New HC-3 and H3-C SUN announced January 20, 2024

Really liking the new controller look, but I can't justify the cost to upgrade. Wonder if we can convince Ring to do a trade-in program??

A year and a half later, have there been any updates to what can be assigned to the four real buttons?

from the product announcement, 1.5 years ago:

"Real Button Setup
On the Real Button Setup Page you can change the operation of the four Real Buttons
on the the handheld controller. You can change the button action of each one to Horn /
Whistle, Forward / Reverse, Home Page, Stop All and more! You can change these
settings to suit the way you like to operate. "

When the HC-3 first came out I contacted Ring and asked what those buttons could be programmed to, and this was the response:

The HC-3 buttons can currently be programmed for Horn, Reverse, Bell, Stop All and Home (5 options).  It is on our possible to do list to add other options.  Once again we will see how nay people ask and what is their biggest interest.

I don't have a HC-3 (yet), but was curious if this list had been updated, or if it is still the same 5 options.

so the announcement said:
1. horn/whistle
2. reverse/forward
3. home
4. stop all
and more

The response you got:
1.horn/whistle
2. bell
2.reverse (I guess forward is implied)
3. stop all
4. home


so the "and more" was the bell.... ;-)  so technically the announcement was correct, although the "and more" was the bell...

you would think it would be easy to add something...

I guess the real question, has anyone (and actually a fair number of people) in the last 1.5 years ASKED for more?

That's only fair...
