Request for Ability to Disable Motion Detection (NOT Alerts) by Group?
motion-settings

I am new to the Ring Smart Lighting world and imagine I'm probably just not understanding how all of the fabulous features work together... In a new home with newly-installed Ring Smart Lighting. In my "Front" group, I have a battery step light, two wired floodlights, and six path lights. Last night, my new neighbor messaged me, **"Are your lights on a motion detector? They're freaking me out because they keep flicking on and off!"** Last night was particularly windy and the flag on the front of my house was triggering motion on one or more of my lights and probably had the **ENTIRE GROUP OF LIGHTS** going on and off **ALL NIGHT**.I know I need to play with motion sensitivity and might even need to disable motion detection for the wired floodlight nearest the flag. There's also a path light relatively close to that flag that might also have to have motion detection adjusted or disabled. However, this incident generated the following question/request:Is there or can we get a "panic button" for disabling motion detection on groups? There seems to be a nice, Motion Alerts "panic button" to disable the alerts en masse, but it would be **GREAT** to be able to also disable motion detection for all devices within a group, with the simple push of a button. Right now, to disable motion detection, you have to go to the *Group*: SETTINGS: Motion Settings (Group Motion Settings menu) and then select each device individually. That's a lot of work when you have nine lights in one group, like I do.There are **SO** many settings/options that it often takes a good bit of time to setup and test to get things right. In this instance, I just wanted to shut motion detection down until I could figure it out later and there wasn't a really quick/easy way to do it. Having a "Motion Detection Panic Button" to disable all motion detection at the group level would be a **GREAT** feature. It would allow you to disable motion detection, by group, without losing the ability to control those groups via the app or Alexa, in the meantime.Thanks, in advance!
