Ring Alarm Flood and Freeze Sensor Installation and Test

- Our brand new dishwasher has caused water damage twice in a year so I have decided to add a flood sensor to my Ring security system to detect flood early. I also did some test on the sensor to show what will happen after water is detected.

very easy and comprehensive explanation - thank you
Thank you for this video. I actually purchased 2 while watching.
Thank you
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.
The problem with RING's water/freeze sensor is the alert is via email, not a text message to my phone. Frozen pipes are a concern up here in Alaska. So I went with a pp-Code sensor which has 3 distinct advantages: 1) The user can specify the threshold for temperatures, for example, send an alert if the temperature is above 70F or below 50F. 2) Text alerts whenever the threshold is exceeded. 3) The user can remotely look at hourly logs to see the exact temperature and trends for example 65F,62F,59F,55F 50F...etc.
Thanks for sharing. Good information to know. I think the Ring sensor is more of a flood sensor, not a thermometer. I am actually thinking of getting some WiFi thermometers to put in different rooms of our house. A WiFi thermometer should be able to show hourly logs and also allow you to set threshold for alert. The Ring flood sensors do send alert to your phone app and also call you.
Oh my god. Stop saying the same thing on every video because it does send a app notification.
Great video. Thanks. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought two of these sensors...so, the term sensor implies to "sense", so I was under the impression the sensor doesn't need to come in direct contact with water., just be near it, like 16" above a flooded basement. Now I find out it does. So, what happens if the sensor gets submerged in a pool of water, say in basement flood? It's not water-proof (I don't believe), will it get damaged after every time it's submerged? And if that happens, does Ring offer a Warrenty replacement?! A sensor should "sense" without coming into contact!
Actually in every situation that a “sensor” is used it comes into contact with what it is “sensing” lol. They are not magic. You know an indoor outdoor thermometer has two sensors? One sensor is inside for the inside temperature. The other sensor your drill l hole in your wall and hang it outside or you have a wireless sensor that sits outside. A sensor has to come in contact to sense. They don’t read minds
Anyone know what happens if you don’t answer?
Good question! I think for break-ins and fire alarms, they will call the fire department or police. But for water sensors, probably do nothing.
The basestation is the same for all generations.
Thank you for sharing the information. Good to know!
Why does ring have to call
I think if you are in their protection plan, they will call. There is probably a way to select no call.
Have one, batteries are expensive and only last a few weeks!!!! Not three years! Do not buy!
Too bad we bought one batteries are still good after 2 years
Must've been a bad battery.
No, replaced multiple times and multiple units. It has to do with interference to control panel.
Buy rechargeable batteries if possible. Problem solved.
