interesting, my Ring Alarm behaves a bit differently with Alexa…

I should mention… while I’m not sure if it makes any difference here, in the Alexa app under Devices/All Devices I edited my Ring Alarm system’s name and set it to “Security System”. (I did this because I was concerned there’d be potential for Alexa to get confused with its other use of the word “alarm”, as in a timer/alarm clock)

anyhow, with Alexa and my Ring alarm I can say:

  1. “Alexa, arm Security System” - and this will by default arm it to Home mode

  2. “Alexa, arm Security System to Away Mode” - and as expected this arms it to Away mode

I can optionally say:

  1. “Alexa, arm Security System in Home Mode” but that has same effect as the shorter 1st example
