Ring Alarm Shortcomings still an issue?
I am looking to buy a Ring alarm; however, after reading several one-star reviews on Amazon, I am having second thoughts.If you have time, please let me know the status of the following:Missing Features - Compatibility with smart home devices such as locks, smart thermostats, smart lights, or smart garage doors - Ability to turn off notifications for smart locks - Ability to rearrange App dashboard to allow locking or unlocking of your doors - Ring Sensors such as hinge sensors, garage door tilt sensors - Ability to use third party sensors to make up for the lack of needed sensors from Ring – like a garage or gate sensor - Ability to set programs like “Lock door and Arm System at 12 AM” - Ability to adjust features like auto lock after 30 seconds on door locks - Ability to Disable chimes or mute keypads - Ability to turn of or disable Neighborhood feature which is filled with a bunch of people posting videos of minorities walking in front of their house as if they were criminals.They go on to say that Ring is in no way a substitute for a professional alarm system such as ADT.Lastly, I have a significant investment in Smart Home devices, about a 50% split between Z-wave and Zigbee. Since Ring uses Z-wave, will it provide full functionality as it applies to an alarm for the Z-wave third party devices?I have Samsung Smartthings, so if I need that in the middle, I can; however, I do not like my alarm system dependent on the cloud any more than absolutely necessary
