Really, you did not answer the questions and conserns. You restated my conserns and confirmed that the Chimes are of limited functions.
I also think your Owner/Shared USer concept is flawed. You need to be able to assign ownership like controls. I know Shared users can turn the system on and off, so, being able to change a setting is really not a big deal.
The countdown can not be heard at many of my entry and exit points. Solution… None!
Device chirps are useless if you can not hear the base station. The system needs remote annunciators so control tones and chirps can be heard where you need them.
I am begining to think the Ring Security system has hit its peak and is being depretiated.
