Question 1

is there an option to use a plug-in power supply (instead of batteries that need to be replaced periodically)?

Accepted Answer

You could get a universal ac/dc adapter ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07NM1ZM3V ), turn it to 3V output voltage, cut the cable and connect it to the battery contacts of the sensor.  Make sure you get the polarity correct, otherwise you might destroy the detector!  I'm pretty certain that Ring will not honor any warranty in this case, so do this at your own risk.

Question 2

How do you set a schedule on the 2nd generation? I only want to detect motion at night.

Accepted Answer

I do not believe that you can 'schedule' a motion detector - at least I haven't been able to do that with Gen2...HOWEVER...if by 'night' you mean 'when you are all locked up and in bed...'  then once in AWAY mode you can have you motion detectors 'trip with delay' (so you can get to the key pad to disarm)  or 'trip to alarm' which means there is NO delay and siren will sound immediately...
Scenario #1...it is 8PM and your house is locked up for the night...In HOME mode your detectors can be set to 'ignore' any motion as you walk around the house...the only sensors that would be armed are your doors and windows...
Scenario #2...when you go to bed at 11PM, enter code and hit AWAY.  This will arm all sensors - even the motion detectors or delay/no delay settings...
I think this is how most folks run their Ring System...Hope this helps!!

No. The Ring Alarm Motion Detector is an indoor device, it is not certified for outside conditions.
