So I’ll try this again. I have two different profiles as my regular ring username would not work on here for a couple weeks (my old screen name is CTMaineah). Now that this one is working i’ll post under this.

I migrated to ring after having an Iris system for the past 5 years. I had a very large system and was very disappointed by them shutting down. My ring system is somewhat basic right now as I didn’t have the money to expand out like Iris was.

With that being said, ring alarm seems extremely stable and I am excited to see where the system goes. I hope to see so me focus on the security end of things and have integration with smartthings for home automation etc.

I’m George. I am new to Ring. I had IRIS by Lowe’s since it was first introduced, and had just gotten to the point where IRIS worked consistently when they pulled the plug on it. I had a thermostat, smart plugs, and even an irrigation system along with sensors and motion detectors. At least IRIS bought those back so we could buy a 10-piece Ring security system from Costco. We’ve since added the Ring Doorbell and I’m looking to add some walkway lights. I would like to add some outdoor cameras and lights but those are out of my price range right now.

I would like to see Ring add smart plugs and thermostats.

Hey there! Sam from India. I purchased a ring video doorbell pro and a ring chime for my alexa enabled smart home. I love adding home automation bits to my home every now and then and with Ring it was a no brainer. The support from Ring team has been phenomenal!

Sunshine from the Windy City, I’m new too the System With The Video Bell, but not to the Neighborhood Watch Program. I got my foot in that weigh deep. I’ve had ADT all along, just added Ring For Extra Security, so far, so good, except it’s just so sensitive, my chimes r always ringing, but, I’m getting use to it!?

Hi Sunshine, please to meet you! Hope you’re doing great. Ring has some more versatility than ADT I’m sure. You can adjust the motion sensitivity to people only in the device settings. ?

Hello all, I am new to the neighborhood today. I thought signing up might make my area safer. I also am signing up for assistance finding my lost dog.

My dog is a terrier mix and is only around a year old, black with white paws, white chest and nose. Her name is Luna and she went missing 10-28-19 at 6am. She has a red collar but no tags, as we had just received her a few days earlier.

Sincerly,

Hi. I am a UK based Ring owner with a few years under my belt. My background it in Technology and Sevice management so I fortunately have a head start on most owners in understanding the complexities of the Ring offering and what it is and isn’t capable of.

I am more than happy to help out anyone who activity wants to solve an issue with a Ring Doorbell or Camera (I don’t have the Alarm or Lights yet). Most issues are common and easy to solve, but others will require you to connect support. Don’t be afraid to do so, as they are very helpful indeed. But even then you find you are still frustrated, and maybe you can get help from the community as we share a lot of knowledge and experience between us.

I like to solve problems, but realise that not all problems are solvable… deep eh?
