Door sensor status in Alexa routine?

Products Ring Integrations
1

I have been using Ring system (video doorbell, 3 cameras, and lots of door sensors) for about a year and quite satisfied. Recently I decided to add another door sensors on my garage doors since sometimes I forget to close them at night. What I thought was if the door sensor status is open at a certain point of time (e.g., at 10 PM when I usually go to bed), Alexa can say the door is open.

I attached sensors to the garage doors and tried to create a routine in Alexa app, but failed to achieve what I was looking for. The only thing I could do was when the door actually opens (or closes) in a certain time period, Alexa can say a message or (do other action).

But I believe it would be wonderful if Alexa can check the status of the Ring door sensor and notify it. Is there any way I can set things to do so? Am I missing something?
