  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy peasy lemon squeezie
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
What would have costed over $2k for a pro, you can use existing hardware and do it yourself in less than 30 min. Handyman or homemakers whatever your skill, all you need is a rake and a hoe and a peice of fertile land.. I mean, you have everything you need IN THE BOX and plenty of instructions. Go slowly, patience and it just works. Plenty of video help. Didn't even have to think hard. Hardest part? Thick fingers. If Ring can fix that, +1 star. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Works great on non-Ring Alarm Zwave network. Requires batteries.
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
Device works great. Was able to connect it to my Zwave network with Zwave SmartStart. Connected all my contact sensors to this retrofit kit and everything showed up and works as intended. It has only been a week since install and device seems to stay on my network and work without issue. The device runs on 2 CR123 battery (included) in parallel and does not run off a AC/DC adapter so it is not capable of being a Zwave repeater. At first glance I expected it to run on an AC adapter, but running on batteries makes sense too as the Ring Alarm system does have a battery backup so it can be important for this retrofit device to communicate without AC power. Hopefully there will be a version that has both, but I am unsure how long the batteries last in real world usage. The other thing to note is there was a screwdriver included for the screw terminals, and there is adhesive preapplied to the unit. It also does have two set of mounting holes, one set underneath the cover and one set on the rear where the device can slide into. However there is no mounting screws included. ... show more

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect to Monitor Generator (Unintended Use)
Configuration: Ring Retrofit Alarm Kit
I have a 20k whole house generator that I want to monitor the simple status of "Is utility power active and Is the generator running providing auxiliary power". I have the ability in my generators Automatic Transfer Switch to present either a normally open or normally closed relay position for both Main Power and Generator Power. I setup the Ring Retrofit Kit with wires going to my ATS to simply monitor for either circuit to open. If my Utility Power (Zone 1) opens then I know I just lost Utility power, when my Generator Power (Zone 2) opens, I know my generator is running. For both Zones in the Alarm Mode settings, I turn Away Mode and Home Mode to "Ignore when armed". Thus they are ignored from normal security operations. You. may say, "But the ring alarm system will notify me when utility power is lost, internet is lost etc." You would be correct, but my generator is set to exercise weekly, I want to know that it completed the activity as I am often not home to monitor. I was not sure if not having a resistive load across the terminals would cause an issue, but apparently it does not. I have no resistors in-line and it works just fine for monitoring continuity of a circuit. Note that this is simple "open/close" I am not feeding any kind of line voltage to the Ring terminals. It was very easy to setup and even works closed inside my Generator ATS panel, but my Alarm base station is literally on the other side of a nearby wall so that is why I am probably getting away with it enclosed in a big metal box. ... show more

  • 2.0 out of 5 stars 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
