This was a dream to set up in HA using the standard ZWave JS integration.
I would recommend installing the Ring Keypad Automation blueprint from HACS (see second picture) as that allows you to set actions for the panic, fire and police buttons.
Steps to add the keypad are as follows;
1. Navigate to Integrations - ZWave - add device
2. Connect the keypad to a wall outlet (it will not pair otherwise)
3. Press and hold the number 1 button on the keypad
It's that quick! Had the device added within seconds. Then opened up the blueprint to configure the buttons.
Only downside is you cannot change what the disarm and arm buttons do in the blueprint.
I.e. I don't use alarm home (the middle button) it would have been nice to change that to Alarm Night.
I could just change my settings in Alarmo to make use of this button but for now I'm not going to use it as my needs might change later.
I do have an NFC on the bedside which is my Goodnight kill switch, it turns off all lights and devices while also arming Alarmo to Armed Night and that's been working great before I bought the keypad.
But anyway that's HA specific and not down to the ring device itself.
The motion sensor on the keypad is great, as the keys light up when you walk up to it. This can of course be switched off. The keypad is well built, nice looking (much better than the gen 1).
There is a red light that moves across the front of the keypad reflecting the alarm arm timer you have set in Alarmo and there is voice feedback on the alarm state when it arms and disarms.
First impressions are very good, and although this is newly set up I hope it performs well.
