Hi there  
Since a few months Ring is offering a « mode » feature that will change recording/notifications depending on the option selected (off/home/away).  
It would be great to be able to change the mode in a flow ?  
Is there any way to do it @denniedegroot ?  
Thanks

Did you guys figure this out? Is it possible to set mode through Homey?

Hi there… not really  
On my side I am using Alexa routines as a gateways between Homey Flows and Ring Alarm. It does the trick  
Cheers

Ah, so you can trigger an Alexa routine through a homey flow (ie all people have left the home).

I have never used Alexa, so maybe a dumb questions. 🤦‍♂️🙂

Hi there,  
In Alexa you can setup a routine triggered by a change in Ring Alarm mode and then add homey flows in the actions
