Anyway to add to armed away, armed home and disarmed?

Interesting point about interior lighting. One other thing I wanted to mention is that I am so sick and tired of the USPS or UPS dropping off packages on my front porch and not bothering to knock on the door or ring my doorbell. Amazon was very bad about sending packages with no signature required, regardless of the price of the item inside the box. For a long time I struggled with a way to know when someone arrived at my front porch without triggering an intrusion alert. I can now do it without coding by arming/disarming my system with routines and custom rules to notify me, but for this reason and the above reasons for outdoor security is why I have been harping so much that ST should address this issue as I know I am not the only one that wants warning notifications for what is happening outside the home.

For this particular use case, knowing that a package has been delivered,I use the Kuna porch light which has a motion triggered camera, a light, two way audio intercom, and a panic siren. I really like it. But there’s no integration with SmartThings.

You can get more integration with ring or the official integration with skybell, but each of these three has somewhat different features so it just depends on exactly what you need.

I’m actually waiting to get a second Kuna until their HomeKit compatible version is out, because I really want this:

Ring vs Skybell vs Kuna vs?

I’d like to pull the trigger on a purchase for a new Smart Doorbell. It’s a toss up between Ring and Skybell. Does anyone else have a suggestion before I click approve purchase?!

But everybody has different requirements. There are a lot of ways to approach security issues.
