    Love these sensors. I travel a lot for work and I pay for the ring security system annually. I can have alerts sent straight to my phone if any window or door is opened.

    These little things are far too finicky. Have to regularly reconnect them to the base station, sometimes the base station can't even find them. Too bad I'm already in over $1000 for the ring system. Its not really all that great.

    Couldn’t alarm my windows so the shutters were alarmed. If you are going to do it spend a bit more and include windows and sliding glass doors

    I love the ring system and all the accessories you can buy to fit your security needs. The only downside is it falls off the door when someone opens it. May just be the way I attached it

    Integrates directly (locally) with Home Assistant and doesn't need the Ring API. So far, so good. No issues with false status.

    I purchased the whole set for my home security and I purchased about 40 sensors . It was not cool when I purchased a set of 6 and 1 came non functioning and I had to take them off and return the whole set. I purchased a few sets that had that issue but when i did get them all, they worked good.

    Purchased to add more sensors around the house and these are identical to those purchased in a kit. They mount to doors and windows along with pairing without any issues.
