Ring 2 Standard Electrical Box Install
I have a Ring 2 to replace my current wired doorbell. I have concrete walls with a stucco finish. The current opening in the wall is a standard single electrical gang box with the single screw at the top and bottom. There's currently a standard cover plate screwed to the box and the doorbell is screwed to the cover plate itself. How do I go about mounting the Ring 2 to a standard electrical gang box opening? Thanks.

I have a similar set up at my new house where the old doorbell switch was attached to a standard switch electrical single gang box mounted in stucco. So, my solution was to attach the Ring mounting bracket to a standard cable outlet plate which allows the old wiring to go thru, and has the two screws that will pass thru to mount the plate to the box. I did have to chop the 4 mounting screws down to allow the cable plate to sit flush against the stucco wall. Seems to be secure and works fine.

I have exactly the same problem. I called support and got no help, whatsoever. There is a guy who has posted the instructions on Reddit to make an adapter if you have a 3D printer (I don't). Other than that - nothing. So I came up with a solution that works and looks decent. I purchased (at my local hardware store) a wooden coaxial cable cover plate. They're with the cover plates for light swtiches and electrical outlets. I spray painted it black. This plate has the holes to connect to the electric box and the hold in the middle let's you run the doorbell wires through it easily.After I installed the cover plate, I then installed the ring doorbell on the wooden plate. I should have done better centering it on the plate, but it looks OK.
