Anyone know if those glass break sensors would work with Ring?

I prefer to use Z-Wave when I can. Helps reduce clutter on the 2.4Ghz.

I looked at the eco link garage door sensor. reduced by $5 only but still. however shipping is proving to be expensive if your just gonna buy a few items. Free ship is from $75

Horrible reviews on the go break sensors.

I have the glass break sensor, admittedly from a different vendor. I had no trouble pairing it to my Homeseer system and it reacted to dropping a glass bottle on tile as well as keys on tile (that was an accident)

I ordered 2 more of the sensors from this sale so hopefully these won't be gray market clones like on amazon.

Is the general consensus is that the bad reviews were due to bootleg sensors?

There is a new skill for Amazons Alexa, it can now listen to over 2000 different sorts of glass breaking and shattering. It is just sound and she listens anyway allday😂

Yeah...
So for those who DON'T like an always listening mic in their house that sends recording to some corporate home base, they can use a dedicated sensor that only sends a detection notice and is incapable of transmitting the sounds it hears.

So this is a feature, not a flaw, to those people.

The recessed 5-6" zwave lights at $10 are very interesting: https://www.zwaveproducts.com/sho...-lb65r6z-1

Cheap as heck, you can barely get a regular LED retrofit for this price.

However, I can't find a good use case for this. It's rare that you would have a single recessed light, and it's always better to control all of them via a single z-wave switch. Hmmmm

Depending on your zwave controller you could make a group and just controll the group.
