How to Install a SmartThings Edge Driver for Ring Alarm Devices

Updated: Jul 7

The following instructions will provide you with the necessary steps for installing SmartThings Edge Drivers for the Ring Alarm Contact and Motion Sensors.


IMPORTANT NOTE: If you currently have your Ring Alarm Z-Wave Device installed on the Ring Alarm hub or another Z-Wave hub you must delete and exclude each connected device from the other Z-Wave hub before adding them to SmartThings. Z-Wave devices must be exclusive to only a single Z-Wave capable hub. If you need to exclude your Ring Alarm device from another Z-Wave hub please reference the manufactures instructions for hub exclusion. If you need to exclude your device from the SmartThings or Aeotec hub, see the section below titled: "Exclusion Instructions"


If you have a new Ring Alarm sensor or you deleted and excluded your Ring Alarm devices from a different Z-Wave hub you are now ready to install your device to the SmartThings app. Before installing your device to the SmartThings app, you should download the Ring Alarm Custom Edge Driver to your Aeotec or SmartThings hub. The appropriate Ring Alarm Custom Edge Driver can be downloaded by clicking on the following invitation link:

@Bud.. Thanks for your work. Do you know if ring motion sensor (1st generation) works with smartthings. I installed the edge drivers and I was able to pair the motion sensor, but it always shows no motion. Only the tamper alert works.

The edge driver only works with the GEN two ring alarm sensors, unfortunately.

Hi.. Do you know we can add the ring alarm (outdoor siren) to the Samsung smart hub. If yes, can you please post the edge driver to that.

I am heavily invested in smart things and I have all my sensors, energy plugs, etc. paired with smart things but I am yet to find a outdoor siren that works with smart things.. After lots of research I shortlisted few outdoor siren which people say works with smart things but none of them are available in market. I did find few in ebay

1. Boundary (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285741890838) The corresponding support thread in smarthings community https://community.smartthings.com/t/edge-boundary-security-sensors-edge-driver-uk/261842.

2. Everspring Z-Wave Indoor/Outdoor Siren

3. GoControl Z-Wave Siren and Strobe

4. Zipato Outdoor Siren with Strobe

None of these are available in even EU ebay except for the Boundary siren.

I am skeptical to get that as there is no way to return it…
