1st & 2nd Generation Alarm Compatibility

Question

Are the second generation Ring Alarm devices, including the second generation keypad, compatible with the first generation Ring Alarm base station?

Hi @BranDensOsborne. Yes, the 2nd generation Ring Alarm devices are backwards compatible with the 1st generation Ring Alarm Base Station. All Ring Alarm security devices are compatible with every Base Station. You can mix and match 1st and 2nd generation Ring Alarm Contact Sensors, Motion Detectors, Range Extenders, Keypads and third-party devices with any Ring Alarm Base Station. If you have any other questions, we have a FAQ for the Ring Alarm 2nd generation [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040149572-FAQs-about-Ring-Alarm-2nd-generation-), which may be helpful. :)
