    Doesn't work properly with SmartThinks

    Does not work with SmartThings despite people saying that it works for them - from two sensors I bought, one paired properly but showed as smoke and leak sensor besides a contact sensor and the other one doesn't pair at all. Would have uploaded pictures if this defective site would've let me.

      Hi Daman. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

      We understand the importance of having all relevant product information prior to purchasing.

Rest assured, we are here to provide you with solutions today.

      It sounds like the device is not performing as expected. At this time, Samsung SmartThings is not officially supported by Ring, so some features may not fully operate as you are expecting with this integration. Ring Alarm is an affordable and comprehensive DIY home security system. Mount Ring Alarm Contact Sensors to any door or window to monitor whether they’re open or closed. Contact Sensors are battery-operated and can be set up with double-sided tape or using screws.

      You can use your Ring Alarm Contact Sensors to trigger Alexa routines. Ring Alarm and all Ring Alarm accessories require a subscription for digital notifications, in-app features, digital arming/disarming, and integration with other Ring, Echo, and third party products.

      Hi Twintips007.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand the importance of having your Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2nd Gen to operae as intended so that you can effectively monitor your home. The features and technology behond the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2nd Gen are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitley provide you with more information regarding the concern that you mentioned in your review.

      It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with reinstalling Ring Alarm Contact Sensor. The best way to remove a Contact Sensor would be to use a hairdryer to soften the adhesive and then using a putty knife to peel the Contact Sensor off of its mounting surface without damaging that area. 3M double sided tape or 3M Command Strips is also a great replacement for the adhesive and can be found at most stores or online.

    Works fine. No problems so far. The instructions could be a bit better about how to place the sensor to allow opening to change the battery.

    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.
