  I’m interested in this as well. Any Alexa or Ring notification for a door sensor left open?

  This needs to be addressed. How do we submit an enhancement request? I changed from xfinity home to Ring assuming this functionality exists. I put sensors on my freezers for when the kids leave a door open for 5 minutes and I can't do it with Ring!

  Still can’t do this natively on Ring or Alexa. WTF. Did they fire all their developers?

  I have a possible answer using the Alexa app. If you have Alexa integrated in a way you can see the Ring devices (contact and motion sensors) in Alexa, you can set a Routine to have Alexa monitor and report on an open contact like in a contact sensor attached to a door. 1. Find the section in the Alexa app to create a new Routine. 2. Name the Routine as appropriate 3. Find the sensor you want to alert on in Alexa. Contact sensors will show open and closed for alerting options. 4. Choose the state you want to alert on like contact open 5. Add the action you’d like Alexa to take. This is where it gets tricky. If you choose a simple sound like a chime, it will only chime once and you may miss the notification. I went to the Alexa skills menu and added an alarm skill (Car Alarm) that continues until interrupted by a voice command on the Alexa device to “stop”. I then chose this under the Skills section in Actions and directed the skill to run on an Echo speaker device, like an Echo Dot. I believe you can also set it to go to your phone with the Alexa app on it but haven’t tested yet. 6. There is a way to set a delay on the alarm to have it alert after a period of time has passed. Some caveats * While it may work on multiple Alexa (Echo) speaker devices, I’ve only been able to set it up on on one Alexa device at a time so far. * You can only control the activity on this alarm from that Alexa device. It may be controllable from my phone but haven’t tested. Hope this helps
