I used this technique on my garage door a couple of years ago. Rather than solder to the board, I cut the glass reed switch out and soldered to those leads. I wanted about a 4 minute delay on that door only so I added a relay that shunts the Ring switch anytime the garage opener light is energized. My opener has 2 bulbs so I just replaced one of the bulbs with an adapter that turns it to an outlet. That’s where the relay coil plugs in. Great video.
Sweet! I have 3 wired doors already, so converting and tripling to one of these, may save me buying two additional sensors, and not buying their retro kit. All this providing that longer additional wire will still work.

Great video, btw, it is time to replace that 2015 back up battery!
We don't use that alarm system it was the previous tenants, we have Ring Alarm :)
Does anyone know if this will work with the Ring Contact Sensor Gen 2? I can't find any Gen 1s available to buy anymore 😞
How did this system age? Is the battery life ok?
