Don't you want them to be noticeable? That is one thing I like about the white sensor on my brown aluminum windows. Anyone who walks up to a window or sliding door can see it from the outside. IMHO the main purpose of a security system is to deter someone from wanting to bother my house, go somewhere else that is easier. Obvious sensors and cameras - a good thing. Much better than a not noticable system that alerts you only AFTER they are penetrated. Deterrant, they key word.Just a different point of view.

If I had contact sensors, I would put them on the inside where they couldn't be tampered with. I wouldn't really want them to stand out so much on the inside of the house; that's why some different color options would be nice to inculde.

I was thinking more for doors actually. I have casement windows (the crank out style), so contact sensors wouldn't serve much of a purpose on them.

I would purchase this if they had other color options. White sensors on black, brown or bronze windows and doors look terrible. If you want people to know you have a Ring security system you can put the signs in your windows and front yard.

Total agree with this idea.If contact sensors were available in black I would buy 3 more of them for black steel Crittall windows and door.

Would love another colour option for contact sensors, such as brown or black. It's a missing option on the alarm market which I'm sure would be well recieved.

Depressing to read that this request is out there for 3y + now. Grey and black windows are very common in the UK for some years now, and this is not a big "ask" of Ring. Instead it is kicked into the long grass. What is Ring's objection to providing this option?
