Automatically display Ring Camera on Echo Show when motion detected

Last and final suggestion :slight_smile:

As it turns out you can “Share” a Routine. Here are the links to my “Show and Stop” Routines.

You have to click on the link on your phone, select/copy the link and open in the Alexa App.

Show Routine link;

You will need to, Rename the routine, Select the Camera/Ring to detect motion on, Verify the Custom Action “Show” and select the Alex Show device to display on;

Stop Routine link;

You will need to, Rename the routine, Select the Camera/Ring to detect motion on (this should be the same device selected above), Verify the Action “Wait” and time interval and select the Alex Show device to stop displaying on;

Does this work? Can you see the Custom Action?

Also, Johnboy, add a period (.) to your Says Action instead of a comma (,)

So instead of; Alexa, show fron door

It will be; Alexa. Show fron door
