Hello ring family. Since the update, I have noticed that the none of the ring sensors are triggering Alexa routines anymore. My routines are working fine when I do a test play of them but when trying to auto trigger the routine by one of the ring sensors, the routine doesn’t play. Example: I have a door contact sensor on my garage side door. When the sensor is opened, it turns on garage light. When the sensor is closed the light shuts off. I have gone through the process of unlinking… linking back etc… still not working. Anyone else experiencing this

    Hey neighbors. I wanted to share this Community Post [here](https://community.ring.com/t/my-favorite-alexa-routine/37519) about creating Alexa routines. I has some great information that might help!

      Nothing Ring Alarm related triggers Alexa routines now Motion Sensors, Door Sensors or Alarm state changes, nothing triggers an Alexa routine anymore. I used to have lights that turned on/off when doors opened/closed, nope not working anymore. I used to have everything turn off when the Alarm was set to away mode, nope not working anymore. The routine activates if I test it and the Alexa app even know if a door is open or closed etc, but no routines can be triggered.

        Same problem here. Alexa can see my Ring motion sensor in its linked devices list, but I can't get any routine to be triggered when motion is detected. This seems to be 1) a common and obvious use case and 2) something people have been reporting for months. C'mon Ring, get your act together!

      Hey @BB23! Try disabling the Ring skill and announcement in your Alexa app, then re-enable them. Please also check the wifi connection of all related devices (Ring/Alexa). Feel free to let us know how this goes! :)

        Hi all has this issue fault happened again I can manually run my routines which should be triggered by the ring motion sensor And via Alaxa I can see the sensor picking up the motion but it does not trigger the routine. It was all working fine untill 11th January then just stopped triggering the routines ?
