Ring Contact Sensor Garage Door

It s not intended for outdoor use.

Ring contact sensor garage door.

Contact sensors are two part devices connected by a strong magnetic field. Mount the hinge so when the door is closed the hinge sits flat by the sensor door closed. I ll start off by saying the size of these door sensors contact sensors appears thicker than other non ring versions but i feel that it may be to accommodate the larger long lasting battery inside the sensor. You can just omit it from any of the modes if you want to avoid the alarm getting triggered when you open the garage.

This is a good time to mention that you will need one sensor and contact sensor for each pane of glass you wish to protect. You ll always be the first to know when something s ajar. If you want a functioning garage door sensor for ring alarm easy and cheap just buy a standard contact sensor and a standard door hinge. I have to think ring at some point will have a sensor for the garage door.

The other workaround i thought of was placing a motion detector in the garage. Connect them to your ring alarm base station and receive mobile alerts from the ring app whenever your doors or windows open. They are placed on doors or windows. Ring alarm contact sensors easily mount to any door or window frame in your home for easy diy installation.

When the alarm system is armed they will trigger an alarm as soon as their magnetic contact is broken by the door or window opening. That will cover any movement as far as a person or the garage door itself. Mount the magnet on a hinge. When mounting the ring alarm contact sensor 1st generation make sure the notches are lined up.

1st gen ring contact sensor 2nd gen will theoretically work but you need to access the magnetic switch and it s harder on the 2nd gen interlogix vibration glass break sensor. Used a few small washers because hinge screws were slightly longer than door width. Placed a metal hinge in top center of garage door drilled two pilot holes then attached with two screws. Cleaned the garage door and attached the main sensor using the existing adhesive.

Requires the ring alarm security kit. Mount the sensor to the inside of the garage door. Make sure to use contact sensors indoors. Don t use the contact sensor on the side of the door with the hinge.

The small portion of sensor attaches to the hinge with just the magnet.
