  Hi @MattHalley. I would try looking at this Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028205592-Using-Alexa-Guard-with-Alarm-to-Detect-Broken-Glass-Smoke-and-Carbon-Monoxide). This goes over the Alexa Guard Mode. Perhaps testing out Guard Mode for the Alexa could give you the desired result. Be sure to go into [Self Monitoring](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005322066-Understanding-Monitoring) while testing any new setups with the Ring Alarm to avoid any false alarms. You can switch to back Professional Monitoring at any time. I hope this helps!

  Thanks for the lead, but Alexa Guard does not not support this function. Is there a Ring device that extends the sound of the siren into a room other then that where the alarm is plugged in? I.e Our alarm is set up in the den. We need to hear the siren in the bedroom. Thank you.

  Hi @MattHalley. Sorry about that! The [Ring Alarm Keypad](https://ring.com/products/alarm-keypad-v2?_pos=1&_sid=c5afc9249&_ss=r) and the [Dome Siren](https://ring.com/products/dome-siren) can both be enabled to sound a siren in the event your Ring Alarm is triggered. I personally have a extra Keypad in my bedroom because it not only plays sounds, but I can easily arm/disarm if needed. I Hope this helps!

  How do you enable the keypad to play the siren. I can see how to enable chirps but not the siren.

  Hi there, @Hopenova! The Keypad will sound the siren automatically. Much like the Base Station, the siren is not an option that can be altered and the volume cannot be changed. This siren will sound from both the Base Station and Keypad at it's loudest, in the event of an emergency or Alarm siren trigger. I hope this helps! :)

  Hi neighbors! You can now have your Alexa-enabled Echo device play a chirp tone or the siren with the Play Alarm Sounds on Echo Devices feature. You can read more about this feature in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/4524869247124-Play-Alarm-Sounds-on-Echo-Devices). **How to Turn On Alarm Sounds on Echo Devices in the Alexa App:** * Ring Skill for Alexa must be enabled in your Alexa app. [Click here for step by step instructions.](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003247146-Integrating-Amazon-Alexa-supported-Devices-with-Ring-Devices) * Open the Alexa app and navigate to the Devices icon in the bottom right corner. * Slide tile of devices near the header of the page to the left and tap ‘All Devices’ tile. * Scroll through the list of ‘All Devices’ and select your Ring Security system (designated by a shield icon, see below). This feature is only available for neighbors in the US at this time, and it does not require an active Ring Protect plan subscription. Let me know if you have any other questions! :slight_smile:

  Please make this available outside the US. I don’t understand why this is not available in the first place, it is such a convenient feature and I assume simple to offer

  For some reason, this does not work on my Echo 3rd generation. Its sounding through my dots even though i set up both dots and the echo at the same rime for this siren feature.

  Hi @bestscreenname. It's recommended that you use the Echo Dot (3rd Gen or later), Echo Plus (2nd Gen or later), or Echo Show 5, 8, 10, or 15 with this feature. You can find troubleshooting steps for when your Ring and Alexa features aren't working in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050373832-What-to-do-if-your-Ring-and-Alexa-Features-Stopped-Working-).
