We are currently using it and it works great, with rings on front door and back door of the house. We are utilizing five echoes in the house. To control the lights and rings. It’s really helpful because my wife is in a wheelchair. Your videos are very instrumental in me setting up my smart home. Thank you for all your videos.
Are you able to customize the chime sound the doorbell makes for notification? Modify it from the alexa app perhaps? Or is it you get what you get on default? ***Nevermind, I watched the video more and saw the answer is yes***
When you say alexa show the front door it shows the live feed to your TV. Its super sick! Essentially I have a 55 inch security monitor in my living room
I was hoping I could use my echo 4th gen with built in bridge to control a couple of lights without the ring bridge. Its looking like Ill need the ring bridge is that correct?
@@richiejohnson2743 Yes mate - I have my ring announce motion and doorbell on all my echoes - you can pick and choose which echo/s you want to use too - and if you ever buy an echo with a screen you can access the video when someone rings on the screen - hope that helps
The combo of the ring and Show was the primary reason for getting the show. I have a 1st gen dot on my desk at work which alerts me to people at my door. Which is nice to know due to my wife home alone all day.
There was an update yesterday/today to the Alexa app (for IOS at least, Canada), version 2.2.326868.0, and I now see the "announcement devices" options for the doorbell and tested that it does auto load the live view to my Echo Show(s) when doorbell pressed, for a short time.
I’m getting one soon. What happens to the chime from your regular doorbell? I hope you can respond and answer my question. It’s also cool that you can use a Google Nest Hub with the doorbell. Thanks. Jim
your old chime is of no use, you need to buy Amazon chime, if you figure out some alternative, plz do let me know as well. I have echo dot 3 but not able to connect Ring Doorbell to Echo dot 3 and use as digital chime.
I would love to see them add an additional routine option. I can see where when there's motion it turns on an inside light so you don't walk into a dark house or when the doorbell rings to turn on a porch light. I don't however want to turn on lights in the middle of the afternoon, so a routine option to only do it from sunset to sunrise would be great. This would probably be helpful on other routines too.
You could set that up in the alexa app as a routine. i setup a ringa alarm motion sensor in my garage. In alexas i setup a routine to say "someone is in the garage" if the motion sensor senses motion. So you can setup a routine in alexa to turn on a light when the ring doorbell's motion triggers. you need to have the lamp or lights on a smart plug or smart light switch. good luck
Djernie T I have it set up like that, what I’d like is the ability to set routines to sunrise and sunset. This way the motion doesn’t turn on the light when it’s already light outside. I’ve manually set times but summer and wither times will be drastically different. Not sure if I’m explaining this well.
You can also ask your echo to talk to the Ring doorbell even if it hasn’t it hasn’t been pressed or has detected motion. It’s useful for shooing away neighbourhood cats.
Hello and thanks for all your useful videos. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have "Announcement Devices" on the UK version of the app. Do you have any idea when we may get this update in the UK? Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Hello Nick, thank you very much. I am glad you enjoy the videos. I have no idea when that feature will come to the UK. Amazon keeps everything quiet until the feature comes out. It is annoying that there is no definite answer to when features will be out. Sorry I don’t have a better answer. Thanks for watching.
Hi! Thanks for the helpful video. I just have one question, if you, or somobody here, know. Does this doorbell has a function that, when the person rings the doorbell, he "receives" a small sound as a response? For example, it is Christmas time, and when my visitors ring the bell on my frontdoor, the are going to hear christmas bells or a christmas soundtrack, while they are waiting for me to open the door. Thank you very much!
I’ve searched all over the internet for the answer to this question with no luck, is there any way of making the volume full on the eco device for doorbell sounds, like if I’m using It for background music then forget to turn it back up I can barely hear the doorbell?
Still falls short of what Nest Hello and Nest hub can do in tandem. By a long shot! The response time is quick and Nest Hub can actually recognize people and announce them
So Craig I have a question I can't figure it out on my own. So when I first set up my ring doorbell every single Alexa device in the house would make a sound and then say someone's at the front door when it only senses the motion. Now I figured out how to stop it from doing that in the settings like you showed us. And when somebody presses the button they all announce which that's what I want cuz they're far enough apart anyways. But for some reason when the doorbell senses motion they all would just make a chime sound which it was okay. But then all of a sudden only one is doing it now and even though I don't really care because I really only want to be notified on my echo devices if somebody rings the doorbell because the app itself lets me know about the motion anyways. But it's just driving me crazy not to understand why only one is chiming now Even though I shut off motion announcements none of them should be making any noise.
Also works for the Ring cameras, in Alexa app go to devices, pick camera icon it brings up all cameras associated with Alexa, then pick your camera, you'll see announcement devices it'll say # of echo devices, pick that and it'll bring up all your devices. Then just touch what devices you don't want the announcement on. Do that to all your cameras. Now the household won't be blasted at 2 a.m. when the dog goes out to pee in the back yard.
Great video. Question, Have you found a way to have the echo device follow the ring motion sensor alert timers? I set a timer on my doorbell yet my echo devices still announce motion.
I have not had any problems with the ring app. It is been solid for me. The keypad a new features. Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the nice comment and watching the video.
@@CraigsTechTalk Super, thank you and you are very welcome. My Ring Doorbell 3 comes tomorrow, thought a good investment as disabled so not the fastest on my feet + good for security too.
Hello Craig, I use my echo devices with my ring doorbell system. It’s especially good for me because I am a blind user. I do not wish to use a show, although the show is very good for describing items that I hold in my hand. I just don’t have a show and I don’t see myself getting a show anytime soon. Just a thought.
Hey, im experiencing some issues. My amazon echo does not male any noise when the ring doorbell is pressed. I have followed all the steps. Is there anorhsr solution?
Good Day Craig, I'm new to the ring doorbell and echo show and dot setup, in fact just installed it 24 hours ago. May you please convey on how to open the two way communication for my echo dots? You mentioned this is your latest discovery via ring posts online but you didn't mention on how to go about this setup? Pleased to hear back
Is there any way of doing a voice command to snooze the motion sensor? For example, if you want to sit on the front porch, can you set up a routine to have Ring to snooze the motion sensing by saying "Alexa, snooze the ring motion for _____ minutes." instead of having to go into the app and doing it that way??
What is the advantage of replacing the old door bell VERSUS allowing the Ring to be mounted in the middle of the door behind a locked storm door (at night) AND keeping the existing doorbell in place ? I don't have the space on the edge/side of my front door for a Ring camera and I am wondering about an alternative set-up.
Can you do a video or explain the volume controls ? When I press the bell its loud outside and my connected amazon echo doesn't alert me even though its connected to the bell ..I want to turn outside sound down but amazon echo ring alert volume up ? ..thanks if you can help
This is a great video Craig! I was hating that all 12 my devices sprang to life when someone rang the doorbell! I didn't know this feature had been added and thanks to you, the cocophony of announcements doesn't freak the family and the dog out! Really digging the changing the doorbell sound too. Those Ring folks (Amazon) are amazing! Maybe I'm a tad partial. :-)
The only thing is I can seem to find an way to change the volume. In order to hear the chime from my devices, the device volume has to be 100% volume, which doesn't bode well when you ask Alexa to do anything else and the volume is blaring.
Thank you so very much. I found your video using an internet search. I wanted to know if I could mute a single echo dot in my child's bedroom and how. Then I found you. Her echo has now been muted from the ring announcement of someone is at the door. We live in an apt and it goes off a lot, even in the middle of the night. Thanks so much for showing me step by step how to mute it.
Hi! Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, my Alexa App shows that it is connected and enabled the Ring device, but when the doorbell rings, the Echo does not make an announcement. Do you know what the problem is? Thanks for your time!
@@tambrabham503 I am not able to connect Ring Doorbell to Echo dot 3, looks like Amazon has discontinued this feature, are you able to use Echo as digital chime?
Unfortunately you can’t do that. It’s either in announces on the echoes with the voice announcement or not at all. It’s a bummer that that is not an option.
@@CraigsTechTalk I am not able to connect Ring Doorbell to Echo dot 3, looks like Amazon has discontinued this feature, are you able to use Echo as digital chime?
@@CraigsTechTalk yeap that was a disapponting point for me, I was hoping that the ring sound was more "presistence", not only a short sound and the announcement, if you not near you will not notice the echo dot :(
I haven’t got a ring doorbell I’ve got a stick up cam battery because my porch doesn’t have any electric power points And thank you very much for making this video I should’ve watched it before I got onto Ring Because they didn’t tell me What you just told me that you can make this stick up cam charms Through your speakers so thank you
Hi Craig thanks for the amazing Videos keep up the good work. I wonder if you have come across this on my Alexa app all my camera's show up twice in the list of devices, even though I only have one ring door bell it shows 2 and same with the other camera's. Have I done something wrong in the setup. Thanks
Thank you. I am glad that you are enjoying the videos. I have had other devices linger even though I got rid of them. I would try removing both of each camera and try adding them back in. It sounds like they were recognized once and then for some reason they were rediscovered. That is odd.
@@CraigsTechTalk Hi Craig I took all the ring camera's off the alexa app and set them up again but the same thing happened in the discovery it found multiple camera's..I think it may aim using a U.S Alexa Echo show and dot's with U.K ring camera thanks again for you advice
Hello Ken I am not sure. I have not played with the wyze lock. I would have thought you could use voice commands to unlock once the wyze skill was downloaded. Sorry I am not much help.
True about the stories. But be sure to use two factor authentication. However i dont see how the email method wouldnt be better if you have two factor to get into your email.
Hello Gareth, I’m sorry I realized I never responded to this comment. Thanks for checking out the video. I appreciate all the support. We actually smile here in California when we see room because we do need it.
Update 7/21: In the RING Main App., it now offers to Link to Alexa Without having to download the Skill in the Alexa App.Going to the Alexa App., you can select which devices and what ring you want.
i use mine when there is motion at front door it turns on my hall light for 5 min and if you ring the door bell it turns on another light in front room of house
Soooo. Now you got me more interested in the ring doorbell. I’ve been waiting for a new version and I see that there is a new version coming thanks to a previous video. My question. Can the doorbell be used w/o subscription? Great videos and glad to see the channel picking up subscribers.
You can use it without a subscription but it will not save your events to the cloud. I thought about not doing the subscription but since it was only $30 a year that was a reasonable price. I got a free 30 day trial period to see how it works before spending the $
I replace my ring 2 which I liked with nest hello doorbell because I have a Google home and like it a lot better than alexa. However I think I like ring doorbell better than nest hello..may get pro, don't know what to do uet
I have a ring doorbell and echo dots and echo show, the video works on the echo show. We just got a echo spot but the video like when someone rings the doorbell it doesn’t show video. Help please
@@CraigsTechTalk love your stuff. I have just got a ring video 2 it was of great interest to hear about the echoes as I have 4. Nearly bought the bell extension. You saved me a few £.
rob the elder Don’t know if Craig has seen this but new update to the Alexa app now allows users to select which Alexa device gets the notifications. Just go under device and then under camera and it will be there. Don’t know if it is working the US but it is here in England.

I really appreciate you not saying Alexa. I hate when commercials make her go off. Also I’m liking this video because Daisy is the cutest.
I call my echo by 'computer'. I don't like to get personal with it. I want to treat it as a tool, not a person.
@@whatsamattayoobro what💀
I was going to buy a ring chime but now I know i can use any of my 5 echos or show
Glad it helped.
Yeah, I was in the same boat! Now I know I have 6 ‘chimes’ already in a sense.

Some reviews on UK Amazon site say you need the chime, but if you have any other echo device you don't - thanks for the videos Craig
That’s great. So just to confirm I can buy the ring doorbell and utilise my two echo dots and not buy a chime?

Has this update 4 ring on alexa come out in the UK ? Cant get it to work
I am not sure. Amazon does not release availability for a lot of features and I am only able to share what I have here in the US.
The combo of the ring and Show was the primary reason for getting the show. I have a 1st gen dot on my desk at work which alerts me to people at my door. Which is nice to know due to my wife home alone all day.

Update 7/21: In the RING Main App., it now offers to Link to Alexa Without having to download the Skill in the Alexa App.Going to the Alexa App., you can select which devices and what ring you want.
What're the stories you've heard about Ring? I have one, and would love to know.
s20 ultra review?
Will j using a Google home with ring?
what happens if i just have the echo dot
You can use it as a chime and you can speak to people at the door
@@CraigsTechTalk ok thank you
My Alexa isn't telling me if someone is at my front door pressing the bell
It used to but now it won't work
Great video; thanks.
Thank you 🙏
The “announcement devices” auto-view feature doesn’t seem to be available in Canada yet.
i use mine when there is motion at front door it turns on my hall light for 5 min and if you ring the door bell it turns on another light in front room of house
you saved me buying a ring chime ! they get enough of our money :) Thank You
Great video
Soooo. Now you got me more interested in the ring doorbell. I’ve been waiting for a new version and I see that there is a new version coming thanks to a previous video. My question. Can the doorbell be used w/o subscription? Great videos and glad to see the channel picking up subscribers.
You can use it without a subscription but it will not save your events to the cloud. I thought about not doing the subscription but since it was only $30 a year that was a reasonable price. I got a free 30 day trial period to see how it works before spending the $
I replace my ring 2 which I liked with nest hello doorbell because I have a Google home and like it a lot better than alexa. However I think I like ring doorbell better than nest hello..may get pro, don't know what to do uet
I have a ring doorbell and echo dots and echo show, the video works on the echo show. We just got a echo spot but the video like when someone rings the doorbell it doesn’t show video. Help please
The Echo spot is one of the first Echos with a screen to come out. I don’t think it supports video on it.
Craig's Tech Talk, I got it working now. I just needed to update the echo spot
cool video, may have to look into this.
I have the ring doorbell to, really, any ring will work.
Thank you Adrian. I appreciate it.
You may run out of choices and you have a very smart dog
You have a good point Dave. She has caught on again already.
@@CraigsTechTalk love your stuff. I have just got a ring video 2 it was of great interest to hear about the echoes as I have 4. Nearly bought the bell extension. You saved me a few £.
Thank you very much. Glad to hear that you didn’t have to by the chime. Saving money is always nice. The echos as chimes are great.
The part with your daughter was cute.
Thank you Ryan. I appreciate it. My daughter is awesome. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Thanks for the info. You are a cool guy. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
You show that dog whose boss Craig 👊
You know it Gareth. She always wins in the end and doesn’t listen to me. But she is super sweet.
great video quality
Thanks. It works.
3:48 no, you're not. :P Dog's are incredibly smart. But thank you for this video it helped me with my ring doorbell (now I wish I had another dog).
I have. The problem is ALL the Echos announce at the same time. We have 12in the house

Don’t know if Craig has seen this but new update to the Alexa app now allows users to select which Alexa device gets the notifications. Just go under device and then under camera and it will be there. Don’t know if it is working the US but it is here in England.
@@josedvaldez6699 Thanks for the info I will go look
Thank you👍
