Hi there, neighbors! The Outdoor Contact Sensor ships within the U.S. (excluding territories) and Canada, at this time. We appreciate your feedback and interest in availability, and will surely share it with our teams here. Keep an eye here on the Community or at Ring.com for updates. :)

With the outdoor contact sensor, do you also need the chime pro? Unclear if this is stand alone on a gate or shed.

Have been using this new sensor on my garage overhead door for a couple of weeks now, to extend the capabilities of my Ring Alarm, and it's been great. One piece of the contact affixed to the door and one to the frame, so when the overhead door slides up it registers the contact as Open. Since it gets cold where I live, down to -35C at times in the winter, using this sensor instead of the typical white sensor is very important. The temperature rating is down to -20C but I'm hoping it will survive the winter since the inside of our garage door presumably doesn't reach the same low temperatures as outdoors! For anyone considering buying this, keep in mind it's quite a bit bigger than the white sensors. If it's going to fit in a tight space, you'll want to make some measurements first.
