Floodlight Cam and Motion Schedule
Our floodlight cam is covering our outdoor patio which we use frequently after dark. I have a Motion Schedule rule that disables Motion every day of the week from 7am- 11pm. However, the lights on floodlight cam will come on when it is dark if it detects motion during this time period. I had thought that the Motion Schedule rule would have not activated the lights? Otherwise, we have to manually turn motion zones on and off for the lights when it becomes dark? Is this correct? Or have we missed something? Thanks.

    I have the same question, again with activity on the patio. The referenced link does not address the problem. Mine is set for detection between 1AM and 6AM. Tonight I had over 130 motion/light events over a 90 minute period, from 6:30PM to 8:00PM. Those are ones I want to ignore.

      I have the same issue. The software is not doing what it should, which is to disable the light during specified times. Come on Ring get this fixed!

        I don't see in the video, or documents, where the lights can be disabled, by a schedule. For example, our outdoor patio , where the floodlight cam is installed, has alot of activity after 6pm, and until times when it is dark. When it is dark,ish the floodlight comes on automatically with motion. What I would like to be able to do is to create a schedule that says the floodlight never comes on between 6pm- 11pm, and I still don't see how that can be accomplished. Sorry if I am missing something, I just don't see it.
