Ring, Caseta and Alexa
For a while I was looking for better intergration and more detailed control from what than the IFTTT app could do between the Ring and Lutron Caseta apps.
I recently received my Echo device and downloaded the Alexa App and found out that it exists using Alexa's Routine settings.
When the motion detection goes off on my Ring Door Bell, Alexa runs a Routine script where
(1) Alexa turns on my lights between 5 PM and 5AM.
(2) Alexa announces that there was motion and the lights were turned on
(3) Alexa waits X minutes
(4) Alexa turns off the lights
You can program multiple routines and variables which I could not do with IFTTT.
Just wanted to share this with others in case if you were like me.

You have to add each smart light or individually into the routine to set the duration and brightness. Selecting a light group will not present the options for the duration on each light. You can select motion or doorbell press to activate the routine.
