Great video! I was trying to brainstorm how to add a siren for my ring alarm to put inside detached garage, and one to alert on outside of my home when I ran across your video. I didn't even know ring made those power outlets. They're always trying to recommend light bulbs, floodlights, and other stuff I don't want but never once saw this smart outlet! Ordered my strobes and sirens just now, and will be doing this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this easy solution!
I have a question can you set it to turn on the outlet when the alarm goes off? I called ring and they told me the bridge will only turn the lights on if you connect it to a ring camera. Thx for any information on this because I want to do like you did and install a siren out side and use the outdoor outlet .
I called ring and they won’t tell me how this would connect. They tell me contact sensors or motion won’t trigger the outdoor outlet. Please please help me
I did similar, but instead of ring add on i just used a kasa smart plug with the speakers and set a routine command through alexa. Nice info vid though
could you elaborate on how the routine triggers the smart plug... ie. is Alexa able to use "Ring alarm is tripped" as an action to trigger a wifi plug on or off?

No problem. It has been working great.
Can you walk through the process of incorporating the bridge and the light switch?
Question, how did you used the smart outdoor plug with Ring Alarm system.

Yes you can get the alarm from the base station to activate the outlet.
Please help walk me through now to set it up off of the ring app

I also do not have or need a retro fit kit
Do
I need the out door plug if i only want to run 1 inside my apartment?
Can you post the links where you got everything?
How did you connect the strobe (red light)?
Seems like you need an Alexa for this to work am I correct?
You don’t have to have Alexa. You can use the app.
How did you rig this all up
