Contact sensor saying door open
Just installed my Ring alarm, all components work great minus the contact sensor on my front door. It’s about 5 ft from the base and 15 feet from range extender. As soon as a tried configuring this sensor out of the box it says the door is open when it’s closed. All other contact sensors worked great right out of the box.

I’m having the same issue with the front door sensor, and have tried resetting it twice but it still says front door is open.

I had to reset my base station. Nothing else really worked. Finally base station did the trick, the least expected.

Hi @patrick\_durkin. Try pressing and holding the communication button for 3 seconds, then releasing. This should prompt the Contact Sensor to register correctly. If not, you may need to [reset](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000071906-How-to-Factory-Reset-Your-Ring-Alarm-Devices) the Contact Sensor. I hope this information helps!
