Step 4: You’ll then see several detection and alert options on the right side of the screen. This includes Ring Alerts, Motion Detection, Motion Alerts, and Motion Warning.

Step 5: You can enable or disable these Ring notifications by toggling them on or off.

Step 6: For more customization options, select the Device Settings option that’s located below these togglable settings.

Step 7: Next, select Notification Settings.

Step 8: You’ll now find a few other options to adjust, including Rich Notifications and App Alert Tones.

Further customize your notifications with your smartphone settings

Ring gives you plenty of ways to turn off and customize notifications directly in the smartphone app, but you can also change your notification settings using your built-in smartphone settings.

For example, on a Samsung phone, you can open your Settings and navigate to the Apps submenu. Then, after selecting the Ring app from your list of installed apps, you can choose to enable or disable notifications.

You can even make it so notifications are silent – allowing you to see a pop up on your phone without the annoying vibration and chime that typically comes with it. Be sure to dive into the settings menu for your specific smartphone to see how much additional customization options you have at your disposal.

Eufy shows off four security cameras and an upcoming robot vacuum

Eufy is a big name in the smart home space, and it had plenty of cool gadgets to show off at CES 2024. Along with giving consumers a closer look at four recently launched security cameras, Eufy revealed the X10 Pro Omni robot vacuum and mop, which looks to be an affordable alternative to flagships from Roborock and Ecovacs.

The X10 Pro Omni doesn't make any huge innovations in the world of robot vacuums. Most of its features we've already seen on other robots, such as its ability to empty its dustbin, clean its mop, then dry it to prevent the accumulation of mildew. It also boasts an avoidance system to ensure it's not bumping into any shoes, toys, or other items that have accidentally been left in its path. And while its 8,000 Pa of suction is impressive, it's a number a handful of other robots have already hit.

Roborock shows off highly automated robot vacuums at CES 2024
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

Roborock is responsible for many of the best robot vacuums, and this year is shaping up to be another big one for the company. A whole fleet of robot vacuums were on display at CES 2024, including the highly automated S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra -- both of which can connect to your home drainage system to automatically empty and refill their water reservoirs.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most luxurious of the bunch, offering a self-maintained cleaning system that will empty water tanks, refill water tanks, dispense detergent, wash its mop with hot water, and dry its mop with warm air. All this is possible due to its newfound ability to connect to your home's built-in drain lines, removing the need for you to fuss around with dirty water tanks or refill water reservoirs (which is arguably the worst part of owning a robot vacuum).
