Ring Alarm

So I recently bought the ring alarm and set it up in Homebridge and this works awesome. I mainly did this so I could automate my alarm as which my Smartthings hub allowed me to do. Then I found out you can pair certain zwave locks, outlets, and light switches. Once paired to ring they show up in my Home app. This is probably common knowledge but I'm jacked. The smartthings app is horrific and although the Home app needs some work its miles better.

I use ring alarm. I have contact sensors on every single window and access door. I have the arm/disarm/stay switch in HomeKit. I also have all the sensors exposed and I use them daily on my automations. I also have the Aqara hub and sensors and it also shows in HomeKit as alarm. If you try to integrate different brand of sensors into ring with HomeKit I don’t think you would be able to. I do get notifications based on what I have set ie open office window or open back door etc

U can use HomeKit notifications or ring notifications or both. Ring through homebridge is absolutely awsome. I use location to arm/ disarm my alarm and lock/unlock my doors. Love it
