  While only slightly related to your request, I beleive the Amazon Echos work as a glass break sensor. This functionality gets linked to Ring via the Alexa app Ring skill. This Echo functionallity gets automatically enabled with the Ring Alarm is set to Away mode. Having never broken glass, I am not sure how the detection of a broken glass event manifests itself (does it trigger a Ring alarm to Central Monitoring or merely generate an alert through the Ring or Alexa app).

  The lack of glass break sensors is the only thing holding me up from purchasing the alarm system. If they added the glass break sensor I'd buy the alarm system and 8-10 of the glass break sensors. I don't want an Amazon Alexas or Echos as a subsitute to provide the basic function that an alarm system should provide. I have an 80lb dog that has free roam of the house when I'm not home, so motion sensors are out of the question. I also have crank-out style windows instead of slidding windows, so window sensors are are useless for me as well. Glass break sensors are the only real option I have, and no thanks on the Alexa or the Echo. I hope they are actually going to come out with a glass break sensor, but it seems like more effort is being put into pushing Alexas & Echos rather than just making the sensor.

  I too am waiting..... I already have Ring in my house, my daughter has Ring in her house and I would like to change to Ring at my business. I'll need 15 contacts, 5 or 6 motion, and about 20 glass sensors (yes, lots of windows!) and that's just for one of the buildings!! Sad, but until glass sensors are available from Ring I must continue truly professional monitoring from a company that has that simple feature. Let's go Ring, get with it!!

  If you want to encourage Ring to release glass break sensors, please give "kudos" to the person that made the original post along with anyone else in the comment thread that also agrees and makes the same request. Ring has stated that the more likes/kudos a post/comment/request gets, the more it is considered by Ring. Here are other links where people have requested glass break sensors. Please give likes/kudos to the people that made the original posts along with similar comments in these links too to make Ring more aware that we all want this sensor. https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Glass-Break-Sensors-Coming/td-p/4387 https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/How-is-it-Secure-Ring-is-not-Secure-the-dont-have-a-simple-Glass/m-p/2232#M448 Also be sure to look through the Alarm Feature Request page and give likes/kudos to anyone that makes the request for glass break sensors, and be sure to mention it yourself too, if you haven't already. Give likes/kudos to everyone that has mentioned it. https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Alarm-Feature-Request/td-p/792

  +1 for a glass break sensor! I currently use Echo’s.... but they don’t set off the alarm if it hears something. I’m only using them as a stop-gap measure until I can get real glass break sensors.

  The lack of a glass break sensor is the only thing preventing me from switching to the Ring alarm.

  I agree! I have cats and dogs so I don't want the motion detectors. I love my Ring cameras so the only thing keeping me from getting the alarm system is the lack of glass break sensors.

  @Ring at a minimum, can we at least get an estimate of when the glass break sensors will be released, or let us know if Ring has decided against releaseing glass break sensors? I've been holding off on purchasing the alarm system until it has glass break sensors. There are competing DIY alarm companies that do offer glass break sensors. I'd like to stick with Ring because I like Ring's outdoor cameras, but if you never come out with a glass break sensor than I'll have to go with someone that does offer them. I've been willing to wait a reasonable amount of time, but that amount of time is running short; it's been over a year.
