Ring Alarm?

I doubt it's your Hubitat, sounds like perhaps your Ring integration is broken, or you access code changed, or something else.
I'd suggest making a backup then manually deleting this app from the "Apps code" and the devices drivers you have from this integration from "Drivers code" and then install again (manually or from HPM, up to you).

I restored a backup version of my Hubitat hub (a very early version) and basically started over from scratch. I was then able to reinstall the "Unofficial Ring Connect" and get all of my Ring devices apparently reconnected with Hubitat on 01/13/2021.

The Ring Door Sensors and the Ring Motion Sensors are all connected and will communicate updates back to Hubitat as I expect.

The Ring Doorbell Pro 2 and Ring Indoor Cam both haven't had any activity since 01/13/2021, so these two devices are essentially useless right now. The Doorbell is being shown as a "Ring Virtual Camera" while the Indoor Cam is being shown as a "Ring Virtual Camera with Siren". Do you have any ideas what may be wrong?

The Ring Alarm Hub seems to be connected OK and is getting regular updates from Ring. I can set off the Ring Alarm Siren in Hubitat but I am not able to change the Ring Alarm mode in Hubitat (i.e. change from "Disarmed" mode to "Armed-Home"). Aren't you supposed to be able to change the Ring Alarm mode in Hubitat?

Sounds like your IFTTT connection is broken which is what tells your HE that there is motion.
The alternative is you could use a HTTP Momentary switch and expose that to Alexa and then have alexa "switch it" when motion occurs if you want to avoid IFTTT.

Yes. I'm doing that right now. @Sebastien has great instructions here.

Thanks for your help and timely responses. I finally got it to work with IFTTT last night, but I really don't like the idea of spending $ 48 per year on IFTTT for applets to get the Ring Doorbell ring events, the Ring Doorbell motion events and the Ring Indoor Cam motion events into Hubitat. I am a accountant and (you probably guessed it) I'm proud to be dirt cheap. I've already exposed Hubitat virtual switches to Alexa successfully, using Alexa routines to activate the switches, so that seems to be a better way to go for me.

I am already using my three free IFTTT applets to make phone calls to my cell phone (when the fire alarm goes off, when water is detected in my basement and when the Ring Alarm siren goes off). I am hoping Hubitat will do an upgrade and be able to make phone calls.
