I too had a glass break sensor when I had Frontpoint (whom I left to go with Ring). It worked great and complimented the motions and contact sensors.
Having recently learned Alexa Guard does not even arm in Home mode (Away only) only further sells the need for a dedicated and ‘real’ glass break sensor. I think I speak for the many when I say we don’t want a microphone in our home to satisfy a component of our alarm system which should be intrinsic to the alarm in the first place. Alexa Guard, at best, is a joke.
We want a dedicated glass break sensor that can be armed in both Home and Away modes. We want it to offer the same functionality and options as a Ring contact or motion sensor.
**Ring, you stand to make a great profit if you release a glass break sensor. ** Between both purchases made by people like myself who already own the Ring alarm, and by potentially a whole new customer base that has yet to pull the trigger on your alarm system because you don’t currently offer one.
This is truly win-win for everyone if you release one.
