is an easy feature to implement, which is clearly desired by customers. Many other security companies offer this. Why does Ring have apparently little to no interest in providing a quite basic feature to your PAYING, subscribing customers?

Hi. When I activate the modus at home from 11 pm till 7 am the alarm will also disarm at 7 am when I have activated the away modus. The at home modus should be overruled when the alarm is activated. Regards, Alex

Hey neighbors. If you have A Mode Schedule in place to disarm the Ring Alarm at 7 AM every day, the Alarm will disarm at 7 AM every day, regardless of if it's in Home or Away Mode prior to that. You can set multiple Mode Schedules if needed, or you can toggle a Schedule off if you have a different plan than usual on a particular day.

I'm new to this system and have a simple question. I have my system set for automatic schedule. If we have an accidental trigger event during the time when it is armed and we disarm it to prevent the siren, do we need to reset the schedule or does it automatically do this. Thank you.
