Glass break sensor
It would be great to have an actual glass break sensor for the alarm system. It’s a real short coming of the ring alarm system that otherwise is a very good system. I do not wish to use an echo to listen for glass break sounds. A dedicated glass break sensor that is fine tuned to the sounds of breaking glass and can pick up the shock waves from glass breakage would be a much better solution

Thanks @RingUser20 for that link. I hadn't heard of that company before but they have a better selection of sensors than Ring with most of them available in the UK. Would be annoying to have to swap my Ring equipment but the lack of updates on some heavily requested features is making me consider changing.

Wyze is launching their security system next year. If there is no glass break sensor by then I'll be moving off the Ring platform completely. The equipment will no doubt be cheaper and the monthly should be near the same. Everyone that wants a glass break sensor I recommend you watch out for Wyze's launch since Ring isn't interested in launching a pretty standard sensor even back in 2010. Alexa Guard isn't enough... It does nothing unless you disable your motion sensors and set your alarm to Away. If Ring could launch a home mode for Alexa Guard I think that could suffice, at least for my house. But alas, they'd rather launch overpriced products that no one's asked for.

I really do think that we need a glass break sensor. I am disappointed that ring has not added one in yet. It would be a great selling point because some people don't choose ring because they don't have a glass break sensor. Please add a glass break sensor!

I 100% that I will switch soon because there are no actual glass break sensors in your product line. What's the deal with no glass break sensors?

What's the thought of placing the magnet part of a window sensor on the glass rather than on the window frame. Since it can be up to 1 inch away from the sensor. If they break the glass the magnet will fall causing the alarm to sound, if they open the window it will also alarm.....just a thought.
