For people planning a longer trip, what Ring settings should be checked before leaving? I am particularly interested in shared access for someone checking the house and receiving alerts while in another country.

I work on Xcuro and put together resources for people comparing dental care in Mexico, including this Mexico dentistry directory. Planning time away from home is part of that research; I am not describing a trip I have taken.

Would you test shared access before departure and keep a separate contact for internet or power problems? I would appreciate practical advice on anything that is easy to overlook.
