Describe the enhancement

Ring cameras with integrated lights have a motion-activated lights setting. When enabled the lights are triggered by a built-in motion sensor. Unfortunately this setting is not currently available in the Home Assistant Ring integration. Could you please add it?

Use cases

Whilst motion-activation of the lights is desirable most of the time, there are times when it is undesirable (for example when you are sitting in the garden in the evening and are using different lights). Whilst the Ring app can be used to disable motion-activated lights you have to remember to manually re-enable later. Furthermore the setting is only available via the Ring app for the system owner account. Having the toggle available in Home Assistant would enable it to be made available to other members of the household and would also enable useful automations, such as an automation to re-enable motion activated lights if it has been off for x hours.

Anything else?

In the Ring app the setting is available for relevant devices in device settings > light settings > motion-activated lights. Please note, this setting is different to the motion detection setting (which is already available in the integration). The motion detection setting relates to video event recording rather than lights.

To add to my original post, this request has also been made to the developer of the Ring-MQTT app. He doesn't seem to have time/interest to add it to his app, but he did make a comment that might be useful if/when someone tries to add it to this integration: tsightler/ring-mqtt#320 (comment)
