Go to settings from the main page of the app, select Modes, then Home or Away and set exit delays

Did you set the door as a main door?

It was working perfectly fine. Never changed any settings. Added a few sensors around the other doors and windows might have something to do with it. Thanks will look into it

Make sure you have an exit delay set. 30 seconds or whatever you need. And make sure that the door your entering/exiting from is designated as your main door. You can have multiple main doors. Check your settings.

I've got mine set for 60 secs to leave. I have no clue what anyone is saying by a main door. I tell Alexa I'm leaving and open any of my doors that have senors and close it behind me.

I'm a current Ring user (have a Ring Doorbell Pro and Floodlight Camera) and am thinking of replacing my current monitored home security system (its back end is powered by Alarm.com) as the monitoring service will be up for renewal in a month.

I’ve set up my alarm system and have come up across a couple questions and thought I’d check with the group before calling ring to see if someone can answer.
