Ring doorbell volume - Alexa routine

Products Video Doorbells
1

Got a couple of Alexa dots around the house which use as chimes.

Each has a routine setup on each which puts the volume to max when my ring doorbell is pressed.

Unfortunately after they are all set to max volume after.

Is there anyway to get them to default back to a lower volume after?

HI,

Iā€™ve added a picture of how I set a routine which has the last instruction to reduce the volume to a suitable level.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that.

Works well.

In your routine you have ā€œplay doorbell 1ā€ Anyway to get the default ring ā€œsomeone is at your doorā€ To play?

No, all I could find was the default Amazon bell sounds for the doorbell push. I have setup a similar routine for motion detection, see attached photo, this does announce ā€˜motion at the front doorā€™, so if someone pushes the bell I get a motion announcement followed by a doorbell sound, maybe thats over the top :slight_smile:

I didnā€™t add a follow up action on this routine to change to sound level but thatā€™s just personal preference.

This is nice, but how do you get to the ā€˜edit routineā€™ page?

Good question, @Hairy! To edit a routine, follow the steps found on this Amazon page about Alexa and smart devices. Feel free to also check out our help central article for creating routines with Alexa. I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Iā€™d like to see this picture as well.

I canā€™t find any info, anywhere, besides here, on how to lower the volume or return the volume back AFTER the doorbell routine is complete.

More than one action can be triggered by an event. The event is the doorbell is pressed. Then there are three actions: set volume to 10, wait ~15 seconds, set volume to 4. The actions have to be in that order too.
