Mode schedule for Doorbells and Cameras

The modes function is great and long overdue. However, it would be really nice to be able to set the mode based on a schedule. Specifically, I would like to always go to the home mode at a certain time every night in case I forget to change modes.

    Hi, Riley_Ring has a post here on 12th May announcing this feature is being released: [Feature Update: Schedule your Ring Alarm to Arm and Disarm Automatically - Welcome to the Ring Community / Ring Device Tips and How To's - Ring Community](https://community.ring.com/t/feature-update-schedule-your-ring-alarm-to-arm-and-disarm-automatically/55570) I'm in the UK and don't have this yet as it's slow rolling but hopefully we all get it soon.

      Now that Ring implemented arm/disarm scheduling for the alarm system based on overwhelming feedback and votes, can those of us that have cameras and doorbells likewise upvote this request? I, for one, like being able to Arm (Home Mode) at night, and Disarm the cameras, during day, and having this same feature for the cameras and doorbells makes total sense and should be a simple implementation given Ring has already done this very same thing for the alarm systems. (Note, currently you can NOT do this with Motion Scheduling which only turns off motion alerts, but does not turn off recording.) Please comment and upvote if you agree! Thanks!

        Ability to Schedule recordings - turn recordings on & off, not just notifications (in Mode setting), on a automated daily schedule. Essentially turning the device on & off to a schedule.

          **This is a feature request for scheduled arming (scheduled modes) for video doorbells and cameras.** Absolutely ridiculous that they only brought this feature for the Ring Alarm System. As if people that have Ring doorbells and cameras have no use for this. Well I am here to say that there is a use for this with the video doorbells and cameras. Eg. If I know I'm going to be outside for awhile I want to disarm the camera so I don't 1. Get a ton of notifications and 2. have a bunch of useless recordings of myself or my family. I disarm the camera, and I will forget to rearm or set to away. Support's answer is you should use Motion Snooze. I don't want to use Motion Snooze, because again, I don't want to silently record myself and my family with loads of useless video clips. Now if they have a motion recording snooze, I could see that being useful. But instead there are neither scheduled arming nor motion recording snooze. Blink already has this function for their cameras and it works great. Ring needs this.

            This is needed badly. Absolutely ridiculous that they only brought this feature for the Ring Alarm System. As if people that have Ring doorbells and cameras have no use for this.

              @trailblazer15 Thanks for your comments. Of course, I agree. And it would seem like a simple addition. I often think many suggestions on the Feature Request Board are sort of "bells and whistles" types of requests, but something like would seem to be a core feature right off the bat. Hopefully others will upvote this and give it some traction. Thanks again.
