I know this has nothing to do with your current project but was curious if there was a way to read the contact open,close of a Ring door contact. These contacts are from what I can tell zwave sensors which are battery powered and was hoping that I could incorporate them into a home automation system to monitor door or windows?

Hi Larry.
I’m not familiar with those sensors.
But if you have a multimeter and you can open and disassemble the sensor, you should be able to figure out where the contact is.
What protocol do those sensors use?

This is a wireless contact, I believe it’s 433mhz but may be 315 not sure. It’s a z wave wireless battery operated sensor so I am leaning on 433mhz. It typically uses a ring hub but I would like to possibly use it with a ESP device 

If it uses 433mHZ maybe you can hack it by reading its signals and then trying to mimic those signals with a board and a 433mHZ transmitter.

It looks like it’s in the range of 908mhz to 915. Considering purchasing one from Ada fruit and do as you suggested, thanks.

Then let us know your progress.
I’ll mark this issue as resolved. If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.
