Automatically display Ring Camera on Echo Show when motion detected
I have a Ring Spotlight Camera (not doorbell) and an Echo Show 5 with latest firmware/updates. I would like the Echo Show to automatically display live view when the camera detects motion. I assumed this feature existed already as this can be achieved with the ring doorbell but when I posted a “how do I do this?” query, a Community Manager confirmed this is not possible and suggested I register a feature request. This would be simple to implement and would make for a much better user experience. At the moment, the Echo Show will announce that motion has been detected but I then have to manually ask it to “Show camera” Nest Cams with Google assistants have this feature and I assumed Ring would too. I think I’ve backed the wrong horse as this feature is important to me !

I also would like the feature for a pop up video on camera detecting motion. I have a camera which views my front door & drive & it would be great to see who's coming up the drive as soon as they enter the motion zone without having to activate it manually & the time I take usually means the reason for the activation has been missed I know that the Ring Video Doorbell activates live video as soon as the bell is pushed so I'm sure it's not too difficult to activate live video on motion detection

I bought a Google system and it did not have this feature so I switched to Amazon - which also did not have this feature.Thankfully the doorbell auto popup was added recently, but the feature we bought this for was auto popup on motion.Please add this, how hard could it be?

Update / Improve the Amazon Ring skill so that it automatically displays on an Amazon Show 8 device etc.. the Camera Live View when motion is detected NOT JUST on door bell ring.Right not it auto shows on door bell ring, but with motion it annoyingly says "There is motion detected at your driveway/front door".. instead of telling me - SHOW ME AUTOMATICALLY!

DExactly what I came her for. 98% of my package deliveries sense motion, but I cannot configure it to SHOW it on my Alexa Show Gen 2, (as the courier almost never ring the bell) which I bought for that purpose. I have a home office, and I would like to see what is causing the motion, rahter than simply hearing about it.

WAgreed this should be a feature not just on the Ring Doorbell but on the Stickup Cams and other motion detecting cams. Also the Ring Rapid app should go straight to Live view when you open app rather than opening app and then having to press the little arrow (or alternatively there should be a widget option that does this)

I'd actually buy a couple of Echo Shows if that could be made to happen...

Instead of alexa telling me there is motion at the garage how about an option to turn on auto pop up of camera. Instead of me hearing the motion alert.... then saying alexa... then show me garage... by the time it connects.... loading....... the person has moved out of cam view (lousy). There should be an option on echo devices to turn on or off (Auto camera Popup).Also when viewing a live camrea, and another camera detects motion it kicks me off the live feed and shows a motion notification.... this is verry annoying also. how about a pop up that says motion detected would you like to view this camera??? While your in a live feed aleady.My smartthings app on my smart tv shows me cameras as motion is dectected, why isnt this on echo devices yet? I realize this is mostly Amazon Echo terratory but it involves Ring Cameras so figured id post here first.. hopefully now that amazon and ring are together you can make things happen.Keep up the good work RING !
