Snooze LIGHTS on floodlight camera

Amazing this is not a top feature already! So annoying.

I mocked this up,

Enhance “Snooze motion on all cameras” Mockup

Refer to this new feature request . This would allow you to snooze any combination of motion alerts, recording and/or lights. As with the existing “Motion Snooze” functionality, this could be applied to all devices or on a per-device basis. Let me know what you think.

There is a work-around. You can turn all three motion zones off via Device Settings > Light Settings > Motion Zones for Lights. Of course, you need to remember to turn them back on at the end of the evening (which I forget to do nine times out of ten).

There is currently no way to snooze the motion lights. We have 2 floodlight cameras in our backyard and when we have people over to hang out there are constantly going ON and OFF everytime someone moves. It is incredibly annoying. They told me the only way to do this would be to power off the cameras – which are hardwired in – which would mean shutting off a circuit breaker that powers many other things. So basically an unworkable solution.

PLEASE PLEASE add the ability to snooze lights along with snoozing motions alerts!!!

YES!! How was this not built in? Did no one think of this for instances like the Fourth of July? I do not want my lights coming on while kids (and adults ?) are enjoying the firework display.
Also as previously mentioned above, what if I just want to enjoy a bonfire in my back yard without the lights switching on and off? Come on Ring, simple fix I’m sure!!

Workarounds:

  1. place a switch in the line. You can then switch the electricity off to the floodlight cam.

  2. flip breaker to off

  3. install a smart switch to turn it off using an app.

Just some suggestions meanwhile

There is a workaround as wickedbeernut said, but this feature would definitely be nice. I routinely have to adjust it and then I have to re-enable and then reconfigure the light sensitivtiy. It would be nice to have an easier way to snooze the lights.

I’ll echo this issue. My spotlight cam is a PITA on my back deck when we sit out there in the evening. I typically put a hat or cover over the light. Ridiculous.

I think my ultimate plan (it’s a Ring Spotlight mount) is to install a smartswitch so I can turn it off for a period of time. Forgetting to turn it back on would be an issue.

Device Settings > Light Settings > Motion Zones For Light > set all 3 to “OFF” > Save

At Device choose Linked Devices > click on device NAME: Turn on lights > set times like 8PM to 6PM > Save

at this point light will turn on when camera detected motion. Now snooze as many times as you want

Ring should hire me >.>

please add option for snoozing lights!
When sitting outside with spotlight cams on, even when I toggle lights off they come back on. So I have to flip the switch to keep them off. However, when doing this I often forget to put them back on. Which, defeats the purpose of having them.

Please provide capability to snooze lights on security cameras independent of motion. When I go outside after dark, I want my cameras to continue working but I don’t want lights attracting bugs which often come into the house when I reopen the door. Thanks.

The current “Snooze Motion” does not Snooze the floodlights from coming on when motion is detected on the Floodlight Cam.

The work around currently is to have your Floodlight Cam(s) wired through a light switch or to go to Device Settings -> Light Settings -> Motion Zones for Lights -> and turning all 3 detection areas off. This must be repeated for each Floodlight Cam and then redone to turn the lights back on.

Including the motion activation in the Snooze Motion or designing a Light Snooze would be very nice.

Just commenting here to voice my concern and my interest in this becoming a feature!

It would be nice if there was toggle for the light on the spotlight cam to disable it. It’s aggravating when you’re in the yard at night having a fire and stargazing.

I agree. Not even “disarming” does it.

I too would love to see a light snooze feature. Now that we have snow, the light is exponentially brighter and it’s waking us up at night. I’d like the ability to automatically prevent the light from turning on between 10pm and 6am. Hard to believe this isn’t a feature.

Pllllssss pls. I am on my 4th ring solar flood light. Would not have bought into ring flood light if I knew this was a limitation. Pls ring this is a common sense feature which should have been there to begin with.

I agree with everyone, this needs to be a feature.

I came here specifically to submit a feature request for this also. I can’t stargaze in my backyard because there’s no way to snooze the lights for a set amount of time and it’s pointless to constantly turn the lights off thru the app because unless you stand stiff as a board and don’t move, they will come right back on.

Searching to see if this is a feature…looks like it’s still a request! Come on Ring, this would be a great customer feature and selling point. Please add it soon, or update the community about options

Agreed, this functionality is badly needed.
