I’m in total agreement – one that doesn’t involve the alarm system, but can be activated through the Ring app. As a workaround, I rigged a loud 12VDC piezo alarm siren that works with a smart plug and outlet adapter. This allows me to remotely activate the siren alarm based on what I see through my Ring security cameras. The only problem is that I need to jump over to another app to activate the smart plug switch. Yes, Ring needs a “stand alone” outdoor siren!
