Automate mode switching with mode schedules

Mode schedules¹ allow you to create a schedule to change the mode of your Ring Video Doorbells and Security Cameras. The Mode Schedule will automatically change your location's Mode to Home, Away, or Disarmed at the time and days chosen.

For example, if you routinely arm your system at night, you may want to create a schedule that will automatically switch your location to Home Mode¹ every night at 10pm. If you put your system in Home Mode every night but have a different evening routine on the weekend, you can set up a second schedule just for weekends to accommodate your lifestyle.

While Owners and Shared Users can arm or disarm¹ using the app at anytime, only Owners can create and delete schedules.
