Ring Black Friday deal for ring secure 14 piece $199 is back till Nov 30. Was going to purchase the Costco deal but this has extra sensors and motion detector and keypad. All other items including cameras are also on sale including floodlight for $189.
Comes with free security yard sign for $14.99! Checkout with Paypal for additional 5% cb with freedom effectively dropping this to $190 for some folks.

Looks like Amazon has the 14 piece with free echo dot back at $199 as well. You won't be able to check out with PayPal for $10 cash back and won't get the security yard sign but it's a free echo dot. I can't decide which to pull the trigger on..

got this last time and so far so good.
something to watch out for during shipping is that they will send you the 10 piece kit and separate additional pieces. well, with those additional pieces you might get charged for faster shipping even if you have prime. I had to chat and put my foot down to get that additional shipping back.
i did have 2 different motion sensors trigger a tamper alarm in the middle of the night. a simple open and close of the sensor fixed that. so, at pairing when you pull the first time plastic battery tabs you might want to open and close the sensor.
ebay has good prices on additional pieces like 2 contacts for ~$25, motion for $20-25, and others.
you do not have to buy the gen2 first alert smoke alarm with the scanable QR code. you can use the gen1 without the QR code. ~$30 ebay
The Ecolink garage door tilt sensor can be had for $16-30 ebay.
when it comes to the dome sensor, it definitely is NOT worth $40. battery operated and not loud at all. they can sometimes be found on ebay for $20-30. i plan to hack a couple with a relay to trigger a siren horn.
if you get the ring cam, there is a known bricking issue where when you set them up and they immediately update the firmware they can brick. I did have to exchange one.
if you get the Lighting hub, there is a known issue where the hub will not communicate with older android cells during setup when it links to your cell to get your router ssid and password. if you have that happen just use a newer cell or tablet.
if you have keypads chime in addition to the hub they will be slightly out of sync (if even tells you this). sounds like an echoing effect.
if the keypad red wifi light comes on then you need to use the plugin range extender between the hub and keypad. rule of thumb if you have a good sized house you want to use one repeater in each room or so. additional can be had for $20-25 ebay.
i use the new ring keypad 2nd gen for both ring and smartthings. to differentiate between i put a transparent colored dot on the ones for smartthings.

a. if you live alone you can have one at front entrance and the other one in the bedroom. arm the whole house with motion sensors (better protection than just window door), and disarm without having to run all the way to the front entrance.
b. have one in the garage and one inside the house, that way you can arm/disarm from garage.
i am sure that in both cases the app can probably do both, but for old folks it's simple to push real large buttons.
Do you have a source quoted such limitation?
There is also a Dome siren you can purchase to have additional speakers/alarm presence in or outside the space.

Need to find a deal on the retrofit now

You can also control the individual volume levels on each keypad, done siren, and the base station speaker.
The retrofit kit is hard to find any deal on. It is $150 solid and consistent. I think I have seen it around $130 a couple of times on eBay, but the price is usually much higher than retail!
I just valued my time after for the extra $20 savings, and just purchased mine at the regular price. Good luck!

100% you can't hook up two base stations together - they are separate.
Hey! How did you get the $20 GC and 10% prime discount? I don't see in on Amazon. TIA
I have installed 4 of these in homes. No one uses keypads as the app is easier and awesome. You can use Alexa too to arm the system. The keypad is necessary only if you can't find your phone or want to give one time codes out
Unless you can sell all your stuff on a secondary market, seems that you have invested a lot in SS system. I switched from SS to Ring but I can't see ring continuing with $10 a month for ever, especially considering rising minimum wages and likely upcoming inflation
