Capability of the Ring Alarm Retrofit Kit
I need help to decide if the ring retrofit alarm kit is capable with my current alarm system. My current system has **15 window sensors on wireless** and **5 doors that are hard wired**. I'm sure that the two keypads I have should be replaced. Is the retrofit capatible with hardwired sensors or will I have to switch out the doors to wireless? And, is the ring retrofit alarm capable with my wireless sensors or do I need to replace those? What exactly are the limitations of the "retrofit system?" Where can I find tech support for this question?

J@PalmSpringsBill I am in similar situation and having same thoughts as you. My question is this: what did you do with your old wired system? The wires that might be in the door sensors for that system, etc? And did you power down the old system? Did you do this yourself? What about the wires in the
