Managing Locations in the Ring app

The Locations function in the Ring app allows you to group and manage your Ring devices based on their physical address. You will need to create a Location when you set up a Ring account. You can have multiple Locations on a single Ring account, and each Location will have a name. When you make changes in settings, they are specific to a Location.

Ring Subscription Plans: While not required to use Locations, you can only have one Ring Plan (Standard or Premium) to cover one Location. Ring Basic Plans are per device, and each Location may have multiple Basic Plans.
