Connecting Chime pro to Alexa
I am trying to connect the useless chime pro to amazon Alexa. At least I'd be able to create routines with it. However I search for devices and I dont find it. Can anyone help? Chime pro description on Amazon was that it extends the coverage for Ring devices. That's a false statement that was revised by Amazon after I bought to extends coverage of ring cameras and doorbells. I bought it because I wanted an additional speaker for when my ring alarm sounds + I wanted to extend the signal of the ring alarm... It does neither. Connecting it to Alexa however would allow me to create schedules making it a bit more useful

Hi @Maherg. First, I would like to clarify that the Chime Pro is not compatible with the Ring Alarm system. It is designed to act as a wifi extender for Ring Doorbells or Cameras, and it can also play alert tones for motions or rings from those Doorbells or Cameras. This is why it cannot play a chime tone for any Alarm components, as it's not compatible with the system. Additionally, the Chime Pro cannot be integrated with Alexa at this time. You can find a list of which devices are supported by Alexa, and which Alexa devices are supported by Ring in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031246412-Ring-Supported-Alexa-enabled-Devices). I hope this helps answer your questions, and you can find more articles on Ring and Alexa [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/sections/360006043651-Ring-Alexa) as well.

I agree that the Chime Pro is useless even though I was told at Amazon it was compatible with my Ring Doorbells and my Alexa Devices. I used to get the Motion and Ring alerts on my Alexa devices until I got my Show 10. I feel now that my Ring Doorbells are useless since I cannot get the alerts on my Alexa Devices. Also, it's a pain in the butt every winter my batteries die. Rethinking the how Ring thing competely now! I guess I should try Google Nest!

Can the ring alarm when alarming be a trigger to launch an Alexa routine. IE when someone breaks in, the ring alarm would set-off I would like to use that as a trigger to turn on the lights. The only triggers I see is when I arm or disarm the alarm but these are useless triggers.
