    I bought this to replace one that wouldn't stay on line. This one works fine. I use a lot of these and I've only had one go bad.

    I like having my contact sensors. They alert me when my doors or windows are opened. They were easy to install and purchasing the six packs allowed me to save money.

    Knocking a star off for the setup process which only goes through 50 % of the time. Works well once setup and sometimes the battery life is sometimes 75% or lower sitting in storage.

      Hi HittR.

      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. The features and technology provided by the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor (2nd Gen.) are incredibly valuable and help provide you with peace of mind about your home security. We can definitely provide you with more information regarding the concern mentioned in your review.

      It sounds like you are experiencing issues with the device in regards to setup process. The Ring Alarm Contact Sensor (2nd Gen.) allows you to expand your Ring Alarm system to secure each door and window in your home and get alerts as soon as they open. The Ring Alarm and all Ring Alarm accessories require a subscription for in-app features and digital notifications, including digital arming and disarming and integration with other Ring, Echo, Alexa, and third-party products. If a Ring Alarm Contact Sensor fails during setup, you may have to adjust the position of the magnet and sensor. Move the sensor closer to the magnet or in a more optimal alignment.

    These were needed for new home after a move since removing the old contacts would have damaged the paint at old home. These are easy to install and works great at new home.

    These contact sensors can be used on windows and doors. They're easy to install. When they're paired with the base station it makes your home more secure.

    Easy to put up & add on to work with your Ring alarm. This allowed me to have the amount of sensors I wanted throughout my home. They were easy to put but the adhesive that comes with doesn’t work well. I used the scotch double sided tape. Surprisingly the tape worked better than the adhesive did
