I have the Ring skill enabled and have been using Alexa routines to announce contact sensors open & close events but when I tell Alexa to turn a motion sensor on or off it tells me the sensor doesn't support that.
I don't use Ring devices, but for other devices I've been able to set up start and stop times in Routines. Each device is a bit different though, so no telling how the Ring devices work. See attached screen captures.

I've been able to set up times to turn my HEPA filter on/off, turn on/off my Govee LED lights and set the colors and brightness, etc. I typed in the appropriate Alexa commands that work with each device while setting up the routine. Sometimes it is a bit of trial and error, but once you get it right it works great.

BTW, in my screen capture when you see "TV" in the routine name that isn't actually controlling my TV. Rather it is controlling Govee or Kasa LED lights to set the lighting moods for watching TV at various times of the day or night. For example, at sunset the lights all dim a bit, after it is totally dark outside they dim even more, then after a certain time some lights turn off as it gets close to bedtime.
