How is it Secure? Ring is not Secure. the dont have a simple Glass break sensor
If I live in a two story house and someone break in through the window, they can just come in and do way much more damage if I am home! because the motion sensors will be off "home mode"

Good Morning. I had this same concern as my downstairs living room is covered in windows, basically a sun room. I do have sensors on the doors and every window but as you mentioned, there is no glass break sensor. What I opted for was adding a motion sensor that covers the whole area of the room, and when I’m home mode, that motion sensor is armed. This allows me to know if anyone came through a window by breaking it the alarm will trip and alert us. This was prior to me knowing about the Alexa glass break feature.

ZMy mother is 83 years young and may not remember the motion sensor is activated in a given room. She will want to get a blanket or extra clothes in a closet and trip the alarm. Rather than "alarm by avoidance" (patent pending, lol) wouldn't it make more sense to simply have glass break detectors th

MI wouldn’t remember the motion sensor is on! Every other security company in the world uses glass break sensors! Motion sensors are pointless and only usable if you do not have large pets and you are not home. When you are home, you can’t really use motion sensors. Glass breaks are the only sensor t

These posts about glass break sensors always seem to get buried to the 2nd or 3rd page rather quick.Just trying to help keep them on the front page because it seems like an extremely popular request. Can't believe its been over a year and they still haven't come out with these yet. Not sure if the goal is to sell a security system or Amazon Alexia's.

Yep, Ring is deliberatley choosing to not have a glass breakage detector - unlike every other alarm system in existence. I'd guess since Amazon owns Ring, Amazon has made the decision that the Echo (dot) will be the listening device. Amazon wants an Echo in every room so if you ask Ring about it, they'll push the Echo Dot on you, and will even offer it for free (at least they did for me). I refused it because I don't want always-on listening/recording devices in private spaces. Financially, Ring would obviously want a glass breakage device since people would buy 1 per room at a minimum, but Ring is beholden to their overlord Bezos.

Curious if the Alarm smoke and CO2 listener would also hear a window break? Would be a great idea since that is actually a loud noise sensor.

BLet your “Thumbs Up” be seen as your vote for Glass Break Sensors. Ring Teams notice Feature Requests with higher Thumbs Up numbers, and then are more likely to concern the request. There are other Glass Break Sensor Requests on the Feature Board. Across other topic areas (just not here in the Fe
