Yes, With External Integration:Keeping the original alarm system in place to power the motions was not an option for me so I did it a little differently.I ordered a terminal block to supply terminate my RING Keypad and Motions (qty=4) for power being supplied by an external 12V power supply. I turned off the chirps by configuring for NO for Chirp Tones in the actual motion sensor config. Pay attention to your + and - for supplying power, it was pretty simple. I’m not sure what the impact will be on the batteries for the retro-fit, but I saved 4 motions that were wired.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D9BXTM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I used this converter to power the RING Keypad with the original wiring…https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RDGR9GF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1In the image the power (12vDC) is supplied by the pigtail on the terminal block, then you cut down what you are feeding power to on the +/- terminal strip.Still testing for reliablity / false alarms with no issues, and the dog does not set them off either since the motions are designed for an 80# canine… This is simple integration that RING should provide, but this would drop sales of their motions so why bother…Follow up will happen if reliability becomes a problem… : )

@gobblke I was able to wire my existing motion sensors to the ring retrofit and had no issues with power, but I'm concerned about the battery draining after seeing this. I understand how to wire the 12V to 5V you referenced, but I'm not sure how to use the terminal block. How do I transfer power from my existing panel to the retrofit for wired motion sensors?
