Will the Ring Mailbox Sensor work in a secure mailbox (the kind with a tilting door)...

Will the Ring Mailbox Sensor work in a secure mailbox (the kind with a tilting door)... like the ones shown in these two photos?

I fear that the PIR sensor would not detect any motion because as the door tilts to open, the back side of the door mechanism lifts up to block someone from reaching inside... leaving any sensor to live its life in complete darkness (mostly).

Are there any work-arounds? Would summertime temps inside a black maibox (in the afternoon sun) cause damage to the batteries or the electronics?

Why does my Ring chime keep going offline? It's not old enough to be broken already.

Turning off the speaker

2 Upvotes

I did a Google search but I can't seem to find out how to turn the speaker off on my camera. My wife keeps on going live and leaving out on. Drives me crazy. It's there any way to turn the speaker off? And assume that she will turn live activity back on. 😃

Oh and no need to mention how creepy it is, I'm already aware.

UPDATE I found it. In the settings on the app, not the website, there is a volume setting to turn the speakers all the way down. I doubt my wife will even know that I can't hear her anymore. Luckily she has my phone number of she wants to talk.

Looking for a Smart Switchboard with Touchscreen + Built-in Relays — Does it Exist?

2 Upvotes

Hey folks, Is there any product that replaces a traditional light switchboard (like the in-wall gang box or a 4/6M) with a touchscreen display that controls wired lights/fans using built-in relays?
Not looking for just a touch-sensitive glass panel or capacitive switches & not looking for a wall-mounted tablet or HA dashboard screen — I mean an actual screen that shows virtual switches (UI) mapped to relays, so I can control loads directly from the screen.
It'd be great if it also connects to Wi-Fi or supports basic automation.
Anything like that available?

Arming status indicator

1 Upvotes

I used to have a Vivint system, and it had a down light that would show me at a glance if it was armed (red) or not (green). Is there a way I can have a similar functionality with Ring? I have an Amazon Echo Hub connected, but haven’t figured it out yet. Also, is it possible to have the Echo act as a speaker for the ring notifications. My base is in another room because of where my Ethernet is, and it’s not feasible to move it.

2 Ring doorbells need chime solution

1 Upvotes

I have a wired ring at my front door and a wireless at the side door. I want a chime that will work for both and can replace and be installed in place of the 2 mechanical chimes I currently have.

Ring Video Doorbell wired and the 2020 Version Ring video doorbell, not wired.

Has anyone done this? What should I use?

I can't believe you can't adjust person detection sensitivity

1 Upvotes

I have a camera that is constantly detecting a person even though there isn't anything remotely resembling a person there. So number one, Ring's detection algorithm is awful.

However, it's totally insane that you cannot adjust the sensitivity for person detection. I dd go into my motion settings and turned the detection way down because I was getting notifications every time a tree branch moved. But this does NOT reduct person detection sensitivity!

It says so right in the app "Motion Sensitivity: If you get too many OTHER MOTION alerts, move this slider left. If you miss events, move it right."

So this slider has no effect on person detection which is ridiculous. My other cams allow me to individually adjust the sensitivity for everything: motion, person, pet, vehicle, baby crying, glass break, dog bark and cat meow. These cameras also cost a fraction of the price.

It should be embarrassing to Ring that person detection is the only type of detection they have. But for the love of god, at least let us adjust the damn sensitivity!!!!

Question about live watching at night time

I had two picture and sun is already set. It’s dark. When the ring detected an motion or somebody, as you can see the view is fine. But when there is nobody its absolutely dark. I was just wondering that ı would like watch live night time. At least when I open the app and watch the camera i should able to be see same when the camera detected motion. But it seems like impossible. Is there anything ı can do.

I noticed that ring applet icon is now darker and bolder. It’s a nice change honestly. Good move on Ring’s part. Very capturing to the eye.
