      Hi Brett, I can't get my Amazon App to "discover" my Ring Doorbell Pro. Can you help? FYI, I've factory reset my Echo 5 twice already. I've made sure my Echo 5 and my phone are on the same network but have not been able to connect my doorbell to the Echo. Any tips you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great video.

      Yes follow his video but make sure to go into the cams settings and goto motion settings, adjust motion sensitivity up to 3/4 or so for testing, you can lower it later if desired.
      Turn Smart Alerts ON and in there click on Person - "Video" and "Bell" (notification icons) and Other Motion - "Video" and "Bell".
      Then turn Advanced Motion Detection On and in there set motion Frequency to Regular or Frequient.
      some of this may be optional but for me it made them work.
      ATTENTION: If the notification on the echo show says:
      "Motion detection at xxx cam"
      it will NOT show the live video.
      It has to say:
      "Person Detected at xxx cam"
      the difference being it has to use Smart detection and see something as a PERSON and a temperature change from the surroundings and then it will show the LIVE video on the Echo Show.
      Also if the person is 60 feet away or something it may not be large enough to detect as a person and just say Motion detected.
      You need the two Bells lit up for both Person Notifications and Other Notifications and both of the videos ON. it would not work with just Person video ON and no bell and seemed to need the Bell ans the Other video and bell ON too. All 4 ON.
      Having Other video On never showed live video to the show device even with the bell ON. it would record video for Other but not display it on the echo show live.
      ONLY PERSON VIDEOs GET LIVE DISPLAYED ON ECHO SHOW DEVICE for me on my 13 cams.
      I have 2 indoor stickups,
      1 Spotlight cam, 1 ring video doorbell 3 and 9 outdoor Stickup battery cams. they all allowd me to set them up this way.
      You also may need to setup motion zones or at least enable them if not ON by default. Mine are ON.
      And if this does not work try disabling the RING Skill in the Amazon Alexa App and then Re-Enable it and login as he shows at the start of his video. This may get it working as it rediscovers the devices and may see things better.
      Good Luck. It was very frustrating.

    Hi Brett. I have a Ring Spotlight Camera (not doorbell) and an Echo Show 5 with latest firmware/updates. I can't get the Echow Show to *automatically* display live view when the camera detects motion. The settings in the Alexa App are set to "announcement and live view" - and the Echo Show does make an announcement and will show live view if I ask it to with "Alexa, show front door" but I can't make it *automatically* display when motion is detected. Have you seen this issue / got any suggestions ? Many thanks.

      To Blackout:

      Settings;
      Clock and Photo display;
      Night Mode;
      Either sellect a schedule of when not to display all the junk or
      AUTOMATIC, it senses low light and blacks out.
      Choose Tighttime Clock to display a dim Red lettered clock on black instead of all black.
      I think a doorbell press may wake it up. turning light ON brings back everything.
      when you trun your room light switch off and the room is dark the display dims and goes out. lights own it all comes back.

      Echo - Rent Everything is right, we are not always in the same room than the echo show when someone doorbell is pressed... so the current delay before shut down are to short, 80% of the time I come to my echo and the live view stay just 3-4s ... not always enough to see who are at the door, and need to ask Alexa to show the camera again need 5-10 more seconds to show live view. That could be really better to include this settings in the skill parameter.

    Very much liked the Ring/Echo integration video , have been a long time user of these devices and had given up getting them to work together , this latest update from Amazon FINALLY has made it work like it should have from day one.... But , I would love to know how I can use more than one doorbell (I have one on my driveway gate and my side gate) , how can I have multiple ring devices linked and can I change their names ? , also if I was to invest in the Ring security cameras , can I get the motion and live video ability working on the Show devices as well ?. Finally , if I have a security camera multiview feed and individual IP cameras , have you ever seen a way to get live video on the Show devices from those ? . Lots of "Tech with Brett" video's and content for the future please ?

    Thanks Brett! I am happy you are showing some love for ring and echo. Because of your videos, I ultimately went all in with ring and echo (I chose ring pro doorbell over the google one because of the heat here in Las Vegas (supposedly the ring can handle heat up to 114 degrees and google door bell 101??) the feature of automatically showing the door will be really useful for my family on our shows. I always use “show me the front door” but didn’t realize I could do this automatically..which is a game changer. Could you maybe show some love for the Facebook portals? My wife bought me the Portal TV for my birthday and it is the best video calling experience..and a really fun device..I would like to see your take on it! Thanks for the great content.

      What services do you currently use a lot? Amazing Music, Audible or Play Movies, Play Music, Google Duo and so on. While I am a fan of Nest I would say then best thing to start with is what will make using the services your currently use more convenient. So if it is Google go that route, or Amazon go that way.
