Does the Ring Node Server work with the Ring Alarm (and any connected sensors)?

Sorry if I've missed this somewhere, but I'm trying to get a better sense of what the Ring Node Server supports.  I am aware it works with Ring cameras and doorbells (and their associated motion sensors).  Does it work with the Ring Alarm or Ring Alarm Pro, or any of the sensors connected to the Ring Alarms such as motion sensors, contacts sensors, glass breakage sensors, etc.?

@dwengrovitz I'm going to venture a guess that it DOES NOT since the information on the node server only mentions:

The Ring nodeserver creates nodes for your doorbells, stickup cams & floodlights.

Thanks @Geddy - I appreciate the response.  I had seen the node server intro in the store, which indicates what you referenced above.  The github entry is a bit more open to interpretation as it states "The Ring Node Server retrieves your Ring devices and allows you to get motion and ring events, and also control floodlights."  I was hoping maybe "motion and ring events" would refer more broadly to a set of events caused by other Ring devices such as motion sensors, contact sensors, etc.  Sadly, I believe it's "ring" vs "Ring" and I think that just means doorbell rings.    

Oh well -- I am glad for the level of support provided.  Perhaps one day it will expand to include events from the broader set of Ring devices.   Thanks again for commenting!

I've not ventured into more of the Ring offerings than the Doorbell Pro and Floodlight cam myself, but I know people that have and they like the system. I'm sure if Ring opens up other devices to something controllable that it might be something UDI could consider. I know @Michel Kohanim commented (elsewhere in the forums) that Ring requested some sort of business plan for the interaction. My guess would be that perhaps Ring only allowed a small connection to the Doorbell and Camera motion and ring status for the time being.

It's certainly something to consider putting into the Product Request category or contacting UDI and asking about it while giving a use case scenario. 

Take care!
