      Hi Curt.

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

      Here at Ring, we believe that stronger communities are the key to safer neighborhoods. That is why we are driven to create products that help you protect what matters most at home and empower you to connect with your neighbors from wherever you are. Together, we’ll make neighborhoods safer!

      We are pleased to read that you are enjoying the benefits of having a Ring security device installed! The Ring Alarm Contact Sensor (2nd Generation) is made up of two separate parts: the sensor and the magnet. When you hold the contact sensor and magnet together and then pull them apart, you should see the LED ring flash green just once and hear a small chirp tone from the base station. (Chirp tones are enabled by default.)

      For your Ring Contact Sensor (2nd Generation) installation to work as designed, it's important to remember that:

      You can mount your contact sensor around almost any part of your door or window.
      The space between the contact sensor and the magnet must be 1 inch or less.
      When you open the door or window, you see the LED flash green (and hear the chirp tone, if enabled).
      There needs to be ½ inch of space around the sensor so you can slide it open to replace the batteries.
      Avoid the side of the door with the hinges.
      Skip areas close to a mail slot to prevent someone from reaching in and tampering with the sensor.
      Avoid mounting on clear glass windows to prevent intruders from identifying your security measures.
      Steel doors and aluminum door frames may occasionally cause interference for the contact sensor. Test the sensor on your door or window to determine if there are any issues.

      Visit our support center for more information on the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor (2nd Gen).

      Ring Community was launched to help deliver the most current news and educational information to our neighbors. This online forum is divided into four categories: Product Boards, Ring Updates, Tips + Tricks, and a Moderators’ Corner. The Product Boards are where you can begin new topics with your questions or feedback; there is also a search option that helps you find topics that have already been posted by other neighbors.

      All the best,
      Nicole from Ring. Ring

    Loved the compact of this add-on motion detector for my Ring system. Would be better if it could turn off when Ring system is set to DISARM. Somehow it is still active, just the notification is turned off. Will wait to see how the battery live...hope it will last at least a year.
