Wyze-Like Person Detection + Siren Automation for Ring
outdoor-siren
alarm-siren
Hi Ring Development Team,
I have a Ring Alarm system, an Amazon Echo Show 8, and a Ring Outdoor Cam Pro 4K, and I would really love to see one additional automation feature.
With my previous Wyze cameras, I could create an automation like:
Person detected → camera siren turns on for 30 seconds
I was disappointed to find that I can't currently do the same thing with my Ring Outdoor Cam Pro 4K. The camera already has a built-in siren, so it would be incredibly useful if Ring allowed that siren to be used as an automation action.
For example:
Ring Outdoor Cam Pro 4K detects a person → automatically activate the camera's outdoor siren
It would be even better if this could work through Ring Automations or Alexa Routines, so users could combine it with other devices. For example, my Echo Show 8 could announce that a person was detected while the Outdoor Cam's siren sounds outside.
I already have the Ring Alarm system, so having the ability to use the Outdoor Cam's existing siren this way would be a fantastic addition without requiring any additional hardware.
Pretty please, Ring! 😊 This is a feature I really miss from Wyze, and I think it would make the Ring ecosystem much more useful for security and deterrence.
Thank you for considering it!

One more feature request: Custom alerts and automations based on detection type:
I would also love to see Ring offer more customizable alerts and automation options based on what the camera detects, similar to the flexibility available with Wyze cameras.
For example, users could create different rules for different detection types:
Alexa integration: Make camera detection types available as individual triggers in Alexa Routines, rather than relying on a generic motion event.
Ideally, allow users to customize these actions, notification sounds, and alert priorities for each detection type, with options to set schedules, durations, and conditions to reduce false alarms.
It would be fantastic if these detection events could also be used as triggers in Ring Automations and Alexa Routines, allowing users to combine their Ring cameras, Ring Alarm system, Echo devices, lights, and other smart home devices.
The goal would be to give users more control over how their security system responds to different situations, rather than treating every motion event the same way. This would make the Ring ecosystem significantly more flexible, intelligent, and useful.
