Ring Alarm to cover multiple buildings at a single address
Ring - We need an actual technical solution to _monitored_ alarm systems that cover multiple buildings at a single address. Your existing ring extenders do NOT suffice.Two potential product options or feature requests:1 - Two z-wave extenders that are wired in between (rather than using the z-wave protocol directly) to allow reliable transmission.2 - Allow base stations to be "paired" into a single system over TCP/IP.I was just on the phone with your support and you said that you cannot have two monitored alarm systems at the same address for legal/compliance reasons. Heard/acknowledged, but that is NOT what we asking for. We are NOT asking you to violate the law and have multiple alarm systems at a single address. We are asking for ONE alarm system at ONE address that covers MULTIPLE building reliably. You can do that either by providing an actual reliable wired extender (#1) or allowing multiple base stations to be paired into a SINGLE alarm system (#2) that covers multiple buildings at a single location.My preference would be #2 as it should be able to be implemented trivially via software changes only (no software changes required) since your base stations already have internet/TCP/IP connectivity.Can you please acknowledge this feature request?

The replies implies that professional monitoring will be used. What if I want to manually monitor two buildings? Can I put a Security Hub in each building? Wi-Fi covers both buildings. We are trying to monitor for water leaks with a flood sensor in utility room in each building. A single Security Hu

CHi @user5028. No, the Ring app only allows one Ring Alarm system to be set up per Location. If each building has a separate address, they can be added as two different Locations, with one Ring Alarm system at each. You can learn more about Locations [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/

To accomplish this task, you’ll need to purchase a real alarm system such as a DMP or Honeywell. Ring is great for single home or small apartments etc. I use one on my outbuilding. However, since they don’t even have a human answer the phone these days, I opted for a real security system in my home that has real sirens, strobes, integrated smoke/CO, glass break detecting, etc.
