New Ring Security Lights (January 2019)

I just received the Pathlights from Amazon this past Thursday. The packaging is extremely unnecessary as each light comes in this HUGE box. The product seems to work pretty well so far. They each require 4 D Batteries NOT included, so make sure to order them as well. You can link them via motion to your Ring Doorbell Camera’s and other lights to record video or turn on lights. I like that since we all know Ring’s motion sensors do miss events from time to time, so this will manually force a video recording and since we don’t pay for storage, it doesn’t matter. My only complaint about them is they are rather tall. You can control the brightness and at night, they can remain dim and brighten with motion. It requires a small hub which I stuck in the garage and connects to your Wifi.

So far there is no integration with Smartthings for them, but I am not sure I would even need it. The Ring ecosystem is really working well for me between Alexa, the Ring Alarm, doorbell camera, spotlight camera and pathlights. I plan on getting the steplights later this summer once I redo my steps. I wish they sold lights like Kuna because then I would stick those in certain areas as well.

I’ve attached this video so you can see them.
