I have 5 Ring cameras now - just installed an indoor stick-up camera. Bought it to keep an eye on our dog. We would like to be able to speak to the pooch, but that built-in speaker is not very good. We have an Echo in the same room. Sure would be nice to use it as the camera’s speaker and microphone. Can that be done?

Two way talk through an Alexa device is certainly possible. The following voice commands should initiate two way audio:

  • Alexa, talk to [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, talk to the person at the [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, can I talk to the person at my [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, please call [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, answer [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, speak to the [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, I wanna talk through [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, begin the call with [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, get the call going with [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, make a call to [Ring Device Name].
  • Alexa, respond to [Ring Device Name].
