Hi neighbors. Our teams worked with Alexa to bring you Person and Package Announcements to get automatic Live View of your Ring camera feed on your Echo Show, Fire TV, or Fire Tablet, a voice announcement, and a mobile push notification when your Ring Camera detects a person or package.

Additionally, you can also utilize Alexa Routines to create custom routines for your Ring Doorbell and Security Camera. Check out our Help Center article on Alexa Routines here to see how to set one up. Other neighbors in this thread have shared the routines they’ve created that may also work for you. As always, thank you for your continued feedback and for being a member of the Ring Community.

Will this feature automatically end the live view on the echo show when there is no longer motion on the camera?

@flyfish This works flowlessly on my Show 5! Can’t thank enough!
Wishing you all the best.

@flyfish Thanks for your detailed instructions to set up the two routines. Works great on my Echo Show 10 after setting up on my iPhone.

Here we are, approaching three years later from op comment and this most basic feature is still not a built in component.

I’d have thought Amazon owning Ring since 2018 would result in perfect integration of the devices into the ecosystem, but if functionality as basic as this still doesn’t exist, it doesn’t bode well.

I’ve used the only way possible for this to work - have Alexa ‘say the command’, but very hit and miss. Majority of the time it says it can’t even find the device (simply named “driveway”).
I can’t see why it isn’t a core feature from the get go, to have a camera show on all smart monitors/devices when any motion is detected.
I don’t care about people or package detection specifically, I want all motion.

Seriously Ring, what is going on with this? Do you have no contact/communication/influence with the Alexa department?

Thank you. You are brilliant. This has been driving me crazy for a long time. Followed your instructions and it miraculously worked.
