U
Conditional Alarm Mode Scheduling

I would like to request the addition of conditional logic for Ring Alarm Mode Schedules.

Currently, scheduled mode changes always execute regardless of the alarm's current mode. This creates a security concern for users who rely on schedules for everyday use but occasionally leave home for extended periods.

Example use case:

  • Every night at 10:00 PM, automatically switch to Home mode if the system is disarmed.
  • Every morning at 7:00 AM, automatically Disarm the system only if it is currently in Home mode.
  • If the system is currently in Away mode (for example, because I am traveling or on vacation), the scheduled arm to Home mode and morning disarm should be skipped and the system should remain armed in Away mode.

This feature (that is available in other systems) would allow users to maintain convenient daily automation without having to remember to disable schedules every time they leave home. It would also prevent an alarm from unintentionally changing modes or disarming while the homeowner is away, making the system more secure.

A simple implementation could allow each scheduled action to include an optional condition, such as:

  • Run only if current mode is: Disarmed, Home, or Away
  • Skip this schedule if the current mode does not match

This enhancement would significantly improve both the flexibility and security of Ring Alarm Mode Schedules while remaining easy for users to understand and configure.

Thank you for considering this feature request.
