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!
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.
Agreed 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)
Yes, please program some interfaces to allow motion detection events (doorbells Pro HD…, cameras with lights/floodlights…) to be shown on Echo Show devices.
I bought the Show 5 as it was deemed required for the Blink XT2 security camera and was bitterly disappointed that motion doesnt trigger the camera on neither the Echo Spot or Echo Show.
90% of the time everyone ignores the ring doorbell and knocks the door or presses the wired bell instead… Even with the ring security sticker at eye level on the front door.
Echo and Ring should put an option to automagically switch on the live feed when motion is detected at the ring camera. This will be a great step in the direction of competing with Nest and Google Home.
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.
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
There are no windows on the driveway side of our house. We bought a Ring doorbell to see motion in this area. This way we could see when guests/deliveries arrive. Please enable video from Ring to appear on Show when motion is detected.
