I was thinking of getting the ring solarpath lights but it says you need a ring Bridge? I have the Ring Doorbell and chime now . Help me understand what the bridge does and why I need it.

Bridge allows you to control the lights, it’s an RF transmitter/converter. The bridge connects to the lights via RF & then connects to your system via WiFi.

Basically, the Bridge make the lights smart lights, otherwise they’re just solar lights and you can’t control them in the app

When you buy the solarpath lights, you should get the bridge with the system. I got mine that way.
