Detached Garage Ideas
New member here. I'm thrilled that 99% of what my old security company covered is covered by ring at about 20% of my previous cost.However, I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a solution for a detatched garage. I currently have a range extender and contact sensors installed, but now I see that these do not work in cold temps.I want to know if there is a break-in in my garage. How have others solved this problem? I have the Nexx Garage app so at least I can see if the door is open, but I'd also like to add some kind of security alert.Thanks for any suggestions!tt

Well..... You could use the retro kit and use 3rd party wired sensors in the garage?[https://shop.ring.com/products/retrofit-alarm-kit](https://shop.ring.com/products/retrofit-alarm-kit)Not sure if this a new kit or not. Last time I looked it was $200 I think.Well maybe not. looks like it is "Tempermental" alsoWould have to run a pair of wires to the house.I tried :)

I am in exactly the same predicament living in the Chicago area and just bought this alarm. I have several windows in my garage that can best be suited with a motion detector and the cold here will make it useless.Even if they had one to fix this issue, I would still have to disable the alarm via the phone app before I even hit the button for the garage to open the overhead door when I get home - not happy about that either. Geofencing would likely fix that.
