    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.

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.

    Bought these for my son to put on the windows of his new home. He loves them. His girlfriend has an 11 year old who is autistic and is very good at figuring out locks and ways to get out of the house so they needed to know if the windows were opened. He has everything sent to his phone so that he knows when he is on the road and can call home if he needs to.
