Overview
- Ring’s new sensors and controls use Amazon Sidewalk for connectivity instead of Wi‑Fi or Z‑Wave, operating hub‑free with shipments slated for March.
- Offerings span security, safety and control categories, including door and window sensors, motion and glass‑break detection, smoke and CO listeners, flood and freeze sensors, air‑quality monitors, smart plugs and switches.
- The Sidewalk‑enabled Ring Car Alarm with GPS is available for pre‑order and was developed with Cambridge Mobile Telematics.
- Ring is adding an in‑app Ring Appstore for third‑party integrations, rolling out to U.S. users in the coming weeks.
- New AI features—Unusual Event Alerts and Active Warnings—arrive later this month for subscribers, while Sidewalk coverage expands to Canada and Mexico as Amazon reiterates privacy safeguards after prior opt‑out concerns.
