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 there, Just joined ring after my hive cameras packed up….. there does not seem a way to schedule mode changes at all on the device (cameras only installed) I have found the motion alert function schedule but no way to automatically flip from home to away mode. can we get this feature added please?

Can you make it so you set a schedule to change from home to away, I set away at night but sometimes forget so my spot light cam does not record.

It would be convenient if the mode could change automatically when I enter or leave the geofence, as an option. shared my thoughts here: https://community.ring.com/t/is-there-any-way-to-arm-the-ring-camera-automatically-when-outside-the-geofence/194744

I would like to request a feature that allows me to set schedules for Modes for my Ring security cameras and doorbell cams. This feature is available for Alarms but not cameras. Modes can currently be changed only manually for security cameras. The current scheduling feature only controls alerts, not when the camera records and uploads the video file to Ring. A problems occurs for me and likely many other users because the internet service has monthly data usage caps. My standard data cap is 1280 GB per month. Now that I have 3 cameras (recently added 2 more) that are constantly uploading video when my family is outside, each one uploads probably 50 or more videos per day. That is a LOT of data usage and pushes me over my internet service provider's monthly data allotment. While Modes allows me to manually turn on and off the system, I can't remember to change the setting twice a day, every day, 365 days a year. This is the kind of problem that software is meant to fix. I only need recording (and video uploading) when no one is home, which is predicable and could be scheduled if the software allowed it. There is no reason to waste my data recording my family. Please fix this. I regret purchasing Ring because of this and currently wouldn't recommend it to anyone due to this issue.
