I would recommend this to a friendHad to return
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.new to ring did not know these only work if you have the alarm portion. Not cameras and doorbell. I think they would have been great just like the rest of ring.
I would recommend this to a friendNeeds Improving but Ring Owners still need it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish they sold these in a single pack. The build quality is very fragile if it falls from where you put 9 times out of ten it will stop working properly, and thats even if it works out of the box properly. I had to mess up on me, one drained battery waay to fast and the other always said door was open. Had to return both. The new ones have been working good so far. I wish ring would make a better locking mechanism to keep it attached because its too easy to remove.

Posted .Hello RedC,
Thank you for taking the time to share your user experience with us. We understand the importance of having a seamless setup experience and how it can be concerning to see that the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor will not set up accordingly. Rest assured that it is a top priority for us to get this working for you.
Based on your review, it seems that you would like the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor to be sold in a singular pack and also that you are having trouble with a sensor saying open when it is not. We would like to note that Bestbuy offers the contact sensor in a 1-pack option. Please see the following link: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ring-alarm-contact-sensor-2nd-gen-1-pack-white/6403955.p?skuId=6403955.
Also, if you notice your contact sensor is saying open when the door is physically closed, we recommend checking to see if the notches on the sensor are lined up properly. If the notches are not lined up properly, it may cause the sensor to provide incorrect readings. Please see our help center article for more information: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039497552-Ring-Alarm-Contact-Sensor-Setup-and-Use.
