I just purchased and installed three floodlight wireds, no cameras, just the floodlight with motion sensor. Can you use these floodlights manually with a switch, three way switches? Or do they always have to be turned on at the switch and only control lighting via the Ring app? The lights are online in the app after install and work fine, but once I manually turn on/off the floodlight with a switch, it goes offline. At this point I am pretty sure that the switches have to be "always on" and only control them via the app. I just wanted to see if anyone else can control the floodlights via the light switch.

You need 24/7 power unless you want them to have to boot up and reconnect to WiFi every time you push the switch on.
