Come on Ring - when will the retrofit kit be available in the UK. I don't want to replace all my PIRs and door contacts - but want to add ring alarm to my existing Ring camera set-up. Replacing PIR's means converting to battery operated devices and changing contacts that are hidden in door frames isn't practical. I'm seriously considering Konnected.io which will let me re-use the PIRs and contacts - and integrate to Smartthings - so I can trigger home lighting and other automations. I thought you'd be leading the way given you're now owned by Amazon and they have a huge stake in home automation (GreenGrass).

I’m interested too. As others have said have doors sensors already which are neatly hidden and a couple of wired motion sensors. Was wondering whether to decommission the old system but seems a shame. Can’t get a confirmed yes will bring to market from Ring

Any news on retro fit alarm yet. Keen to upgrade my system but don’t want to if the ring hard wired system is released.

I'm waiting for the UK retrofit kit before replacing my existing alarm with Ring. I intend to build a small 12v battery backup power supply to run my existing PIR sensors so they can be connected along with all the door switches throughout the house. Many are invisibly built into the door frames so are considerably more discreet than the ring ones. One thing that would be incredibly useful is a ring controlled no/nc switch. With some simple wiring I could then connect my external bell box along with a 12v psu. Unfortunately I haven't found any other solution for this which would still work when mains power fails or my internet cable is cut. Wondering if anyone has hacked the dome siren to turn it into a remote switch for a louder bell?
