A silent arm and disarm feature would be nice. The notification disturbs the whole family when one of us gets home or leaves for work when everyone else is in bed.
Yes this would be a very necessary feature as the panels are very loud and disturb the house.

I signed up for the community just to vote for this after spending hours trying to figure out how to accomplish silent arming and reading the forum!
Add this to your next sprint and make a lot of customers happy

My old system had silent arm/disarm. Please add it to Ring.
Here is a possible method to implement it:
- Enter PIN
- Press Arm/Disarm button
- Press Checkmark button (for example)
If Step 3 is done then the audio confirmation message of “Exit Delay Started” and subsequent beeps would be silenced. Same applies for the “Disarmed” audio alert.
If Step 3 is done, allow the light display on the panel and base station to run so the user can see the system is changing modes from disarmed to armed and vice-versa.
If step 3 is not done then the system should run with all audio notifications enabled.

Absolutely. This is a very important addition to be made.

It would be nice to have an option to skip exit delay on stay mode. It could be a simple second press of the home button or (and this would satisfy another post I came across) have it silence the exit delay. For the times when you are not leaving the house in stay mode.

I’ve been using Ring Alarm for a year and a half and being that I was looking for support this morning on another question I had to make an account so I came here to drop in my $0.02.
-
The ability to silent arm/disarm
-
The ability to arm (with silent) “Home and Armed” and then have a delay before it is armed so I can leave.
So I’m sure I’m not alone. I leave the house at 5:30am. The rest of the family is sleeping and home. Before my new home, and of course my Ring Alarm install I had a traditional alarm and I could easily every morning: Silent Disarm, Silent Arm Home, Open the door, and leave. No announcements of “Home and Armed” and I didn’t have to wait on the way out to connect my app and stop to use that to arm etc. I’m at the keypad, I should be able to perform just that with ease.

PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE!
It is really annoying to manually turn the volume down every night and morning when arming and disarming.
PLEASE is not that difficult

Please add silent exit feature. I’d been a ring alarm supported since the beginning and its still a paint in the butt that Ring and Amazon haven’t spend the resources to give Ring the same basic functionality as a GE home alarm and many other standard brands.

I’m a new Ring subscriber and am pretty amazed that this basic feature is not available. Please add this feature soon.

We recently switched from ADT to Ring and so far our only frustration is the countdown when we set the alarm at night.
All of our kids are sleeping and then suddenly there’s a loud beeping and then a voice stating that our system is armed.
I understand that there is a workaround to this with turning the volume down on the base station before setting it, but it seems like creating an option for a silent countdown would be an easy upgrade? It doesn’t seem like I should have to be going back and forth in my settings every time I want to set my alarm.
There are lots of requests for this. Here’s a post with all of the feature requests bookmarked so you can upvote them!

When arming ring alarm, Perhaps allow us to say “Alexa, set ring to home mode, silent countdown” or allow us to hit a key on the keypad that will shut the countdown sound off. Doing the silence command or button will silence the current countdown ONLY. This is waking my family up at night and should be a basic feature.
