I have an Eufy doorbell and it works really well the only complaint I have is the battery life, tends to need to be recharged more often than I’d like. Other than that very happy with it. The Eufy has package protection.
Steve, nice job on setting up automations with a few of the motor popular video doorbells. IFTTT has some nice integration, but now with them charging a monthly costs, pretty much eliminated them from the mix!
Hi, I just watched your video and although I'm sure it's good if you have those devices, what can I do to connect my Ring doorbell to Google Home Hub? Is it even possible? I'm not able to find anyone who can answer this question. Thank you.
Thanks for the information. Just not sure why you're not just using the routines in the Alexa app instead of IFTTT. I agree that IFTTT is useful for more complex if, then routines, but for the examples you gave in the video I didn't see any that couldn't have done easier, faster and cheaper in the Alexa app....i.e. If the doorbell rings blink a light, etc.
I have bought 2 Ring Doorbells and I don’t care if it’s $3 a month I bought the doorbell and I’m very IT savy so I’m going to build me something that I don’t have to pay for any subscriptions thankfully I have my degree in IT so I’ll stay in touch if anyone wants to know what I have done to make a free doorbell with ring doorbells, blink cameras, Wyze cameras for my parts.
I have an Arlo Doorbell and like the idea of a small screen for my daughter to see who is at the door. Any suggestions on possible setup? Would I just look for a very small screen with HDMI for a Chromecast? What worries me is that the small screen would need to be switched on 24/7, yet is only used for a few seconds every day on average...
Hi Steve I have some Arlo cameras and when the batteries were dead I took them down to charge and when I plugged them in I got a lightning bolt and I left it charged for hrs and nothing.......any suggestions
You have all these features but you can't turn down the speaker volume on the doorbell speaker. If you do try to have a two-way conversation with the person outside the speaker blows them away because it's way too loud and if you live in a condo every person on your floor can hear your conversation😢
I got a question. I have the Arlo Ultra 4K cameras and my Google Home goes off every time someone is detected. I love it. how can I get it to cast to my TV every time someone is detected it already cast when I say the hot word to the google home
Hi Steve thanks! Will Ring wireless doorbell pick up whoever is littering on my lawn as my home is on a corner 30ft to road. Any suggestions? Just orfered Simplisafe sys after your vid.
I may or may not use the Ring + Alexa + IFTTT combo and it's fantastic! But, you left out the Logi Circle View Doorbell and HomePod :( Great video as always Steve!!
Thanks for your videos! I have 5 Google minis, one Hub and 2 new Google doorbells. The upper deck only announces at the Hub, the lower deck announces only on the nearby the door Mini. If you have a video that announces on all of the Minis and the Hub, please post it. It's for to be something simple that I'm missing.
Great video. I've been disappointed with IFTTT every time I messed around with it. Even the app interface is a mess. I have ring and alexa so I just make routines based on motion/no motion and doorbell presses. The motion sensor in it is good enough that I've been able to get rid of the independent motion sensor I had on the porch. BTW, ring just added smart responses to the ring doorbell 2nd gen. Do you know how to change the speaker volume? I only see a volume adjustment for the doorbell chime.
I have my ecosystem with Smarttings and Samsung phone. Samsung phone dont answer fine, the volume is low, its a problem with the microphone. I quit the screen protection from the speakers or Ring doorbell, to works fine =( You idea from animate with color ligths was great!!
I also have Wyze. Am very disappointed that they just started charging a fee for smart person, car & package detection. (On Wyze) They are also only allowing only 5sec recording every 5 mins free. Otherwise you have to pay for continuous recording. I do have my Wyze cameras connected with my Alexa’s though, which I love. They didn’t use to charge for these features & I use to have continuous recording on my SD cards at no charge, but to get it to go to the Cloud, you’ll have to pay. (After 14 days free) Good Luck
My door bell is old ,but work greats ...has voice activating and sensor...load as hell ...but you have to feed him 2 times a day .and scratch his ass .🐕🐕🍺🍺
Your second feature is great for those with little or no hearing. Ring doorbell - flash lights. Brilliant. My wife is deaf so am doing this now.

Hi Steve! Thanks for the great info!
Is there a way to put one at the end of our driveway? We don't get wifi out there but we do have electric.
Hello. Thanks great info! I have a Ring video pro 2 and I was wondering how can I get it to stay on live video at all times?

Great video...actually learned about new features....tks
Can we still access them when we are not home for example like at work?
oh my, I have the exact same stone front, can you please tell me/explain how/what you used to hang the ring doorbell?
Do I need to buy a chime? Or I can only use the Alexa show 5? Sorry new with all this

Should have bought a Eufy..........
Did you figure that out?
Ok so what did you come up with? You just left us all hanging.
Will you do a video on how to set up a Nest door bell to show on TVs please?

Hi can I display my door bell Vivint pro in my smart Sony tv?
Hi Steve I have some Arlo cameras and when the batteries were dead I took them down to charge and when I plugged them in I got a lightning bolt and I left it charged for hrs and nothing.......any suggestions
Will that motion alert work with the Google home mini. I hate the Amazon Alexa stuff.
I know that with Ring and Samsung TVs you can add both to SmartThings and set a notification to display on the TV if an action takes place.
Nest has the package detection as well I love the nest
i have a ring foor bell , can I add a second one to it to see at a different door ?
ring door bell
Would this work with Roku please.

So, can you use lights that use the Amazon Smart plugs for the ring?
thank you brother great intro

Can the ring 2021 be use by two different persons. Phone i mean.
Great video as usual... Steve which security camera's are you using currently... I've used Eufy and Arlo 2...think I liked Arlo better
Thank you! I currently have a mix of Eufy and Arlo. That Arlo Ultra is hard to beat when it comes to quality.
@@SteveDOES what's the difference between the Arlo 3 and Arlo Ultra besides one being 4k other is 2k?
@@purplesabbath I believe that's the only difference, video resolution.
Arlo is the best doorbell out not sure why it’s not on here
I may or may not use the Ring + Alexa + IFTTT combo and it's fantastic! But, you left out the Logi Circle View Doorbell and HomePod :( Great video as always Steve!!
haha i'm still dabbling with HomeKit and don't have a Circle View to test with yet. :)
Can Vivint doorbell display on Echo Show? If so how?
Unfortunately it can not.
Thanks for your videos!

Thanks for the tips!

Looks great to catch Porch Pirates. However I also have my 200 pound dog to catch the bad guys!
That's a big dog!

Excellent
