## Description

Review: Ring Contact Sensors Constantly Go Into "Tampered Mode - ISSUE RESOLVED - Bought a multi-pack of these contact sensors for our new (to us) house. I used Ring motion sensors on the first floor rooms and these contact sensors on four of the first floor doors. Precisely one contact sensor actually worked. I was swapping out sensors and worked my way through the six-pack. All but one of the sensors went into "Tampered" mode and even with Ring support trying to help me over the phone, we could not get the sensors workings. Have a metal door that you want to monitor? Don't use Ring. Have a door that you need to slam to get the latch to latch? Don't use Ring. I out four brand new sensors on my wooden French doors and all four sensors went to "Tampered" status. I asked Ring support if the Ring central base station has some kind of "memory" for when a location/sensor goes into "Tampered" mode. I never did get an answer. I have a lot of money wrapped up in this system, so I will be installing another motion sensor inside the house to make up for not having sensors on the first floor doors. I wish I had gone with a hardwired ADT system. UPDATE 02/06/2026: Lesson learned. After posting my review here, Ring technical support arranged a telephone support call and we worked through my issues with two contact sensors. Sensor #1 was mounted on a slightly curved moulding, which when I tightened the mounting screws for the sensor bracket caused the bracket to deform. The Tampered switch was not being depressed completely. This was my installation error. Once I mounted the sensor on a flat strip of wood on the hinge side of the door, it reset and works perfectly. Sensor #2 is on a metal garage door and I had glued too thin of a strip of wood to the door. Once I added an additional thickness of wood strip, the metal door no longer impacted the sensor. I remounted the sensor and the Tampered switch reset the sensor. it is working perfectly fine. Lessons learned: Ring contact sensors work best on an absolutely flat mounting surface. Mounting on a metal surface requires a wooden "spacer" to prevent the metal from messing with the sensors signal (I used one-gallon and five-gallon paint stirrer sticks cut to the length of the sensor. Free and easy to work with and already the correct width.) My thanks to Jose at Ring for being patient and working through these issues.
Review: Reliable Door/Window Protection - These Ring Alarm Contact Sensors (2nd Gen) in the 2-pack are a must-have add-on for any Ring Alarm system. Super easy to install and provide instant alerts when doors or windows open—perfect for securing entry points. Pros: • Ultra-simple DIY install — Peel-and-stick mounting (or screws if preferred), no tools needed; pairs quickly with the Ring app in minutes. • Slim, discreet design — Much smaller than 1st gen, fits nicely on any frame without looking bulky. • Long battery life — Up to 3 years on included CR2032 batteries; reliable performance with minimal maintenance. • Instant, accurate alerts — Works flawlessly with Ring base station for real-time notifications (subscription required for full features). • Great value — Affordable pack expands coverage easily; high ratings (4.7+ on desertcart from thousands) prove reliability. Cons: • Requires Ring Alarm base station — Not standalone; needs the system to function. • Gap tolerance improved but check alignment — Handles up to ~1 inch separation reliably, but occasional false alarms if not mounted perfectly (rare). • Subscription for advanced features — Basic alerts work, but recording/history needs Ring Protect plan. If you’re building out your Ring Alarm setup for home security, this 2-pack is spot-on—reliable, affordable, and integrates seamlessly. Highly recommended—solid 5 stars!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will these work with the 1st Gen Ring Alarm system?**
A: If you have a Ring Alarm (1st Gen), all Ring Alarm (2nd Gen) sensors are dually compatible with the first generation of Ring Alarm, meaning you can switch out or add new sensors to your Base Station to fit your preferences.

**Q: How are these different from the first gen?**
A: The new Ring Alarm (2nd Gen) Contact Sensors are smaller and more compact than Ring Alarm (1st Gen) Contact Sensors, and have been redesigned to fit even more spaces in the home. And, they now feature a wider max gap for use with even more windows and door frames. For even easier set up, we’ve added a new button on the front of the Contact Sensors that communicate directly with the Base Station. When pressed, your Base Station’s LED light right will illuminate so you know they are in range.

**Q: My garage has been known to get below 32 degrees.  Will this operate and survive in  cold ?**
A: I have 2 door/ window sensors in my garage and it drops to 32 at times as well, I have had no issues with them other than the battery drains faster than the ones I have indoors I have replaced them once in 2 years I’ve had the system and the rest of my sensors are still with the original battery

**Q: Is this gen 2 sensor backwards compatible with gen 1 base?**
A: Yes
