Please come out with a glass break sensor. I’ve been requesting this for years and will continue to request it until Ring comes out with one.

Let your “Thumbs Up” be seen as your vote for Glass Break Sensors. Ring Teams notice Feature Requests with higher Thumbs Up numbers, and then are more likely to concern the request. There are other Glass Break Sensor Requests on the Feature Board. Across other topic areas (just not here in the Feature Board topic area) there are also many that I’ve probably missed a few links. But if you think this “Glass Break Sensor” device would be nice to have, click on the links below and then click the Thumbs Up Icon.

At this point, the lack of glass break sensors is the only reason I am not buying this system. I hope they add them soon because I am on a timer for my purchase decision.

Fantastic Idea, I literally just came to the forums to submit a request for this but thankfully I did a search first. Please add glass break/tamper sensors

@Nikkione , don’t forget to go the other 4 “Feature-Request-Board” links above, to click on the “Thumbs Up” on these other requests for Glass Break sensors, and add your Kudo vote with us! More votes for this request will get the attention of the Ring Team. :slight_smile:

Most of your competition has a glass break sensor available. One simple question. Why doesn’t Ring?

I would have gone with a different company had I known Ring does not have a glass break sensor. But also, so many people are requesting it, why would they not want to profit off it while at the same time making customers happy ? Doesn’t make any sense.

This seems like such a simple thing to do. I cannot understand why Ring has not done this yet.

Hi guys, i was a bit concerned about this as well. However, the echo show that i own now provides a solution with a feature called “Alexa guard” when you place your home into away mode, the microphone on your echo device is used to catch high frequency sounds and fire alarms. This allows you to receive a notification and trigger your alarm. I hope this helps!

Here is a link to the Alexa guard ring setup: https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028205592-Using-Alexa-Guard-with-Alarm-to-Detect-Broken-Glass-Smoke-and-Carbon-Monoxide

Hi @Delgado89 ,

I would disagree. It is not a solution. Although when you place your home into away mode, the microphone on your echo device can be used to catch high frequency sounds and fire alarms . . . that part is true, but . . .

This allows you to receive a notification, but it DOES NOT trigger your alarm. It sends you an Alert Notification and then YOU have to request help or trigger your alarm manually.

When you carefully read the words (from the link that you attached) "

  • Forward the alert to Ring via the “Send to Ring” button in the Alexa app in order to request help if professionally monitored or sound the siren if self-monitored.

An easy misunderstanding @Delgado89 , but definitely not a solution. Ring needs to provide a Glass Break SENSOR that triggers the Alarm Base Station automatically :slight_smile:

I ditto this. A native glass break sensor without needing to use Alexa Guard is crucial to any home alarm system.

Need to get a glass break sensor. Other systems have it. It will make you money. Don’t understand the lack of development.

What is wrong with Ring. You can make a flying drone that no one asked for but you can’t make a glass break sensor or an external siren. I’m seriously thinking of ditching the all ring products and replacing them with alternatives.

The lack of glass break sensors is a huge gap in any security system.

Honestly, this has gotten ridiculous. An indoor drone before glass break sensors? And a car alarm that can sense “bumps, break-ins, tow-aways, and more”… seriously?

On the off chance that anyone at ring is actually listening, please, find a way to get this done or integrate a third party option. Your system is not complete without a glass break sensor.

Ring? Hello? Anyone there? Look what your competition sells! We NEED glass break sensors. Why don’t you listen to your customers? A flying drone and no glass breake sensors? Seriously?!? Your system is a complete joke without it

Ring, please get your act together and release a glass break sensor that is finely tuned and designed specifically for the purpose of detecting glass breakage noise. Your competitors offer these devices. It is crazy that Ring does not despite years of requests to do so.

We do not want to use Amazon echo devices that won’t even work in Home mode and won’t automatically notify the professional monitoring center when it detects a glass break noise. This is not a viable solution.

Homes are at risk because you are not offering this device, especially ones that advertise with signs that they are “Protected by Ring” giving potential burglars and home invaders all the information they need on how to circumvent the system when they know people are home.

I purchased a Ring system months ago not realizing that this was an unsupported feature. Now I’m beginning to regret it.
