Ring Alarm Contact Sensor is a wireless sensor for the Ring Alarm system which provides users the ability to know when a door or window is open or closed. After installing the sensor on a door or window and setting up the sensor in the Ring app, monitor and receive notifications when the door or window opens or closes. The Ring Alarm Base Station is required to enable Contact Sensor features and functions within the Ring app.
Will it keep working?
It works locally over Z-Wave, so it keeps running even if Ring shuts down the app or the servers. One thing to note: some features need a cloud subscription — the basics still work locally.
