Is there a way to enable and disable alerts? (Like if we are working in the area or having a party, I don't want text alerts.)

Hello Emma, The Ring app will allow you to disable Motion Alerts from a Ring device for a pre-set length of time. This Motion Snooze feature lets you silence your notifications temporarily without editing the device settings. You can avoid excessive notifications during times when there is a lot of activity around your home. Cameras will continue to record and videos will appear in your Event History if you are subscribed to a Ring Protect Plan. More details on how to snooze motion alerts can be found here: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000047206-How-to-Use-Motion-Snooze-and-Global-Snooze Also, Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner.
