Ring Alarm
Keypad Chirp
Ok, this is driving me mildly insane. I have enabled chirps - At the moment, as a test on one of the door sensors. In the "Chirp Tones" menu it says: "Your Ring Alarm Base Station and Keypad(s) will sound this tone when the sensor is triggered" - So I have set that to a tone and when the sensor is triggered, the base station chirps, and the keypad stays completely silent. So I asked the FAQ! It won't let me post the link but it's on the ring support site under articles - 360026671732-Ring-Alarm-FAQs \> How do I change the volume on the keypad? Does this also change the volume for the Siren? Can the keypad play chirps? \> Like the Base Station, the Siren will always play from the keypad at max volume. It's a little vague, but implies that the Keypad plays chirps - So the app tells me the Keypad plays chirps, the FAQ indicates that the keypad plays chirps - But the keypad doesn't play chirps. So - Does anyone else's keypad play chirps, or are they lying to me in order to send me completely nuts and waste hours of my time resetting and re-registering keypads?

At this time, only the Base Station will play a chirp each time a sensor or motion detector is tampered. The Keypad will play entry/ exit delay tones as well as sound a Siren in unison with the Base Station if triggered. Our team is definitely working on adding this feature and more to the Keypad - we will certainly keep you informed of any updates :)

LCould you maybe put that into the documentation? Apparently I am not the only one who read it and believed it - I checked before I paid up, and it's one of the major reasons I bought the system because I wanted to know when people walked into the workshop.

CI installed my alarm system a few weeks ago and on entry the base station chirped a couple of times immediately followed by a couple of chimes on the keypad. I haven't changed any settings but the last couple of days the keypad no longer chirps. I don't understand why Ring cannot produce a comprehensive manual rather than customers having to search through a numbe of links that normally end up with frustration and no soluton.

MHey neighbors! I'm happy to announce the Keypad chirps are now available to toggle in the app. If you visit the Alarm devices page in the Ring app and select the Keypad, there will be a toggle for Keypad Chirps that you can enable. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app if you do not see this feature. I hope this helps! :)

KI Hear the chirps from contact sensors but nothing from doorbell press. My keypad is in a central location downstairs where it would be awesome to hear doorbell press. The base station is upstairs in a guest bedroom near the router. It's got the hardware capability. I'd hate to have to buy a chime when I know the keypad can do it. Is this in the works as an update? Or am I missing a setting?

RWhat about the base station? None of my contact sensors are triggering the base station to chirp even though everything is set up properly. Everything has been working fine for the past year until today. Thanks in advance.

Why can't **Ring** get this right after all this time? If you only want to hear chirps from a keypad, you also have to listen to **all other audio** including the annoying countdown arming timer, because you must turn the volume up on the keypad to hear chirps.

I've only set my Ring alarm up yesterday so I'm definitely still learning it but my keypad does not play chirps either. it does speak the "armed" and "disarmed" prompts. I also read the documentaiton as you do - that the keypad is supposed to chirp.
