Share Smart Lighting and Light Groups

Please allow sharing of light groups with other users! I have a Floodlight Wired and I am the only one who can control it because it's required to be in a group and devices in a group can't have access shared. What if I'm not home or am unavailable and someone needs to turn the light on/off? Please add this function. I got the Floodlight Wired because I have other Ring devices, but I think there are better z-wave controlled options I will consider.

Multiple family members need to ability to turn on lights (not lighted cameras) when coming home. Please add this in a future update ASAP. The typical Dad, Mom and kids depicted in your commercials and videos is not typical. Multiples from the same household need to be able to use the ring app, share the spotlights, step lights, etc. currently the Ring app does not allow it.

I agree. There needs to be multiple owners or shared users need access to bridge. It is silly that my partner cannot turn on or off lights without logging out of their account and logging into mine. We have separate accounts for a reason.

Yes, please! I bought some smart lights assuming this would work as all the other devices do, only to find out shared users are unable to see or make personal settings on them. For me, I want my floodlight camera to turn on and start recording when my smart light senses motion. This overall process works well, but the light is in a high traffic area during the day so I setup a motion schedule. The motion schedule works great on my app, but not for the shared users. Shared users were getting bombarded with motion alerts and had no way to supress the alerts or setup motion schedules for themselves.

Agree. Have Ring Smart Lighting system with Bridge and A19 bulbs. in my house. Only option is to "group" lights which nullifies that ability to share a user. In a household of two I am the only one that can turn the light on and off. Since the lights are switched on all the time my wife is not able to turn the lights on unless I'm with her. Being able to share users with the Ring app Smart Lighting is a must upgrade and the sooner the better. Allow users to share a "group" or allow for single light setup without grouping.

I completely agree. It is ridiculous that this isn't already a feature. There are two adults here that require access to all the devices and settings ESPECIALLY LIGHTS, which seems to be the biggest issue. If I turn something on, my partner has no way of turning the light off. There should be multiple master accounts or at the very least, smart lights need to be added to shared users access like the cameras and doorbell.

We just added a few A19 smart bulbs to our home system, but the Ring App will not let me share control of them with my spouse on her device. Is there a plan to allowed shared usage of smart lighting in the future? Having only one person that can control the lighting severely limits the functionality. Had I been aware of this prior to purchase, I would NOT have added the lighting to our Ring products in use.

Are you sure it doesn't allow sharing? I just installed the Ring Bridge with a couple of the A19s, and now that it's all set up in the app I see an option for Shared Users under the group settings.

Never mind. Like I said, I just got this system. Per the app, Grouped Devices can't be shared unless you remove them from the group first. But you can't set these up without putting them in a group, and can't remove from a group. Bummer...I guess we'll have to share a login until this feature gets added.

Made an account just to suggest this, it's crazy that it doesn't already exist. I can allowed shared users access to mode settings, why not give me the option to share motion settings or smart alerts? The alternative is the rest of the family complaining they don't have full access and all sharing 1 account, which is annoying from a 2fa perspective and just bad security practice. To echo the previous posters, treat adults like adults and let us choose.
