Geofencing mode
Is there an automatic way to turn on alarm when we are away from home with location? as for google nest? There is away mode?

Got to say that I fully agree.This seems like a no brainer considering virtually all competitor products do this.It was such a no brainer that I saw the modes and stupidly assumed that this would use geofencing. If I had looked closer, there is no way that I would have purchased them.Even a location app in IFTTT would be acceptable, but that is not available either

DTIsn’t it frustrating? It always seems the people who make the most money do the worst job. It’s ridiculous that a company of this notoriety would not have something so simple and obvious like geofencing built in from almost the start. It’s been what... 6+ years now they’ve been selling these things?

HAgree. How will you communicate when this is on the roadmap? Either native or IFTT? I migrated from nest but have to say I regret it a little. Of course I didn't do my homework but it seem So incredibly obvious to have geofencing ?

Hi,I am on the trial of the alarm system, but i find it ridiculous that this is not included, at least to set the alarm system. THe amount of times i have left and forgot to set the alarm, makes it kind of useless! Silly that such an advanced system does not have such a basic feature. Even a prompt when you leave/come back to arm/disarm would be helpful. They could utilize the 2 factor security built into phones to ensure it is not misused!

PI think Geofencing would be a nice option but I can understand why its not included as Ring probably want to minimalise issues caused by things outside of their control. People would also be moaning on the odd instance that the Geofencing didn't work for some reason like Alarm having Internet issues, phone GPS issue, Phone celular issue.I th

JThis is weak. The only reason I switched from NEST was for Ring's POE camera. Their geofencing worked great. There is no reason not to implement geofencing. It's used reliably by your competition. Some have mentioned that adding this feature will cause complaints when the feature fails. This can be said of any Ring feature. Some mention geofencing may provide criminals a hack. Unlikely on a large scale and concerned parties can turn the feature OFF. Home automation centers on limiting necessary user input. Location based automation is even more fundamental than voice control. FIX THIS.

It would be so awesome if ring would create geofencing or the ability to set a schedule For recording not just alerts. I love my ring products and don’t want to switch. But when can we expect geofencing?

Agreed. I just purchased an indoor cam as a trial to see how it compares with my Amazon Cams, as I want to have everything in one ecosystem (I already have the Ring doorbell). Imagine my surprise to find that there is no automatic geofencing home/away feature to turn my indoor cam off (well, stop recording, anyway) when I am home. This is like an industry standard at this point. Come on.

MAgree with everyone here. Just purchased Ring and had assumed that as both my heating and lighting systems have been successfully doing geofencing for multiple people in my house for years, that a leading smart company would already have the functionality in their system too. Come on Ring. I’m a bit embarrassed for you.

JSaying it is "resolved" is a stretch as well.This is not resolved either. You work for Jeffy? not sure by the tone of your response if you are being sarcastic or a defender of Ring here?> @Eagle328 wrote: > Resolved should say. This is all we can say right now. So, there is no Geofencing at all and it's not in the works. But may happen at some point. End...

Why an earth would you not include geofencing on a 'smart' alarm system? I have a Canary camera which i brought years ago and that does a really good job of arming/disarming it's self when i leave home. It just works without me thinking about it, which is what your alarm should do to avoid the problem where you might forget to arm it, making it completely useless.
