Ring, the smart home security solution that lets you watch over your home from anywhere, now works with Alexa! Simply enable the Ring Skill via your Alexa App and link your Alexa and Ring accounts.
Now you can see, hear and speak to people in front of your camera from your FireTVs, Echo Show, Echo Spot, Echo Speakers (such as Echo, Echo Plus and Echo Dot). Simply say: “Alexa, answer the front door.” “Alexa, talk to the backyard.”
When Ring Doorbell is pressed, live view automatically streams on Echo Show along with the Announcement. Selecting specific Alexa devices for Doorbell, Motion & Person notifications is available. You can also have Alexa play a chime when someone rings your Ring doorbell or use Alexa Routines to enable custom announcements or any other Routines (including turning on other smart home devices, playing news/ music etc.) when your Ring camera detects movement or someone rings the doorbell camera.
Multiple Alexa devices can now talk to one Ring doorbell/camera at the same time.
You can access the Live view from your Ring cameras by saying: “Alexa, show the front door”
To stop your Ring feed, you can say: “Alexa, hide the front door” “Alexa, stop” “Alexa, go home”
Viewing live activity also works with Shared Users, so anyone connected to your Ring camera can use Alexa to see who’s at your home.
With Ring Alarm, you can: arm/disarm, create routines with contact and motion sensors.
“Alexa, arm Ring.” (defaults to Home Mode) “Alexa, arm Ring away.” “Alexa, disarm Ring.” “Alexa, is Ring armed?”
Alexa can notify you when your Ring Smart Lights or Ring Alarm Contact Sensors/Motion Detectors are running low on batteries. You can also set up automatic reorders from (https://www.amazon.co.uk) so you’ll never run out of batteries.
