Ring alarm for home and out building?

troubleshooting
Hi I'm fairly new to Ring so please bear with me. I do have a Ring doorbell though.. I'm looking to add an alarm system to my house and would also like to be able to protect my 2 sheds at the bottom of the garden. Wi-fi does reach the garden so coverage shouldn't be a problem. My question is: Can I have the sheds alarmed whilst the house is not? Obviously I'd like to have protection for the sheds even when we are in the house. I was thinking I could use the motion detector or door contacts on the sheds. Thanks Steve

Hi @DStar. The Ring Alarm system components utilize Z-Wave to communicate with the Base Station, and the Base Station uses wifi to connect to the Ring app. Typically, Contact Sensors or Motion Detectors mounted on a shed or building outside the home are unable to maintain a stable connection due to interference and distance. Additionally, you cannot set separate groups of Sensors to be monitored separately from the rest of the system. When editing your [Mode settings](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005312623-Arming-Disarming-and-Setting-Modes-on-your-Ring-Alarm), you're able to select which Sensors are monitored in Home and which Sensors are monitored in Away, but you can't group these out or create a custom Mode at this time.
