Disabling Ring doorbell for shabbos

[@Yehuda]

I'm being told that you can easily schedule your router to turn off wifi for a specific device for a set period of time (such as Shabbos), and then when a doorbell isn't connected to wifi, it totally turns off - no sensors go off, etc.

Retaining video is very, very nice. Use it much more often that I thought we would.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for Ring vs. Nest.

Not true for my Ring 2. Red lights on the doorbell are still triggered with motion.

The former - turning off wi-fi for your camera - I can vouch for entirely. For google wi-fi for example, you can do this the same way you do Family Wi-Fi - make a new kid - call it 'Shabbos Yid' - and associate all of your ring devices with it. Schedule it to disable wi-fi from Friday night to Motzash.

As for the latter - i.e. what happens to the doorbell when the wifi connection is lost - I don't believe they have local storage and can hold the videos offline until the wi-fi comes back, but I can't guarantee that you aren't setting off the motion sensor or camera. I would suggest you AYLOR to see if that even makes a difference.
