A:AnswerDo you mean Google/Apple/Amazon systems?
If so, Ring works best with Alexa/Amazon since they are owned by same company and seamlessly work together. Google and Apple have new updates to work with Ring but just imagine if you'd rather buy parent child company, or third party child company? I personally went with Alexa and Eufy (which makes Alexa 3rd party doh!). But good luck!
A:AnswerI do not think there is an option for not using video. I just looked at my app and could not see an option.
However, if you don't want video you can purchase the Floodlight with motion sensor for a lot less.
I installed one of each.
A:AnswerHello Joe,
Great question! Yes, there is a manual toggle within the Ring app to turn the lights off. Additionally, you can schedule times when the lights should or should not be on.
