I’m a little confused. This help article talks about a manual on/off switch for the lights. Does this not interact with detection?
Controlling the Floodlights and Light Settings on Your Floodlight Cam
Every function of the floodlights on your Floodlight Cam is available on your Ring App. The remainder of this article will explain the various controls available to utilize your floodlights.
Manual “Lights” Control
The manual “lights” control is the control that appears above the “motion alerts” toggle on your device’s main menu in the Ring app. Toggle this control to manually turn the floodlights on and off.
Note: This control overrules any other setting or controls that are set with the Ring app. Regardless of whether you’ve scheduled the lights to be on or off or whether it’s day or night, this control will always turn on your lights.
**Note: ** Quickly turning your lights on and off via a physical switch is actually a manual override of sorts and is found in any brand of floodlight, not just the Floodlight Cam, as a safety feature. To turn off your floodlights after a power cycle, use the manual “lights” control in your Ring app.
