Support request: IF Ring Alarm motion detector senses motion, THEN start recording on camera
app-settings
wireless-security-cameras
I want my camera to start recording when the Ring Alarm motion sensor detects motion. I have gone to the Alexa app for iOS and get stuck on the step of creating a new Routine. I can make the trigger “when motion sensor x detects motion” but I’m unable to select the resulting action of “have camera x start recording” because it says all my cameras are “unsupported devices.” Is there another way to achieve this?
