Support for Z-Wave Recessed Door Sensors

app-request
While the face-mount sensors are functional, they are also incredibly obvious... particularly on doors. Many systems support the use of plunge-style hidden sensor that are mounted between the door jamb and the hinge-side of the door itself.
It is my understanding that Ring can support these (sortof) but not for the monitored alarm.
Given that all sensors do is detect an open/closed state, it seems to me that it should be incredibly simple to support these and other sensors such as Garage Door open/tilt.

@bradium. You're referring to bridging wired plunger style sensors. I agree with the OP that the Ring sensors are poorly designed for aesthetics and they should offer 2 types of sensors so that a user can choose. I have a competing system installed and my plunger style sensors are wireless (proprietary 900mhz). The Retro Kit won't work for me. So, they exist and Ring should directly supply/support them. I am an avid Ring cam user and would jump into Ring security if those sensor options were available for my 3 doors.

Support 3rd party Z-Wave Plus Recessed Door/Window Sensors. Allows for concealed and cleaner installation for doors (main entry doors, or service doors). Another option would be to support the GE Enbrighten Z-Wave Plus Smart Door Sensor that attaches to the door hinge. Both of these solve mounting issues with the normally supplied Ring contact sensor with door gaps, and molding issues.

Agreed,
Ring could rebrand and certify an existing z-wave sensor.
this is standard with most alarm systems.

Fully agree, I'd switch today from my existing system to Ring if they had recessed sensors or some way to support existing wireless recessed sensors.
