[@PatrickC139]

This is a really helpful channel. I appreciate it. I like how you break things down in a very easy-to-understand fashion.

Can you use without the base station?

[@andersontibbetts950]

You are the best.

Is it possible to have the contact sensor or the alarm base station to make a beep noise when someone opens the door since we will be installing it in our office so we can know when someone comes in?

[@davidmichael9696]

This is definitely the way it should work. I get as far as the scan QR code but when I choose the code scanned, it does not take me to screen to finish setting up the contact sensor, it takes me to the set up a device screen where I started. Happens every time. I just go through the same sequence over and over; however, the main controller does beep when I separate the contact magnet. Don’t know where to find them to finish setting up and no devices are listed anywhere in my system.

Update: called Ring support. Had to sign out and sign back into the App. Solved the problem.

Do you need a subscription to use door sensors and motions sensors? And also how far do the sensors work from the base ?

[@OneHourSmartHome]

No, you don't need a subscription to use the Ring Alarm Motion Sensors or Door Sensors: amzn.to/3Nf4v9p . Typically they seem to have at least a 100ft range from the base station but you can buy Ring Alarm Range Extenders: amzn.to/43IJg5nthat you just plug in and increase the range.

My contact sensor isn't showing up in the security section. Only the routers

[@smiley1958]

Does it make a sound when opening the door?

[@slug9712]

Yes even if it’s disarmed but you can probably change it in settings

[@AndrewRobbins3344]

We had the ring for a long time now, and none of the sensors are making a sound, how do I fix this?

[@OliverosMagic]

Why he amount the biggest piece the main sensor part on the door, and not the small magnet doesn't make any sense for me. I deffently gonna mount the small magnet on the door so does move all the time.

But both pieces do not align or flush parallel to each other
