    • Easy to install and integrate with existing contact sensor zones - up to 6
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
I have been using ring Security from last 3 years. When the Retrofit Kit was introduced, it was very expensive ($199), so decided not to use the retrofit. I installed wireless contact sensors that came with Ring Security on my Front and Back doors and few of the windows. All of my upstairs and many of downstairs windows were without sensors. So when i recently saw the price of Retrofit $79 with $7 coupon, i went head and bought the kit. I followed the installation video instructions and connected all of my 6 existing wired zones to the Retrofit Kit. It hardly took 30 minutes for me to install and test the zones. Now i am happy that all the doors and windows have sensors and i will get a notification if anyone is opened or closed. I removed wireless sensors from my front and back doors after installing the Retrofit Kit. ... show more

    • Great to update and old wired system.
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
My old 30+ year old wired alarm system was long overdue for modernization. This one device kept me from having to install wireless sensors on four doors and four windows. It’s a little expensive for what it is, but it was cheaper than buying eight sensors. Install is easy enough, just be sure that you label each wire before removing it from the old panel. Or in my case, just start random testing if the lab,es happen to all fall off while maneuvering the short wires that might system had installed. ... show more

    • Makes transitioning from prior wired system easy
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
Purchased a house with a wired Brinks (now ADT) system. Decided to go with RING. With this device I was able to fairly quickly reuse the existing wired sensors. Biggest hassle is dealing with the rats nest of wireing from the "professional" alarm installers. Issues: The RING app needs a better process for naming zones (same for the smoke/o2 detectors) Needs to include, or have available, a power source for reusing the motion and glass break sensors commonly used (7.5 - 16V DC). ... show more

    • Easy install; easy adaptation of old wired sensors - only missing one feature!
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
Had a FirstAlert alarm system in the house. Wanted to move to Ring for a remote-arm/disarm solution but didn't want to re-sensor all my doors and windows if I didn't have to. The wiring portion of it was about as simple as it gets and it supported all my door and window contacts, although there was no way to hook in my old alarm's interior and exterior siren, wired glass break sensors. I didn't try my wired motion sensors, although I read some people had luck. Only issue I had was trying to get the retrofit kit to be recognized on the system. I still don't know how I got it to work, I just know the instructions showing which button to press to start the process once you pop the cover back on was too much for my feeble brain to understand. One way Ring could improve this product is by adding a board that supplies voltage enough to power up their Ring alarm keypads. Most old-school alarms have the keypad powered from the panel, so there's already wires running from the panel to the existing keypads; it would've been nice if I could've re-purposed that wire to provide constant charge to the Ring keypads! I'm still mulling over how to get power to my keypads using the existing wire runs I set aside, maybe we'll get lucky and Ring will work that situation out. I prefer not having to remove things and charge em up once or twice a year! ... show more

    • Inconsistent. Works great - then false alarms. Support is amazing - then it's not.
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
For a baseline - I'm quite familiar with electrical circuits, and initially studied Electrical Engineering in college. I'm also quite handy, and have installed dozens of smart switches, outlets, etc. in my home. While I'm not a professional installer, I know how to build and test a circuit - which in the end, is all an alarm system is. When I initially installed my Ring alarm sometime last year, I was disappointed that I couldn't re-use my existing wired sensors. So when I finally saw the retrofit kit was available, I couldn't wait to get it installed and add in all of my wired zones. Initial setup was a breeze! I unboxed the unit, mounted it on the wall using the adhesive strips already on it. I placed the retrofit kit right next to my old panel, and moved my zones over one by one. Because of the close proximity, I didn't need any additional wire splices. Total setup time was less than 30 minutes for 5 zones - including testing each zone as it was connected. Each of my zones had a 2K resister at the end of the common wire. One issue with the retrofit kit which seems to be a physical design flaw - the screw driver supplied doesn't allow you to really tighten down on the terminal screws. It easily strips the screw. Because my common wires were actually solid (the resistor legs), that made it difficult to make sure I had a tight connection when two common's were shared. The wiring for the retrofit kit, much like an alarm panel has one positive terminal for each of the 8 zones, and then it shares the common terminal across 2 zones. So you'll have [1] [C] [2] [3] [C] [4], where zones one and two both share the common terminal, as to zones 3 and 4. Another physical flaw is that once you screw a terminal screw in, even unscrewing it all the way doesn't seem to release the wire clamp fully. So getting a wire back into a terminal that at one time was clamped down, becomes much more difficult than getting the wire into the terminal the first time. I didn't realize this until I purchased a second retrofit kit for a different location, and paid special attention to the terminal clamp as I unscrewed it and removed the wire. It was clear that it didn't return to the same position as a yet to be used terminal. Aside from the relatively minor physical flaws, the real trouble started 12 hours after installation, when one of the zones blipped open then closed again in the middle of the night. I thought it was due to a window that was unlocked and may have dropped just enough to cause the sensor to open, but after securing that window, the same thing happened the following night. Then one of the zones started showing that it was open, when it was clearly closed. That door has both an old wired door close sensor, as well as a new Ring wireless contact sensor. So it's easy to see the mismatch as the wireless sensor showed open/close, and the wired sensor never registered the close. Testing the zone with a continuity tester confirmed 2K resistance across the circuit, so there was clearly a mismatch between the real-time state of the zone, and what the retrofit kit was showing. I contacted support, and my first experience was exceptional. They passed me through to level 2 support after asking some basic questions. The level 2 support tech had me test the resistance across all of my zones, and I found that one of the zones had a strange reading. The tech had me leave that zone out, and told me the retrofit kit voltage readings were now looking normal - that must have been it. Only it wasn't. A few days later, the same problems showed up again. I called support, but this time got stuck with level 1 support asking for pictures of my closed door, and asking for all of the details I had previously supplied. I mentioned that I had already submitted all of this, but was told "there are many tickets, I can't find this one." After wasting about an hour on the phone with the level 1 tech, she finally managed to submit the escalation to level 2, but this time I was told it would take 24-48 hours to hear back. About 36 hours later, a technician finally called me back, but I wasn't near the home, so I was told to email him an hour before I got there, and he'd give me a call. It's 48 hours later, and still no call. I decided to perform a bit more troubleshooting myself, moving each zone so that none shared a common, and taking the two zones that were misbehaving and moving them to a different terminal in the retrofit box. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem. These zones were working perfectly when they were connected to the original security system just a few weeks back, and now they're completely faulty. Here's the crazy thing - I ordered two of these devices, for two different locations. One location is just non-stop false alarms and odd behavior, and the other location is working perfectly (1 week in). ... show more
