I just installed my first floodlight and am very disappointed in the features that are missing:
-
You can’t adjust the brightness or dim the lights
-
You can’t disable the lights without turning the whole thing off
My use-case - I want to install it over my garage door but don’t need the floodlights turning on every time I go in or out of the garage. BUT I DO want the camera to be on at all times. E.g. parking my car in the garage at night, no need for lights to turn on but I would set them to turn on if motion is detected after 10pm. Ring gives you the option to turn the lights ON for a scheduled time but not OFF. Really???
Then to a lesser degree, another problem - they’re LED lights with a fancy app and you can’t adjust the brightness? I can understand not adjusting the color but the brightness is common in almost every LED light in the world. Even my cheapest LED light can do this! I thought “ok maybe I can’t turn them off but at least I can dim them.” I was wrong! How do we get a feature request put in or see if one exists already?
All the answers for these problems I can find are for different situations or refer to motion zones for the camera which DON’T APPLY TO THE LIGHT! Which is another thing I was surprised by, but it’s understandable due to the technology. The other issues have no excuse.
