Ring Alarm
Want to automatically lock doors when Ring Alarm is armed (Stay or Away)
I have recently installed Ring Alarm and replaced one of my electronic deadbolts with a Z-Wave model supported by Ring Alarm. The integration of the new deadbolt into Ring Alarm was an easy and uneventful process. I see there is functionality to Arm/Disarm Ring Alarm by using the electronic deadbolt, but the functionality I am looking for is to automatically ensure all doors are locked whenever I Arm the Ring Alarm. I have had ADT and XFinity Home alarm systems, both of which offered this functionality; I am disappointed Ring Alarm does not appear to offer this setting. I have already checked IFTTT to see if it would be possible to setup a work-around, but Ring Alarm hooks are basically non-existent in IFTTT. Any suggestions from the community (or more desirable, the addition of this functionality by Ring) would be welcome!

Has this been answered? I have a Z-Wave Lock and just linked it to my Ring Account. We want all the doors to lock automatically when I set my alarm to Home or Away. And Automatically unlock when I hit Disarm. This seems like Smart Home 101. I’d be completely kind blown if this is a standard feature for Ring. And kind embarrassed. Thanks for any help. -Jonathan

simple solution to avoid forgetting your door unlocked is to set it auto lock through the lock app. I called in and the Ring agent claimed it is because of the type of the lock I have it is not notifying me that the door is unlocked when I arm Ring. It is disappointing since I can see the status of the lock inside the ring app. I can also lock/unlock through Ring. So the Ring app is informed and I believe it is a software problem to which the Ring representative has denied and blamed it on the lock model I have. If the Ring app can lock/unlock the door then it can/should also be able to do that when you arm the system I think.

I wonder if Alexa routines would do it. I have a Yale smartlock which only works with Homekit. I do have Homebridge and enabled Ring on it, so I can control everything through Homekit and have an automation for "when everyone arrives home" So, when I arrive home, I get prompted by Homekit if I want to run the automation, and this will disarm the alarm and open the lock.
