Perhaps a new mode - “Night” where other behaviours are wanted. And then be able to schedule which mode should be activated when.

This is precisely what I have come here to suggest! My family has Tado for heating. The Tado app ensures that our heating is only on when we are at home:

  • If a mobile phone belonging to at least one of us is at home then heating is set to on. (This is also thermostatically controlled so heat will be demanded of the boiler only if the temperature is below a preset level.)
  • If no mobile phones belonging to us are at home then heating is set to off.

We have had this system now for about five years and it is excellent. I did look to see whether I could set something similar using IFTTT triggers and actions. Sadly I cannot. Although I can create Triggers which are set by Tado going into Home or into Away mode, it is not possible to create an Action on IFTTT for Ring.

To my mind, smart home integration really does work best if I’m not having to remember to change lots of modes manually!

HI, I noticed some have mentioned this, but I also wanted to add my suggestion in hopes this becomes a priority.

I would love to have an option to add another mode for when we are home awake, vs home and all in bed.

Just the flexibility to add another mode(s) regardless of the specifics as those can be customized once additonal modes are available.

The Alarm Modes, which can be used to modify the behavior of your cameras, does not have any effect on the ‘pushed’ text-type Notifications that you get on your Ring App. Notifications for ‘Motion Alerts’ is currently “always” or “none” regardless of the Alarm Mode.

If you like the idea, besides the current ability to modify the behavior of camera’s “Motion Detection” and “Live View” with the **Alarm Modes, you also want to modify the behavior of “Motion Alerts” (the Notifications) **then you are NOT alone! Here in the Feature Request Board forum is where Ring Team look to see what currently unavailable feature that people might want. And the more “Thumbs Up” Kudo votes the Ring Teams see there will better get their attention, increasing the chances of them providing that request. You should add your Kudo vote, if you like the requesting author’s idea (add your “Thumbs Up” Kudo vote on the left side of the author’s starting post), to help get the attention of the Ring Teams on the links below ( these are similar requests for this feature option, so I’ve probably missed quite a few others):

This is a basic requirement in today’s world.

At a minimum there should be geofencing to alert you if you are X miles away and the system is disarmed. Frontpoint your competitor has this. Ring please add this soon.

Either offer it natively or allow integrations (SmartThings) to be able to set it

Make it just like the Nest thermostat - very effective.

Also mode change by time- ie change between day and night mode automatically by setting the time.

Agreed - how can Ring be a smart system if it has to be manually managed?? Modes is not a feature ready for prime time and the team should be embarrassed to release this when Nest / Google have automated location detection.

Year later still no auto switching? Might be time to look at nest again

It would be great if camera status (eg armed, disabled, lost connection) and/or the current mode of the overall ring system (disabled, home, away) was available via the API so it can be consumed by Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant - it’s currently not reported. This status would allow a routine/automation to check state on a schedule or other trigger and remind to change mode. Even better would be possibility of changing modes (using a security pin) via API, eg Home Assistant set mode to away based on geofencing.
