I see a lot of HA users using the Ring Keypad to arm/disarm their alarm over Z-Wave. I’m suspicious of Amazon, probably overly so. I just tore out a Ring doorbell. Having said that, if this thing can work entirely free of cloud dependencies, it may still work for me.

Can the ring keypad phone home or exfiltrate telemetry data about my network? Does it connect to this Amazon sidewalk network they’ve created?

I don’t want to give Amazon any window into my home.
