CES 2019: Ring Alarm Expands Functionality With New Sensors, Smart Locks and Voice Control
The smart locks and sensors connect to the Ring Alarm Base Station and integrate with Ring Alarm and other Ring security devices via the Ring app.
Ring,
whose mission is to reduce crime in neighborhoods, today announced at
CES 2019 several new accessories that enable Ring Alarm to not only
protect against home break-ins, but also property damage and
life-threatening situations - giving neighbors even more ways to protect
their homes. Ring Alarm sensors
that make it even easier for homeowners to monitor for smoke, carbon
monoxide, flooding, freezing temperatures, intruders, and more are now
available for purchase at Ring.com.
Also available at Ring.com
are several smart locks from leading providers Kwikset, Schlage, and
Yale. The smart locks and sensors connect to the Ring Alarm Base Station
and integrate with Ring Alarm and other Ring security devices via the
Ring app. Ring Alarm also integrates with Alexa-enabled devices so users
can arm and disarm their Alarm as well as lock and unlock their doors by
speaking to Alexa.

Jamie Siminoff, Ring founder and Chief Inventor, said: “While we
continue on our mission of reducing crime in neighborhoods, it’s also
important that we alert our customers of common and often devastating
events like smoke, carbon monoxide, leaks and burst pipes. In fact,
water damage alone accounts for 30 percent of home insurance claims in
the U.S. And by adding smart lock integrations, we’re giving customers
greater control over who has access to their most important asset -
their homes. At Ring, our aim is to continually expand our product
offerings with features neighbors tell us they want, so they can
affordably create a custom home security system that meets their
specific needs and gives them peace of mind 24/7.”
Ring Alarm Sensors
Several smart sensors are now available for Ring Alarm to enhance the
system’s ability to notify users of harmful and disruptive events like
floods, freezing and carbon monoxide. Simply connect the sensors to your
Ring Alarm Base station to control them via the free Ring app for
greater peace of mind whether home or away.
Ring Alarm sensors now available at Ring.com:
-
Smoke
& CO Listener ($35): This sensor connects to your Ring Alarm
Base Station and sends alerts to your mobile device whenever your
existing smoke or CO detectors are triggered. -
Flood
& Freeze Sensor ($35): This sensor, placed near any water
source in the home, connects to your Ring Alarm Base Station and sends
an alert to your mobile device when water or freezing temperatures are
detected. -
Dome
Siren ($30): This siren connects to your Ring Alarm Base Station
and sounds off and flashes a light whenever a security event occurs,
so you are alerted of an alarm event no matter where you are in the
home. -
First
Alert Z-Wave Smoke/CO Alarm ($40): This alarm connects to your
Ring Alarm Base Station and notifies you on your mobile device if
smoke or carbon monoxide is detected.
Access Control
Smart locks can now be controlled using the free Ring app available on iOS
and Android.
Simply connect the lock to your Ring Alarm Base Station and use the Ring
app to conveniently lock and unlock your door remotely, view the smart
lock’s status and battery level, and review event history. Connect your
Ring Alarm to Alexa-enabled devices for even more control with commands
like: “Alexa, lock the front door.” Coming next month, smart locks will
further integrate with Ring Alarm so that, for example, when the lock is
put into the unlocked position, Alarm will automatically disarm.
Smart locks now available in a variety of finishes at Ring.com:
-
Kwikset
SmartCode 888 Touchpad Electronic Deadbolt ($139.99) -
Schlage
Connect Smart Z-Wave Deadbolt ($199.99) -
Yale
Real Living Assure Lock SL With Z-Wave Plus ($219.99)
Later this year, Ring will also integrate with August so customers can
lock and unlock their August Smart Lock Pro via their Ring app.
Additionally, Ring Alarm and Ring Doorbells and Cams can now communicate
with one another so that, for example, when the Alarm sounds, it will
automatically trigger all Ring cameras to begin recording, even if they
do not detect motion.
