2nd Generation Keypad

I just replaced my two Ring Alarm Keypads with your 2nd Generation keypads. They are working fine but I have a question regarding constant USB Power: There are no lights on the keypads when plugged into USB Power like the 1st Generation keypads where the battery light stayed on solid – so, how do I know if the USB connection is working? I just want to confirm the new design. If that’s the way it is I would like to make a recommendation: WHEN THE 2ND GENERATION KEYPAD IS PLUGGED INTO USB POWER EITHER THERE SHOULD BE AN INDICATOR POWER LIGHT ON THE KEYPAD AND/OR THE ALARM APP SHOULD INDICATED A “WIRED CONNECTION” LIKE YOU RING DOORBELL 2.

    Hey neighbors, you can now choose between the following 3 modes for the Ring Alarm Keypad (2nd Generation): * **Keep Mode Button Lit.** LED lights will stay on at all times (when plugged into a working power source). * **Motion Turns on Lights.** LEDs light up when sensing motion. * **Button Press Turns on Lights.** LEDs light up only when you press a button on your Keypad (preserves battery power). To choose Keypad modes, open your Ring app, navigate to your Keypad device on the main menu, then go to the **LED Settings** tile. You can learn more in [this](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042894911-Ring-Alarm-Keypad-2nd-Gen-Lights-and-Buttons-Explained) Help Center article. :slight_smile:

      I have the same problem with my Gen 2 Key pads. There is no indication that they are plugged into a constant power source, and the lights do NOT stay on at all! Ring doesn't seem to have any explanation or suggestion. Please help. Thanks.

      Hi @harrisinva. Try reviewing the Help Center article shared earlier in the thread to help explain how the Keypad operates.

      The First Generation had a flaw that caused it to fail when inatalled with a constant power source. (Mine just failed recently). Does the Second generation have this same very annoying design flaw? I dont want to have to plug and unplug my device. I want to install it on the wall and never have to move it again.
