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

I’m in exactly the same situation. My daughter does have an Echo dot in her room that would detect glass breakage, but we can’t use it in Home mode. Why? Why is glass breakage only something that could happen in Away mode? This is a simple software change. Please Ring team, this makes zero sense.

It seems that the desire to bring people forcibly into the Amazon ecosphere is more important than meeting a clear customer need. Why else wouldn't they develop such a device? With current antitrust concerns being floated regarding some of the key tech companies, ignoring customer needs to prop up a related business is anticompetitive behavior that works as evidence in those cases.

Hi neighbors! We appreciate your continued feedback regarding a glass break sensor so that we can pass this onto the appropriate teams. While it may not be exact to your request and we do not have a Glass Break sensor at this time; Alexa Guard through your Echo device is able to detect sounds of glass breaking and alert you accordingly. To learn more about how Alexa Guard can work with your Ring Alarm for glass breaking, check out this [Community post here](https://community.ring.com/t/detect-breaking-glass-through-alexa-guard-and-connect-it-to-your-ring-alarm/43875). For more information about Alexa Guard vs. Alexa Guard Plus, please also check out our [Help Center article here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054626431). We thank you all for your continued feedback in this thread, and if we are able to bring a standalone Glass Break sensor to our Ring neighbors, we will make sure we update this thread accordingly.

RThis IS NOT a solution! It does nothing but notify you. Stop telling people this is a solution. The mic in the echo is not tuned for glass breaking frequencies and does not have a shock sensor to detect a hit. Disgusting that you and your company feel this is a glass break sensor and a terrible way to push your stupid devices on everyone

RNot a solution at all! I wouldn’t even call this a band-aid. Pathetic response. Get true glass break sensors like EVERY OTHER ALARM MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD!

Need a ring glass break sensor. Have Alexa and guard, but only works in away mode. I need something to monitor the basement and unoccupied areas when home as well.
