I just installed my Ring Alarm, so far so good. I noticed that while the system DISARMED, the motion sensor in the living room constantly triggers notifications on my phone app. There is a toggle switch to disable the sensor for both armed (Home & Away) modes, but how do I prevent the sensor from triggering when the system is not even armed. It’s just teaching me to ignore my phone and having it on mute.
In the app, go to your devices and select the motion sensor. Then make sure the “motion alerts” toggle is switched off. This will not affect how the sensor is used with the alarm, it just affects alerts. You would maybe use this motion alert feature for elderly care or kids maybe.

Perfect, Thanks. I did that for the motion sensor as well as the indoor cameras, no more annoying notifications! ?

Is there a way to turn off notifications only when disarmed or “at home”? I want notifications to be enabled when “away”…
You have to go to the settings for each individual camera and each individual device that detects motion and toggle the motion alerts button off
but wouldnt that disable notifications even when “Armed”?
I am not sure, but since I have a dog I didn’t want to risk ANY false alarms from those. Try it out and see what happens.
Guys I want to be able to recevie alerts from the sensors and indoor camera when in “armed” mode but not receive alerts when in “home” or “disarmed” mode.
Did you find a solution to this?

This is so weird. It’s the only notification I expected.
