Arming or Disarming Ring Alarm with your Smart Lock

Ring’s Smart Lock Integration has the ability to arm or disarm your Ring Alarm straight from your Ring-compatible Z-Wave smart lock when you are subscribed to a compatible Ring subscription.¹ After you install and set up the integration, you can lock and unlock your doors through the Ring app. You can also arm and disarm your Ring Alarm by locking or unlocking your door using your compatible smart lock. Important note: Smart lock integrations are currently only available in the United States and Canada.

• The disarm code is used to open the lock and disarm the system.
• Someone attempts to tamper with the lock.
• The lock malfunctions.
• The lock jams.
• The feature is offline.
