Arm and disarm Ring Alarm with mode schedules

Mode schedules¹ allow you to create a schedule to change the mode of your Ring Alarm system. The mode schedule will automatically change the Ring Alarm system'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 Ring Alarm 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 Alarm Owners and Shared Users can arm or disarm¹ using the app at anytime, only Alarm Owners can create and delete schedules.
