Is there any way to disable "Someone is at the front door"?

Hi all, Is there anyway to keep the audio alert through my echo devices without the echo device saying, "Someone is at the front door"?

    Not at this time, @Keo . However, I have sent your feedback to the team!

      I am getting this message apparently randomly and it is very annoying. It is coming from my phone and not the Echo box.

      I like the seasonal sounds but following them up with “Someone is at the front door” is ANNOYING.

    @Keo I don’t have a doorbell so can only comment for cameras, you can disable that motion alert within the Alexa app under devices. You can then set up a Alexa routine to alert you on any motion with just a sound (choices available) or a verbal notice (you can type in what ever you want Alexa to say when there is motion) or a combination of both and other wonderful things!

          Hi there, @JackChehebar! It looks like a neighbor shared some information about Alexa announcements above, [quote="Mannyshere14, post:5, topic:851"] you can disable that motion alert within the Alexa app under devices. You can then set up a Alexa routine to alert you on any motion with just a sound (choices available) or a verbal notice (you can type in what ever you want Alexa to say when there is motion) or a combination of both and other wonderful things! [/quote] Feel free to also check out our [help center article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360018032731-Doorbell-Chime-Notifications-Through-Amazon-Alexa) about announcements with Alexa, which mentions the ability to choose separate sounds and having a choice of sounds to use. If this does not accomplish exactly what you are looking for, feel free find this request in our [Feature Request Board](https://community.ring.com/c/products/feature-request-board/24) and vote for it.

            I set up a routine the way a @Mannyshere14 suggested, but it doesn't seem to work quite the same way as it does by connecting directly to the Ring. Connecting the way @Keo did, the video from your doorbell appears on the Echo screen. However, when we set this up as a routine as suggested, she does in fact stop making that annoying "Someone is at the front door" statement, but we lose the functionality of seeing the Ring video on our Echo device. It would be REALLY nice to have the option to turn her saying "Someone is at the front door" off an on through the Ring connection, just like we can choose the different sounds that play.
